Mastrobuoni’s injury adds a layer of lineup complexity. His absence could shift bench usage and late-inning defense, affecting how Seattle deploys its bullpen and reserves for this game.

Miles Mastrobuoni, now with the Mariners after being traded from the Cubs, has struggled offensively with a career batting average of .219 and hit just .194 in 2024. At 29, he is expected to compete for playing time at second and third base, filling a need for the Mariners as they look for infield depth. His left-handed hitting could provide additional lineup flexibility for manager Dan Wilson.
