Mariners' Emerson Hancock: Moves to bullpen at Triple-A
Hancock has moved to the bullpen at Triple-A Tacoma and allowed one run on two hits and one walk over one inning of work in his first relief appearance there Wednesday.
The bottom-line results weren't there for Hancock, but he averaged 97.4 mph with his four-seamer in the outing. That's a substantial velocity uptick from the 94.7 mph he's averaged this season during his time as a starter with the Mariners. It's not clear whether this is a permanent move to the bullpen for Hancock, but he could turn into a weapon in relief with his stuff playing up in shorter bursts.

Mariners' Emerson Hancock: Sent to Tacoma
The Mariners optioned Hancock to Triple-A Tacoma on Wednesday.
Hancock will be sent back to the minors one day after allowing five runs over six innings in a loss to the Royals to push his ERA on the season to 5.47. The right-hander had been lined up to start Sunday against the Pirates, so the Mariners will need to find a replacement in the rotation for this weekend.

Mariners' Emerson Hancock: Handed fifth loss
Hancock (3-5) allowed five runs on seven hits and three walks while striking out one over six innings to take the loss Tuesday versus the Royals.
Hancock struggled early, allowing three runs over the first two innings. Salvador Perez added a two-run double in the fifth, which was too much for the Mariners to come back from. Hancock has lost three straight starts, allowing 16 runs over 15 innings with an 8:9 K:BB in that span. He's now at a 5.47 ERA, 1.44 WHIP and 53:30 K:BB across 77.1 innings over 15 starts this season. The right-hander is tentatively projected for a favorable home matchup against the Pirates this weekend.

Mariners' Emerson Hancock: Falls to Minnesota
Hancock (3-4) took the loss Thursday against the Twins, allowing two runs on three hits and three walks over five innings. He struck out two.
Hancock was sharp early, blanking Minnesota through his first four innings, before giving up a two-run homer to Trevor Larnach in the fifth. While Hancock would ultimately take a second straight loss, it was a good bounce-back effort after he gave up nine runs and four homers in his previous outing against the Cubs. Overall, Hancock sports a 5.30 ERA with a 1.42 WHIP and 52:27 K:BB across 14 starts (71.1 innings) this season. He's currently scheduled to face the Royals at home in his next start.

Mariners' Emerson Hancock: Tagged for nine runs in loss
Hancock (3-3) took the loss Saturday, allowing nine runs on six hits and three walks over four innings against the Cubs. He struck out five.
The right-hander gave up back-to-back home runs to open the first inning, setting the tone for a rough outing in which he allowed season highs in runs and homers (four). Hancock has shown flashes of his potential but has struggled with consistency, rarely stringing together consecutive strong starts. On the season, the 26-year-old holds a 5.43 ERA and 1.43 WHIP over 66.1 innings across 13 starts.

Mariners' Emerson Hancock: Excellent in third win
Hancock (3-2) allowed two hits and a walk while striking out four over seven shutout innings to earn the win over the Guardians on Sunday.
Hancock had his longest outing of the year and had no trouble keeping Cleveland's offense under control. He finished the start with just 85 pitches (56 strikes), and he was able to erase two of the baserunners he allowed by inducing double plays. This was Hancock's sixth straight start with fewer than three runs allowed, though he has just two quality starts in that span as he's struggled to meet the six-inning requirement. Hancock has a 4.48 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 45:21 K:BB through 62.1 innings over 12 starts. With Bryce Miller (elbow) back on the injured list through the All-Star break, Hancock will continue to serve as the Mariners' fifth starter, with his next outing projected to be on the road versus the Cubs.

Mariners' Emerson Hancock: Takes another no-decision
Hancock allowed two runs on six hits and three walks while striking out three over five innings in a no-decision versus the Diamondbacks on Monday.
Corbin Carroll sent Hancock's first pitch of the game out to left field, but the Seattle right-hander settled in fine after that. He's allowed five runs with a 13:8 K:BB over 16 innings across his last three starts, which have all been no-decisions. He isn't actively doing anything wrong, but he also isn't standing out all that much. Hancock has a 5.04 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 41:20 K:BB across 55.1 innings over 11 starts this season. Logan Gilbert (elbow) is set for a rehab start Tuesday, and if that goes well, he could be activated this weekend. That would likely spell the end of Hancock's current stint with the big club, though Bryce Miller has also struggled lately. The team hasn't tipped its hand as to who will get bumped out of the rotation when Gilbert returns.

Mariners' Emerson Hancock: Pitches well in no-decision
Hancock didn't factor into the decision Wednesday against Baltimore, allowing one run on two hits and two walks with six strikeouts over 5.2 innings.
Hancock blanked the Orioles through five innings before Adley Rutschman broke the stalemate with a solo homer in the sixth frame. Aside from a rough start May 12 against the Yankees, Hancock has been excellent lately. Outside of that game in which he gave up seven runs, Hancock owns a 2.93 ERA across 27.2 innings since the start of May. With Logan Gilbert (elbow) on the mend, Hancock's time in the Mariners' rotation could be coming to a close.

Mariners' Emerson Hancock: Solid in no-decision Thursday
Hancock didn't factor into the decision Thursday against the Nationals after allowing two runs on two hits and three walks in 5.1 innings. He struck out four.
Hancock yielded a season-low two hits, but one went for extra bases on a two-run double by James Wood in the sixth inning. Hancock has fanned more than five just one time this season, and he's mostly struggled with a 5.64 ERA, 1.57 WHIP, 32:15 K:BB and .307 opponent batting average over 44.2 innings. The right-hander is tentatively set to take the mound versus the reeling Orioles next week, but Hancock is likely to lose his rotation spot once both Bryce Miller (elbow) and Logan Gilbert (elbow) come off the injured list.

Mariners' Emerson Hancock: Quality start in second win
Hancock (2-2) recorded the win Friday against the Astros after allowing three runs on nine hits and no walks in six innings. He struck out three.
Friday marked Hancock's first win since his third start of the season back in late April, and it was also his fourth qualify start in 2025. The 2020 first-rounder has surrendered six runs or greater on two occasions this year, but he's thrown five innings while conceding two runs or fewer in five other instances among his eight outings. Hancock's next turn in the rotation arrives next week versus the Nationals, and he owns a 5.95 ERA, 1.65 WHIP and 28:12 K:BB over 39.1 innings.

Mariners' Emerson Hancock: Inefficient in no-decision
Hancock allowed a run on six hits and a walk while striking out three over 4.2 innings in a no-decision versus the Padres on Saturday.
Hancock did alright Saturday, but he needed 88 pitches (56 strikes) to get 14 outs. It was still a bit of a rebound effort after he allowed seven runs over five innings to the Yankees in his previous start. Overall, Hancock's numbers are skewed by two bad outings -- he's at a 6.21 ERA, 1.68 WHIP and 25:12 K:BB across 33.1 innings over seven starts. He's not guaranteed another turn in the rotation, but the addition of Bryce Miller (elbow) to the injured list Wednesday, joining fellow starters George Kirby (shoulder) and Logan Gilbert (elbow), makes it more likely Hancock gets another start. That outing is tentatively projected to be on the road in Houston.

Mariners' Emerson Hancock: Tagged for seven runs
Hancock (1-2) allowed seven runs on eight hits and four walks while striking out five over five innings to take the loss Monday versus the Yankees.
Hancock's run of three straight quality starts came to an end as the Yankees got to him. Trent Grisham had a pair of solo shots, and Austin Wells capped a six-run fifth inning with a three-run blast. The three homers allowed matched the total Hancock had given up over his first five starts of the year combined. He's now at a 6.91 ERA, 1.71 WHIP and 22:11 K:BB across 28.2 innings over six starts. Hancock will likely get one more turn in the rotation -- a road start at San Diego this weekend -- before ceding his spot to George Kirby (shoulder), though Hancock could stick around as a starter if Logan Gilbert's (elbow) recovery timeline trends toward the end of May or early June.

Mariners' Emerson Hancock: Turns in another quality start
Hancock allowed two runs on four hits and two walks while striking out two over six innings in a no-decision versus the Athletics on Tuesday.
Hancock has rattled off three straight quality starts, though he has just one win to show for it in that span. He did enough to keep this game close, and the Mariners' offense pulled out a win with a ninth-inning rally. Hancock is now at a 5.70 ERA, 1.56 WHIP and 17:7 K:BB over 23.2 innings over five starts, though the sample is small enough to still be skewed by his poor season debut March 31 versus the Tigers. Hancock should be able to maintain a rotation spot while both of George Kirby (shoulder) and Logan Gilbert (elbow) are on the mend. Hancock's next start is projected to be at home versus the Yankees next week.

Mariners' Emerson Hancock: Logs quality start vs. Angels
Hancock did not factor into the decision Wednesday against the Angels, allowing three runs on nine hits and two walks over six innings. He struck out four.
It's the second straight quality start for Hancock, who's pitched to a 3.71 ERA in three outings (17 innings) since rejoining the Mariners after allowing six runs in just two-thirds of an inning during his first start this year. Hancock will look to continue the upward trend in his next outing, tentatively scheduled for next week against the A's.

Mariners' Emerson Hancock: Fans career-high seven
Hancock (1-1) picked up the win Wednesday in an 8-5 victory over the Red Sox, allowing two runs on five hits and two walks over six innings. He struck out seven.
The seven Ks were a career high for Hancock, who racked up an impressive 32 called or swinging strikes among his 92 pitches (62 total strikes). With George Kirby (shoulder) not expected back until late May or early June, the Mariners have been scrambling to find a fifth starter, and Hancock's performance Wednesday should buy him more time in the role. Over his last two outings, the right-hander has a 3.27 ERA and 11:2 K:BB in 11 innings. He lines up to make his next start at home early next week against the Angels.
