In terms of lineup news, the Mariners are bolstered by the return of J.P. Crawford and Cal Raleigh. However, they are still contending with several injuries, leaving the team somewhat fragmented as they prepare for tonight's contest.

As for roster changes, the injury situation remains complex: Naylor and Raley are both listed as day-to-day, while Randy has been placed on the 10-day injured list. In a move to adjust their roster, Wisdom and Pereda have been sent down. Meanwhile, the Orioles have reinstated pitcher Ryan Helsley from the injured list, sending RHP Anthony Nunez down to Triple-A in a corresponding move.

In other news, Dan Wilson announced that the Mariners will revert to a piggyback pitching strategy leading up to the All-Star Break, a decision that could impact their performance in the coming games.
