- The Seattle Mariners have traded RHP Sam Delaplane to the San Francisco Giants in exchange for cash considerations. The San Jose native is currently recovering from Tommy John surgery, and has been optioned to Triple-A Sacramento.
- Prior to yesterday’s game, Jake Fraley was reinstated from the 10-day IL, and infielder Eric Campbell was optioned to Triple-A Tacoma in a corresponding move. Back in the lineup since April 6th, Fraley reached base 3 times yesterday with a walk, single, and double, and made some clutch defensive plays as well.
- Ken Griffey Jr. recently joined the 710 ESPN Seattle broadcast and shared his advice for rookie Jarred Kelenic as he plays through the first few weeks of his MLB career.
Around the League...
- A very impressive start to the Olympic qualifying tournament for Team Canada as they pitch a combined no-hitter against Colombia. Congrats to Ben Onyshko and Brendan McGuigan, two pitchers in the Mariners’ organization, for assisting in the no-hitter!
Team Canada opens its Olympic qualifying tournament in West Palm Beach, Florida with a 7-0 combined no-hitter over Colombia. Andrew Albers is nearly perfect for seven, and an inning each from Brendan McGuigan and Ben Onysho get it done. Jacob Robson drives in three at the dish.
