April 28: UTIL Sam Haggerty to be recalled from Triple-A Tacoma; OF Jonatan Clase to be optioned
The Mariners will make a roster move ahead of Monday's series opener against Atlanta, which will bring the utilityman Haggerty up and send their No. 10 prospect by MLB Pipeline back to the Minors, according to a source.

Haggerty, who missed a chunk of Spring Training then began the season on the injured list with a medical issue, has hit .333/.412/.367 (.779 OPS) in 69 plate appearances over 16 games with the Rainiers.

Clase, who was recalled when Dominic Canzone was placed on the IL two weeks ago, went 5-for-24 in eight games, for a slash line of .208/.240/.250 (.490 OPS). He began experiencing diminished playing time over the past week, which was part of the calculus in the transaction, to ensure he gets consistent at-bats.

April 28: SS J.P. Crawford (right oblique) feeling better
Just four days after suffering a Grade 1 oblique strain, Seattle's shortstop was on the field before Sunday's series finale against Arizona, taking a few ground balls with infield coach Perry Hill and lightly jogging in the outfield. Crawford said in passing that he was feeling much better than just a few days ago, when he said it was painful to cough, sit or make any general movements. The Mariners believe that his timeline is still a matter of multiple weeks, but Sunday's showing was still as good of a sign as could be.

April 27: RHP Bryan Woo goes 3 1/3 scoreless innings in 2nd rehab start
The second-year starter threw 49 pitches (31 strikes) in his second rehab start with Triple-A Tacoma -- under his target of 55-60 going into the outing -- and allowed two hits while striking out six of the 12 batters he faced. He threw all five of his pitches, and topped out at 95 mph.

Through two starts with the Rainiers, Woo has not allowed a run in 6 1/3 innings, striking out 11.

According to general manager Justin Hollander, the plan is for Woo to make at least one more rehab start, with the goal of getting up to 85 pitches, before he is reevaluating.

April 27: RHP Matt Brash (right elbow inflammation) shut down indefinitely
Brash's road to recovery halted when he felt discomfort after throwing on Friday at T-Mobile Park, one day before he was slated to begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Tacoma.

“He threw and did not feel good at all,” Mariners general manager Justin Hollander said. “I think his words were ‘Every throw felt bad.’ We met with our physician last night and we are concerned.”

Brash, who’s since returned to Arizona, is awaiting a follow-up appointment with Dr. Keith Meister in Texas, the renowned orthopedist with whom he initially met with in March. More >>

10-DAY/15-DAY INJURED LIST

RHP Bryan Woo (right elbow inflammation)
Expected return: mid-May
Woo made his second rehab start with Triple-A Tacoma on April 27, throwing 49 pitches to get through 3 1/3 innings and striking out six. In his first start with the Rainiers on April 21, he threw three perfect innings, striking out five on 35 pitches (25 strikes). He opened the season on the 15-day injured list after he couldn’t get loose during his last bullpen session and had to cut it short. He had yet to pitch more than four innings in a start during Spring Training. (Last updated: April 27)

RHP Matt Brash (right elbow inflammation)
Expected return: TBD
Brash was shut down again on April 27 -- the day before he was set to begin his rehab assignment -- after experiencing another setback while throwing in Seattle. General manager Justin Hollander said the right-hander will visit with Dr. Keith Meister for a second time to determine a further course of action. Brash began experiencing soreness in his elbow after throwing two bullpen sessions to begin Spring Training, but he received initial word from Meister that he wouldn’t need surgery.

SS J.P. Crawford (right oblique strain)
Expected return: Weeks
Crawford sustained the injury when taking what he described as an "awkward" swing during the late rounds of batting practice on April 24, after which an MRI revealed a Grade 1 severity. When the Mariners opened up their homestand on April 26, general manager Justin Hollander didn't have any estimates on Crawford's return beyond it not being a "10 days and activate sort of thing," and that further updates should come in a week.

OF Dominic Canzone (left AC joint sprain)
Expected return: mid-May at the earliest
Canzone, who had to leave Seattle's April 14 game against the Cubs after crashing into the left-field wall while making a remarkable catch, has begun a throwing and jogging routine, with the plan to begin a hitting program next week. If all goes well, GM Justin Hollander said on April 26 that he estimates Canzone is two to three weeks out from full baseball activities. (Last updated: April 26)

RHP Eduard Bazardo (right shoulder soreness)
Expected return: mid-May
Bazardo began a rehab assignment with Triple-A Tacoma on April 23, throwing a scoreless seventh inning. Bazardo missed all of Spring Training with a rotator cuff strain, but he resumed throwing and the Mariners are hopeful that he'll return to game action near the end of April. Bazardo initially suffered the injury in a side session prior to arriving for physicals in Arizona. (Last updated: April 25)

60-DAY INJURED LIST

RHP Gregory Santos (right lat strain)
Expected return: late May at the earliest
Santos was transferred to the 60-day IL on April 25, but Mariners general manager Justin Hollander said that the transaction didn't impact the reliever's timeline, as they already expected him to be sidelined that long and to get him back close to when he's eligible. By April 26, he had begun throwing at 120 feet, with the goal to do that for another week before increasing intensity. Santos initially experienced shoulder soreness at the start of Spring Training and was set back by a lat strain during a bullpen session while ramping back up. (Last updated: April 26)

RHP Jackson Kowar (right UCL surgery)
Expected return: 2025
Kowar was transferred to the 60-day IL shortly after receiving word that he'll need to undergo Tommy John surgery, which ends his season before it even began. The former first-round Draft pick was among the leading candidates to win a bullpen spot before suffering the injury in his second Cactus League outing. (Last updated: March 10)
