Mariners Start Luis Castillo in D.C. as Randy Arozarena Is Out With Pulled Hamstring

Randy Arozarena's hamstring injury forces a lineup reshuffle that boosts playing time for younger hitters.

Overview

The Mariners travel to Washington, D.C., to face the Nationals with Luis Castillo set to start for Seattle and Cade Cavalli starting for Washington.
Randy Arozarena pulled a hamstring and is unavailable, so Cole Young will lead off and Luke Raley and Dominic Canzone will bat fourth and fifth.
A rain-delayed game the day before finished as a 10-2 Mariners win and featured a strong outing from young right-hander Bryce Miller that factors into Seattle's short-term pitching plans.
Seattle's local broadcasts are listed as Mariners.TV and 710 AM Seattle Sports while Washington's coverage includes Nationals.TV and 106.7 The Fan.
The roster tweak highlights a broader trend this season of teams leaning on younger players and short-term lineup changes to cover injuries and manage pitching workloads.
