Overview
- The Mariners have gone 10-1 since the July 31 trade deadline, posting the best record in the American League and closing to within one game of the Astros for the division lead.
- Josh Naylor has been a breakout catalyst, delivering a .346/.433/.808 slash line and a 1.241 OPS in August.
- Eugenio Suárez has struggled in contrast, hitting just .088/.135/.176 with a single home run since the trade.
- Cal Raleigh has homered in each of the last three games to extend his MLB-leading total to 45 during Seattle’s winning streak.
- Victor Robles and Bryce Miller are on track for late-August activations, set to bolster the lineup’s contact and speed and add depth to the rotation.
