Crawford, Raleigh Back as Mariners Juggle Injured Roster

The Mariners are experiencing a significant roster shuffle as J.P. Crawford and Cal Raleigh have been activated off the injured list and are back in the lineup. This return comes amidst ongoing injury concerns for other players.

Randy Arozarena is day-to-day with a hamstring injury, and Josh Naylor is also day-to-day due to a bruised shin and sore wrist. Brendan Donovan continues his recovery progression, expected to take ten days to two weeks, with an anticipated multi-positional role upon return. Will Wilson's fractured thumb has led to his rehab assignment being pulled, with season-ending surgery a possibility.

In the bullpen, Cooper Criswell is sidelined for three to four weeks with a pec strain, and Matt Brash faces a similar timeline due to a lat strain that raises concerns about his shoulder. Carlos Vargas, who had a comparable injury, has begun a throwing program and is expected back around the same time as Criswell and Brash.

Justin Hollander described the current situation as a "juggling act," noting unprecedented challenges on the position player side. To accommodate returning players, Patrick Wisdom and Jhonny Pereda have been optioned to Triple-A.
