Not satisfied with hosting all these international visitors for the World Cup, Seattle will now tolerate the presence of 30,000 Candians for the annual series against the Blue Jays. The Mariners will look to get a little revenge for their Game 7 loss in last years ALCS, but they’ll have to do it without their star centerfielder. Julio Rodríguez was transferred to the 7-day concussion IL after getting hit in the back of the head by an errant throw on his way to second base last night. Víctor Robles
was also taken out of last night’s game after getting hit by a pitch on the forearm, but he is doing OK today and will take Julio’s place in centerfield. Miles Mastrobouni takes Julio’s place on the 26-man (and gets on the 40-man by way of Cooper Criswell being transfered to the 60-day IL).
Lineups
Sorry for the bad graphic. Elon now wants you logged in to get access to the team’s fancier graphics they post on Twitter. Such are the limits of my service journalism.
Tonight’s starting pitchers will be Dylan Cease for the Jays and Luis Castillo for Seattle. Cease was Tornoto’s big offseason acquisition, and has totally delivered. Rocking the second-lowest ERA, xERA, FIP, and xFIP of his career, Cease is right in the thick of the AL Cy Young conversation as the second half gets rolling. Castillo’s season is unfolding . . . differently.
