Chris Nelson

KC Third Base Coach

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
Chris Nelson hit a solo home run in Friday’s blowout loss to the Astros.

Nelson’s fourth home run of the season was his second of the month. The former first-round pick has hit just .251/.279/.389 in 183 plate appearances this season, and shouldn’t be ticketed for more than a bench role in 2012.

George Springer is back at DH and hitting leadoff during Wednesday’s series finale against the Phillies.

Springer was given a day off to reset mentally during Tuesday’s contest with Vladimir Guerrero Jr. moving up to the leadoff spot in his place. Guerrero is hitting second in this one followed by a red-hot Ernie Clement to face Phillies southpaw Jesús Luzardo.

Konnor Griffin

PIT Shortstop #85

Konnor Griffin (forearm) resumed throwing on Wednesday.

Griffin told reporters afterwards that he felt fine while throwing at roughly three quarters intensity. The 20-year-old rookie sensation is facing a lengthier absence than originally anticipated after hitting the injured list with a forearm strain back on May 31. It’ll likely take him a couple weeks to ramp up a throwing progression before he’s cleared to return to game action on a minor league rehab assignment, but he remains without an official return timetable for now.

Colt Emerson

SEA Shortstop #85
Colt Emerson (back) remains out of the lineup for Wednesday’s contest against the Orioles.

The encouraging development here is that Emerson was able to resume swinging a bat and is optimistic he’ll avoid a trip to the injured list. The 20-year-old top prospect is sitting out his third consecutive game due to back tightness with Cole Young drawing another start at shortstop. Emerson is presumably day-to-day heading into Thursday’s series finale in Baltimore.

Miles Mastrobuoni

SEA 3rd Baseman #21

Mariners activated INF/OF Miles Mastrobuoni from the 60-day injured list.

Mastrobuoni returns to Seattle’s bench mix as a versatile multi-position specialist after missing the first 10 weeks of the season recovering from a calf strain that he suffered while playing in the World Baseball Classic.

Domingo González

SEA Relief Pitcher #46

Mariners recalled RHP Domingo González from Triple-A Tacoma.

González provides Seattle with a fresh arm for the final two contests of a four-game series against Baltimore. The 26-year-old tossed 5 2/3 scoreless frames over four appearances for the Mariners last month during his first taste of the majors.

Matt Brash

SEA Relief Pitcher #47

Mariners placed RHP Matt Brash on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to June 9, with a right lat strain.

Return timelines for shoulder injuries are typically measured in months, not weeks, making this a concerning development for Seattle’s high-leverage mix. The 28-year-old missed nearly three weeks with a lat strain last month. There should be some clarity on his status at some point in the near future. He’ll likely be on the shelf through next month’s All-Star break given the nature of the ailment.

Ryan Bliss

SEA 2nd Baseman #1

Mariners optioned INF Ryan Bliss to Triple-A Tacoma.

Bliss went 1-for-6 during a pair of contests during his latest stint with the Mariners, which wound up lasting roughly 48 hours. His return to the minors coincides with versatile Miles Mastrobuoni returning from the injured list for his season debut.

Yosver Zulueta

SEA Relief Pitcher #61

Mariners designated RHP Yosver Zulueta for assignment.

Zulueta never wound up making an appearance for Seattle after being acquired from the Reds in a trade back in January. The 28-year-old righty figures to pass through waivers unclaimed since he holds a pedestrian 5.32 ERA and 25/11 K/BB ratio across 23 2/3 innings at the big-league level since 2024.

Nick Fortes

TB Catcher #40

Nick Fortes went 4-for-4 with two doubles and three runs scored as the Rays held off the Red Sox 7-5 on Wednesday.

Fortes couldn’t quite muster a homer, with 406- and 399-foot flies both going for doubles, but it was still quite a day. It’s the second time in 454 major league games that he’s managed four hits and the seventh time that he’s scored three runs. He had seven hits in all in the series against Boston, raising his OPS from .585 to .664.

Drew Rasmussen

TB Starting Pitcher #57

Drew Rasmussen fanned a career-high 13 over seven scoreless innings in defeating the Red Sox on Wednesday.

Rasmussen had just one previous 10-strikeout game, finishing with exactly 10 against the Yankees on Sept. 9, 2022. He got 20 missed swings and allowed just two hits and two hard-hit balls today. The Red Sox swung at 15 of the 23 four-seamers he threw and racked up eight whiffs without ever putting any of them in play. Rasmussen has pitched seven scoreless innings in three of his last four starts and is 6-2 with a 2.71 ERA on the season. He’ll face the Dodgers next week.
