The Mariners limp back home after a rough road trip but have to face the same team again as the Orioles come to town. Jake covered this well in his cleverly-titled series preview, which you can check out here.
Lineups:
The good news is J.P. and Cal are back. The bad news is the Mariners are dealing with other bumps and bruises, so this lineup still looks…pretty patched-together.
Injury updates/Roster moves:
There’s a whole separate article on the site about this because there are so many and I encourage
you to read that, but in short: Naylor and Raley both day-to-day; Randy to 10-day IL; J.P. and Cal back; Wisdom and Pereda down.
The Orioes had a roster move of their own, reinstating pitcher Ryan Helsley from the IL; in a corresponding move, RHP Anthony Nunez has been optioned to Triple-A.
News:
In case you missed it, Dan Wilson said the Mariners will be returning to the piggyback pitching strategy, at least until the All-Star Break. Read more here.
