Ward is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game in Boston.
Ward has been dreadful since being acquired by the Mariners at the trade deadline, slashing .121/.227/.152 across 19 contests. As a result, he might find himself on the short side of a platoon moving forward. Lazaro Montes has been called up and is slotted in at designated hitter for Seattle on Tuesday.

Mariners' Connor Joe: DFA'd by Seattle
Rotowire
The Mariners designated Joe for assignment Tuesday.
Joe was up in the majors for much of April and May and was briefly up with the Mariners in June, but he never found his footing at the plate with a .597 OPS in 45 plate appearances. The 34-year-old has an underwhelming .262/.362/.419 slash line with eight homers and six steals in 73 games for Tacoma in the hitter-friendly Pacific Coast League.

Mariners' Nolan Kingham: Scrubbed from 40-man roster
Rotowire
The Mariners designated Kingham for assignment Tuesday.
Space on the 40-man roster was needed as the Mariners announced their September call-ups. Kingham was a waiver claim in August and has posted a 6.34 ERA and 61:25 K:BB over 61 innings at the Triple-A level in 2026.

Mariners' Hoby Milner: Added to Seattle roster
Rotowire
The Mariners signed Milner to a minor-league contract Monday and selected his contract from Triple-A Tacoma.
Milner was released by the Cubs on Sunday but has quickly landed on his feet. The southpaw reliever hasn't pitched in the majors since undergoing an appendectomy in late June, but he's healthy now and will give manager Dan Wilson another lefty reliever. Milner has logged a 3.53 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and an 18:9 K:BB over 35.2 innings in the big leagues this season.

Mariners' Lazaro Montes: Officially promoted to big leagues
Rotowire
The Mariners selected Montes's contract from Triple-A Tacoma on Tuesday.
The Mariners will give Montes a look in September as they try to make up ground in the American League Wild Card race. Montes has popped 38 home runs while collecting a .928 OPS between Double-A Arkansas and Tacoma this season, though it's also come with a 30.6 percent strikeout rate. The 21-year-old slugger should see regular playing time against righties, which would likely eat into the opportunities of the struggling Taylor Ward (.378 OPS with Seattle). Montes is starting at designated hitter and batting seventh Tuesday in Boston in his major-league debut.
Raleigh went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Monday's 9-8 loss to the Red Sox.
Raleigh extended Seattle's lead to 8-5 in the seventh inning with his 20th homer of the year, a 355-foot shot off Erik Miller. Raleigh's now gone deep seven times in his last 10 games while going 11-for-34 (.324) with a 1.396 OPS in that span. Despite the hot stretch, Raleigh is still slashing just .171/.287/.359 with 54 RBI and 35 runs scored across 432 plate appearances this season.

Mariners' Andres Munoz: Blows another save Monday
Rotowire
Munoz blew the save Monday against Boston, allowing one run on one hit and no walks in 1.1 innings. He struck out three.
It was a rare instance where Munoz was tasked with recording more than three outs, and he took his fourth blown save in his last 10 outings and ninth of the season. The hard-throwing right-hander endured a rough month of August, posting a 5.56 ERA with five saves in nine chances covering 11 appearances, so he's certainly testing Seattle's trust with him in its closer role.

Mariners' Randy Arozarena: Monster performance in Boston
Rotowire
Arozarena went 4-for-5 with a home run, a double, four RBI and two additional runs scored in Monday's 9-8 extra-inning loss to Boston.
The 31-year-old outfielder racked up a season-high-tying four RBI on Monday, tallying his second four-hit attack of 2026. Arozarena has remained a fantasy stalwart this season, slashing .274/.371/.465 with 21 big flies, 62 RBI, 20 stolen bases and 88 runs scored over 561 plate appearances for his sixth straight 20-homer, 20-steal campaign.

Mariners' George Kirby: Uneven results continue
Rotowire
Kirby took a no-decision against the Red Sox on Monday, allowing five runs on seven hits and two walks in five innings. He struck out two.
The ball was flying around Fenway Park on Monday early and often, and Kirby was tagged for four extra-base hits on the evening. The right-hander has been a hit-or-miss fantasy option since coming back from the All-Star break, giving up at least five runs in four of his last eight outings while yielding less than two in the other half. He'll be aiming for some consistency in a favorable home matchup with the Athletics this weekend, carrying a 4.19 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 128:36 K:BB over 152.2 innings.
Rodden is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Red Sox.
Weston Wilson will enter the starting nine at third base in place of Rodden. The switch-hitting infielder had been included in the lineup in each of the Mariners' last six games, going 0-for-16 with a 2:4 BB:K during that stretch.
Miller will rejoin the Mariners' rotation following the injury to Emerson Hancock (adductor), Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.
Miller did not make any relief appearances after manager Dan Wilson announced last week that the righty would be demoted to the bullpen, and he's now re-entering the rotation. The right-hander has posted a 7.18 ERA and 27:16 K:BB across 36.1 frames since the All-Star break. Miller will start Wednesday's game in Boston.

Mariners' Colt Emerson: Shifted to 60-day injured list
Rotowire
The Mariners transferred Emerson (wrist) from the 10-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Monday.
The transaction frees up a spot on the 40-man roster for the return of Cooper Criswell from the 60-day IL. Emerson underwent season-ending surgery last week to repair a tendon in his left wrist.

Mariners' Nick Davila: Out with sprained shoulder
Rotowire
The Mariners placed Davila on the 15-day injured list Monday with a right SC joint sprain in his shoulder.
Davila had just been recalled from Triple-A Tacoma on Sunday, and he hurt himself in an appearance later that day in the Mariners' 7-0 loss to the Blue Jays. Though he will be eligible for activation in mid-September, the nature of the injury points to Davila being out longer than that, possibly for the rest of the season.

Mariners' Cooper Criswell: Returning from 60-day IL
Rotowire
The Mariners activated Criswell (shoulder) from the 60-day injured list Monday.
Criswell has been shelved since early June with a right shoulder strain, but he's ready to go after making three rehab appearances with Triple-A Tacoma. The veteran swingman will offer length out of the Mariners' bullpen.
