Hitters (Stock Down)

Jarred Kelenic – Kelenic was sent down before the Seattle Mariners left for New York. Prior to his demotion (again), he was 0 for 7 with 1 run scored and 1 walk, and 4 strikeouts. There is much speculation as to why Kelenic was demoted, outside of his poor performance.

Servais and Dipoto announced that some Mariners player(s) would not be accompanying them to Toronto due to vaccination standards. They didn’t mention anyone specifically. Is it possible Kelenic’s demotion is because he’s not vaccinated? It’s unknown. While his bat is a liability, he’s been one of the better defensive outfielders.

Eugenio Suarez – Suarez upped his average from last week, .167 to .200. However, it came at the cost of any power. He got 4 hits, all singles, scoring 2 runs, driving in 1, walking 2 times, committing another error, and striking out 10 times.

Pitchers (Stock Up)

Marco Gonzales – Last season’s opening day starter, Gonzales, reminded Seattle Mariners fans exactly why. The veteran starter went 6.2 innings with 5 strikeouts, leading to a 1.35 ERA and a 1.20 WHIP. Outside of two outings, Marco has been more good than bad. This start puts his name back in the mix for being one of the top two starters in the Seattle Mariners rotation.

S.A.W. – Sergio Romo, Anthony Misiewicz, and Wyatt Mills combined for no runs allowed in 5.2 innings with a pair of strikeouts and 0.25 WHIP (2 hits and 0 walks). They SAWed off opposing hitters.

Paul Sewald – The Seattle Mariners’ best bullpen arm period. He threw 3.2 innings, getting a reliever’s hat trick. He finished the week with 1 win, 1 hold, and 1 save, with 4 strikeouts, and no walks for a 2.45 ERA and 0.27 WHIP. He also let the New York fans know about his performances in the series.
