Mariners Face Orioles Amidst Roster Shuffles
9 Jun
Summary
- Mariners shortstop J.P. Crawford is on the injured list with a hand contusion.
- Colt Emerson, an infielder, was scratched due to back tightness.
- Logan Gilbert starts for Mariners seeking third straight win.
The Seattle Mariners and Baltimore Orioles are commencing a four-game series, with both teams making roster adjustments. Mariners shortstop J.P. Crawford has been placed on the 10-day injured list due to a right hand contusion after being hit by a pitch. Infielder Colt Emerson was also unavailable for Monday's game with back tightness.
Seattle secured a 6-3 win in the series opener, thanks in part to Josh Naylor's grand slam. Ryan Bliss was brought in as Crawford's replacement and played second base, while Cole Young shifted to shortstop. The Orioles are looking to end a three-game losing streak after squandering opportunities in the series opener.
For Tuesday's game, the Mariners will start right-hander Logan Gilbert (4-4, 3.79 ERA), who is seeking his third consecutive victory. He has been dominant in his recent road starts, not allowing a run over 17 2/3 innings across his last three outings. The Orioles are slated to start left-hander Trevor Rogers (3-6, 6.29 ERA), who earned his first win since April 1 in his last appearance.
