Gilbert did not factor into the decision Wednesday against the A's, allowing three runs on six hits and two walks over four innings. He struck out three.
While Gilbert was ultimately able to limit the damage after giving up two runs in the first inning, the right-hander needed 89 pitches to record just 12 outs, as he failed to complete five frames for the first time this year. Through six starts this season, Gilbert sports a 4.36 ERA with a 1.27 WHIP and 35:7 K:BB across 33 innings. He'll look to turn things around in his next outing, tentatively lined up for next week in Minnesota.
Munoz blew the save but picked up the win Wednesday against the A's, allowing a run on one hit in the ninth inning. He struck out one.
Protecting a one-run lead, Munoz left a two-strike slider over the plate to Nick Kurtz, who launched a 438-foot homer to tie the game, sticking Munoz with his first blown save this year. The right-hander would ultimately come away with the win after Seattle answered with a walk-off run in the bottom half of the frame. After a stellar 2025 campaign, Munoz has been shaky to open 2026 -- he's given up eight earned runs across nine innings after allowing just 12 earned runs in 62.1 frames last year. His ERA sits at 8.00 with a 1.56 WHIP and 15:5 K:BB.

Mariners' Cal Raleigh: Homers in third straight game
Rotowire
Raleigh went 3-for-5 with a solo home run, a stolen base and an additional run scored in Wednesday's 5-4 win over the A's.
Raleigh has officially heated up after an ice-cold start to the year. The backstop has homered in three straight contests, going 6-for-13 with just two strikeouts in that span. Overall, Raleigh is slashing .198/.281/.386 with five home runs, 14 RBI and two stolen bases across 114 plate appearances this season.
Raleigh went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in a loss to the Athletics on Tuesday.
Raleigh accounted for Seattle's only extra-base hit of the game with a solo homer in the fifth inning. It was the star catcher's second long ball in as many days after he went deep just twice over his first 23 contests of the campaign. Raleigh is still sporting a meager .177/.266/.333 slash line and 30.3 percent strikeout rate, but his recent power surge could be an indication that he's beginning to turn things around at the plate.

Mariners' Luis Castillo: Fans six in no-decision
Rotowire
Castillo tossed five innings against the Athletics on Tuesday, allowing two runs on five hits and two walks while striking out six batters.
Castillo gave up a run in the first inning and another in the fourth but kept Seattle in the contest throughout his time in the game. The right-hander wasn't very efficient, however, as he needed 95 pitches to complete five frames. That was partly because he had his swing-and-miss stuff working -- Castillo recorded 14 whiffs, and his six punchouts were his second most through five starts so far this season. The veteran hurler is still looking for his first victory, which he'll try to notch in what's projected to be a matchup versus Minnesota on the road his next time out.
Hoppe was recalled from Triple-A Tacoma on Tuesday.
Hoppe has appeared in eight games for Triple-A Tacoma in 2026 and has not surrendered a run on four hits with a 12:3 K:BB across eight innings. The 27-year-old will look to build off his early season minor-league success when he makes his MLB debut out of the bullpen. In a corresponding move, the Mariners designated Casey Legumina for assignment.

Mariners' Casey Legumina: Loses roster spot
Rotowire
The Mariners designated Legumina for assignment Tuesday, Adam Jude of The Seattle Times reports.
Legumina surrendered three earned runs on three hits and a walk in his inning of relief in Monday's 6-4 loss to the Athletics. The right-hander had started the season with five scoreless appearances, totaling 7.1 innings. However, in his last three games since April 14, he surrender six earned runs across 4.1 innings. The Mariners will promote Alex Hoppe from Triple-A Tacoma.

Mariners' Dominic Canzone: Homer, two hits in loss
Rotowire
Canzone went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a double in Monday's 6-4 loss to the A's.
Canzone extended Seattle's early lead to 3-0 in the second inning with his third homer of the season, a leadoff blast off J.T. Ginn. The 28-year-old Canzone has been limited to the strong side of a platoon to open the year, though he's been hot at the plate, going 5-for-8 with three extra-base hits in his last two contests. Overall, Canzone is slashing .275/.333/.569 with 10 RBI and nine runs scored across 57 plate appearances.

Mariners' Cal Raleigh: Homers Monday
Rotowire
Raleigh went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Monday's 6-4 loss to the A's.
Raleigh opened the scoring in the first inning with an opposite-field blast off J.T. Ginn, his third homer of the year and first in nine games. While Monday's long ball is promising, Raleigh's been stuck in an extended slump to open the season following his breakout 2025 campaign. He's slashing just .161/.248/.290 with a 30.5 percent strikeout rate through 24 games this year.
Mariners' Josh Naylor: Notches first steal of season
Rotowire
Naylor went 3-for-4 with two doubles, an RBI and a stolen base in a loss to the Athletics on Monday.
Naylor knocked in a run in the first inning with his first double of the season. He added two more knocks (including another double) to finish with his first multi-hit game of the campaign. To add to his big night, Naylor stole his first base of the season following an eighth-inning single. He was a big surprise in the theft department when he collected a career-high 30 stolen bases during the regular season last year, but this was Naylor's first attempt in 2026. That's partly because he hasn't gotten on base much -- entering Monday, he was batting just .146 with a .231 OBP. Naylor is still at a poor .174 batting average even after Monday's big effort, but he may be turning things around, as he's gone 6-for-10 with two walks over his past three contests.

Mariners' Emerson Hancock: Tagged for three homers Monday
Rotowire
Hancock allowed three runs on seven hits and no walks while striking out three batters over five-plus innings in a no-decision against the Athletics on Monday.
Hancock held the A's to just one run (on a Carlos Cortes solo homer) through five frames, but he then served up back-to-back solo shots to Nick Kurtz and Shea Langeliers in the sixth before being pulled. It was just the second time through five outings that Hancock has been unable to complete six frames, and Monday marked the first time the right-hander has served up more than one long ball in a contest. Hancock has opened the campaign pitching quite well, posting a 2.83 ERA, 0.87 WHIP and 28:4 K:BB through 28.2 innings.
Mariners' Brendan Donovan: Hoping for brief IL stint
Rotowire
The Mariners are optimistic that Donovan (groin) will be able to avoid a lengthy stay on the 10-day injured list, Adam Jude of the Seattle Times reports.
Donovan landed on the 10-day injured list Monday after missing Seattle's previous two matchups due to the left groin injury. "It doesn't seem like it's going to be a longer-term situation," said manager Dan Wilson. "But again, we just kind of have to assess it as we go." Wilson also mentioned that Donovan's groin injury seems to be related to a sports hernia, which required surgery last October and forced him to miss the last month of the 2025 season while with St. Louis. "This is just something that we're going to take as cautiously as we can. It's early and we want to give him the best chance to get back and be 100%," noted Wilson. An official timetable for Donovan's return should come into focus after he starts to make progress in his rehab.

Mariners' Leo Rivas: Filling in for injured Donovan
Rotowire
Rivas will start at third base and bat ninth in Monday's game against the Athletics.
Rivas will cover the hot corner for the third game in a row and could be in line for a regular starting role for at least the next week after Seattle placed Brendan Donovan (groin) on the 10-day injured list Monday. The 28-year-old hasn't provided much reason to get excited about his fantasy prospects; over 61 plate appearances on the season, he's hit just .143 with no home runs, no stolen bases, four runs and four RBI.

Mariners' Colt Emerson: Nursing wrist injury at Triple-A
Rotowire
The Mariners declined to recall Emerson from Triple-A Tacoma to take Brendan Donovan's (groin) roster spot in part because Emerson has been dealing with a wrist injury, Adam Jude of The Seattle Times reports.
Emerson homered in his last game for Tacoma on Saturday but did not play in Sunday's contest. It's unclear if the top prospect will miss any additional time. The timing of the injury is unfortunate, although the Mariners might have decided against promoting Emerson even if he was healthy, as Donovan's absence is not expected to last long. Signed to an eight-year, $95 million contract extension in late March, Emerson is slashing .258/.361/.452 with two homers and six stolen bases in his first 73 plate appearances with Tacoma. The 20-year-old has a good chance to make his major-league debut in the first half, but for now he'll focus on getting healthy and returning to the Rainiers' lineup.

Mariners' Will Wilson: Receives call-up to majors
Rotowire
The Mariners selected Wilson's contract from Triple-A Tacoma on Monday.
Wilson will join the big-league roster as a replacement for Brendan Donovan (groin), who was moved to the 10-day injured list. Leo Rivas had started at third base in both of the Mariners' last two games and will likely serve as Donovan's primary replacement at the position, leaving Wilson in line to fill the utility role that Rivas had previously handled. The 27-year-old Wilson saw big-league action in 34 games with Cleveland last season, slashing .192/.267/.244 with no home runs and two stolen bases over 91 plate appearances.
