The Mariners and Orioles will face off Wednesday to settle both this three-game set and their season series.
Bryan Woo gets the ball for the M’s, and he is likely thrilled to be back home and making a start in the friendly confines of T-Mobile Park. This season, Woo’s home/away splits have differed drastically, with better performance in almost every major statistical category at home. He features a 2.07 FIP in Seattle, in contrast to 4.28 everywhere else. We’ll see how that factors in against an Orioles
lineup that pieced him up for seven runs in his last start in Baltimore only a week ago.
The O’s will start righty Shane Baz, who the Mariners did not face in their four-game set last week.
Lineups
Josh Naylor is back in the lineup after missing a couple of games with a wrist issue; he’ll be closely monitored to see how he responds. Mitch Garver will do the catching, while Cal Raleigh gets a DH day in his third game back from the injured list.
Injury updates
Julio Rodríguez is being given a rest day after leaving last night’s game with a hamstring spasm, though he could be available off the bench. He was active during pregame today.
Luke Raley has been dealing with back tightness, but it’s the flu that’s now keeping him away from the team; he is expected to be back at the ballpark tomorrow. In addition, Cooper Criswell received a PRP injection today and will be down 2-3 weeks before he can begin building back up for a return to the roster.
