Mariners' Lazaro Montes: Sitting again versus lefty
Montes is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rangers.
Since his promotion, the left-handed-hitting Montes has now been held out of the lineup all four times the Mariners have faced a lefty hurler. He did deal with a minor hip injury during that time, as well, but it seems clear the rookie will be used on a long side of a platoon. Montes clubbed his second big-league home run in Tuesday's game, and he's 4-for-18 with a 1:9 BB:K in his first six games in the majors.

Mariners' Lazaro Montes: Back in lineup
Montes (hip) will serve as the designated hitter and bat eighth Tuesday against the Rangers.
Montes entered Seattle's last two games off the bench after suffering a hip injury Friday, and he's now feeling well enough to return to the starting nine for Tuesday's series opener. The 21-year-old homered in his MLB debut last Tuesday but has since gone just 1-for-10 with an RBI and six strikeouts in four contests.

Mariners' Lazaro Montes: Launches second homer
Montes went 1-for-4 with a three-run homer in Tuesday's 10-5 loss to the Rangers.
Making his return to the lineup after missing Seattle's previous two games with a hip injury, Montes cut the M's deficit to 4-3 in the fourth inning with a three-run blast off Cal Quantrill that traveled 474 feet, tied for the longest homer in the majors this season. After going 2-for-4 with a home run in his major-league debut on Sep. 1, Montes had gone just 1-for-10 in his subsequent four contests. Still, the rookie should see regular playing time down the stretch in a strong-side platoon role.

Mariners' Lazaro Montes: Sitting again Sunday
Montes (hip) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics.
The 21-year-old Montes departed Friday's contest due to left hip soreness and is on the bench Sunday for a second consecutive game. He's guaranteed another day of rest since the Mariners have a team day off Monday. Dominic Canzone is manning right field for Seattle while Cal Raleigh rests his legs as the designated hitter.

Mariners' Lazaro Montes: Remaining out Saturday
Montes (hip) isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Athletics.
Montes was taken out of Friday's contest early due to left hip soreness, and he'll need at least one more day to recover before returning to action. Taylor Ward will pick up a start at designated hitter as a result and bat seventh.

Mariners' Lazaro Montes: Leaves game with hip soreness
Montes was removed from Friday's game against the Athletics with left hip soreness.
The 21-year-old crashed into the outfield wall while attempting to make a play on a Zack Gelof triple, which led to Montes exiting his third career MLB game. Though the Mariners have provided the location of Montes' injury, the full extent of the issue remains uncertain. Consider him day-to-day for now.

Mariners' Lazaro Montes: Exits after crashing into wall
Montes was removed from Friday's game against the Athletics in the fifth inning with an apparent injury, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.
Montes, playing in just his third MLB game, crashed hard into the outfield wall while trying to make a play on a Zack Gelof triple in the top of the fifth. While Montes got up and was walking around afterward, he was replaced in right field by Taylor Ward in between innings.

Mariners' Lazaro Montes: Sitting versus southpaw
Montes is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game in Boston.
Montes homered as part of a two-hit day in his major-league debut Tuesday, but the left-handed batter will not start Wednesday as the Red Sox send southpaw Patrick Sandoval to the bump. Taylor Ward is in right field for the Mariners, and he will likely continue to platoon with Montes between that position and designated hitter.

Mariners' Lazaro Montes: Homers in big-league debut
Montes went 2-for-4 with an RBI single, a solo home run and an additional run scored during Tuesday's 9-6 win over Boston.
Montes was promoted from Triple-A Tacoma ahead of his major-league debut Tuesday, serving as the designated hitter. His RBI single in the third inning was his first big-league hit before he belted a 407-foot solo homer to center field in the fifth to give the Mariners a commanding 9-1 lead. Although he was the DH on Tuesday, Montes should see plenty of reps in right field given Taylor Ward's recent struggles at the plate.

Mariners' Lazaro Montes: Officially promoted to big leagues
The Mariners selected Montes's contract from Triple-A Tacoma on Tuesday.
The Mariners will give Montes a look in September as they try to make up ground in the American League Wild Card race. Montes has popped 38 home runs while collecting a .928 OPS between Double-A Arkansas and Tacoma this season, though it's also come with a 30.6 percent strikeout rate. The 21-year-old slugger should see regular playing time against righties, which would likely eat into the opportunities of the struggling Taylor Ward (.378 OPS with Seattle). Montes is starting at designated hitter and batting seventh Tuesday in Boston in his major-league debut.

Mariners' Lazaro Montes: Set for promotion this week
The Mariners are expected to call up Montes from Triple-A Tacoma on Tuesday, Francys Romero of BeisbolFR.com reports.
Montes will make the leap to the big leagues after slashing .274/.369/.571 with 13 home runs and three stolen bases in 44 games since being bumped up from Double-A Arkansas to Triple-A in early July. The 21-year-old bats from the left side of the plate and has been a full-time right fielder and designated hitter in the minors this season, so he could end up occupying the strong side of a platoon with Taylor Ward, who has mustered a lowly .371 OPS since being acquired from the Orioles on Aug. 3.

Mariners' Lazaro Montes: Moving up to Triple-A
The Mariners promoted Montes from Double-A Arkansas to Triple-A Tacoma on Sunday, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.
Montes slashed .234/.369/.550 with 25 home runs at Arkansas, which included a 1.199 OPS in June. Contact remains an issue, as the hulking slugger has struck out at a 30.4 percent clip in 2026, but he has some of the best power of any minor-league hitter and has a chance to reach the majors before the end of this season.
