The ace of the Seattle Mariners starting rotation will officially make his return from injury. Mariners starting pitcher Logan Gilbert will take the mound during the team's series opening against the Boston Red Sox at 6:40 p.

Health was once a hallmark for the Mariners. Now call-ups have become their calling card, with key contributions from a few unexpected players.

Just a few weeks after returning from a torn ACL, touted Seattle Mariners outfield prospect Jonny Farmelo was dealt another injury setback.

Cade Smith was oh, so close to a scary injury after narrowly escaping from a 106.6 mph line drive hit directly back at him on Friday night.

If this Mariners season ends up taking the same course as the past few have, the club’s playoff hopes will likely be decided in the final week or two. It’s an “every little thing matters” situation — something that doesn’t necessarily apply to MLB titans such as the Yankees or Dodgers.
