Seattle Mariners outfielder Randy Arozarena (hamstring) has returned to the starting lineup for Tuesday's contest in Sacramento against the division-rival Athletics and left-hander Jeffrey Springs, serving as the designated hitter while batting cleanup. Arozarena left Sunday's game against the Texas Rangers early with a tweaked hamstring, but he'll be back on Tuesday after missing the series opener on Monday against the A's. Miles Mastrobuoni is starting in left field and batting ninth for the M's. The 30-year-old Arozarena has hit just .224 (26-for-116) this year but has delivered five home runs, 18 RBI, 16 runs scored and eight stolen bases in his first 32 games. He has faced the lefty Springs four times in his career and has one hit. Arozarena has been better against lefties this year, going 10-for-38 with two of his three home runs against them.

Seattle Mariners outfielder Randy Arozarena (hamstring) is absent from the starting lineup for Monday's series opener in Sacramento against the division-rival Athletics. Miles Mastrobuoni is starting in left field and will hit sixth, while Rhylan Thomas is manning right field and batting out of the nine-hole against A's right-hander Luis Severino. A hamstring forced Arozarena from Sunday's game early against the Texas Rangers, so fantasy managers shouldn't be all that surprised that he's out on Monday. The good news is that the 30-year-old veteran is expected to be back for the second game of the series on Tuesday. Arozarena is hitting just .224 (26-for-116) on the year with five homers, 18 RBI, eight steals and 16 runs scored, but he's gone 10-for-33 (.303) with a homer, RBI and two steals in nine games since April 23 and is on a modest four-game hitting streak.

Seattle Mariners outfielder Randy Arozarena (hamstring) was forced to exit early during Sunday's game against the Texas Rangers. Arozarena was pulled out of the contest in the sixth inning due to a hamstring issue, according to manager Dan Wilson. Before exiting, Arozarena went 1-for-3 with a single. He was replaced by Rhylan Thomas who could see more playing time if Arozarena misses time from this issue. It's worth noting the Mariners were getting crushed in this game, so maybe Arozarena's departure was purely precautionary. Fantasy managers will need to check back on Monday to see if Arozarena is back in the lineup.

Seattle Mariners outfielder Randy Arozarena smashed a solo home run in the second inning of the Mariners' 9-3 home win over the Angels on Wednesday. He went 2-for-4 with two runs scored and two strikeouts. After a slow start to the season, Arozarena's batting average is on the rise, although it's still just .208 on the season. Over his last 12 games, he has gone 12-for-47 (.255) with two doubles, two home runs, and a .372 wOBA. In addition to his power, Arozarena brings some stolen base potential with three thefts in those 12 games, and he is a perfect 8-for-8 in stolen base attempts on the season. He and the Mariners are on the road in Texas for a divisional series against the Rangers this weekend, and Arozarena can continue to be deployed as he normally would be now that he's back on track.

Seattle Mariners outfielder Randy Arozarena is getting his first game off of the season for Friday's series opener against the visiting Miami Marlins at T-Mobile Park. With Arozarena out, Miles Mastrobuoni will man left field in Seattle and bat seventh against Marlins right-hander Cal Quantrill. In his first 25 games of his first season with the M's, Arozarena has gone 18-for-90 (.200) with four home runs, six doubles, 17 RBI, a league-leading eight stolen bases, 11 runs scored, 19 walks and 31 strikeouts. It's a good time for the 30-year-old to get his first breather of the year, as he's gone 4-for-24 (.167) with three walks and 12 K's in his last six games. Arozarena isn't going to provide fantasy managers with help in the average department, but his power/speed combination remains valuable in all formats. Mastrobuoni has never faced Quantrill and is hitting .258 (8-for-31) in the early going with no homers and no RBI.

Seattle Mariners outfielder Randy Arozarena was the hero for his team during Thursday's game against the Cincinnati Reds. Arozarena tied the game with a home run off right-hander Emilio Pagan in the ninth inning. He would later hit a two-run single in the 10th inning to help extend the lead to 10-7. That would be enough as the Mariners were able to take this game 11-7 in 10 innings. Arozarena finished his day 2-for-4 with a double, homer, 3 RBI, and two walks in the victory. His slash line isn't pretty, but Arozarena is heating up with five hits over his last three games.

Seattle Mariners outfielder Randy Arozarena had a huge game and was the primary catalyst for the team's 7-6 comeback win over the division-rival Houston Astros at T-Mobile Park on Wednesday. Arozarena did it all for the M's in this one, going 2-for-5 with a grand slam and a walk in the bottom of the ninth inning to walk the Astros off with the bases loaded and two outs. The 30-year-old veteran finished the game with five RBI, a run scored and two walks to raise his season average to .191 and his OPS to .801. The Cuban slugger came into Wednesday's game hitting just .159 (7-for-44) but with two home runs and three doubles in his first 12 games of 2025. While Arozarena still has plenty of power/speed potential, his move to Seattle late last year wasn't great for fantasy purposes. He has produced four straight 20-20 seasons, but don't expect much help in the average department.

Seattle Mariners outfielder Randy Arozarena connected on a solo home run in the second inning, which started Seattle's comeback against Detroit that ultimately fell just short. Arozarena's second homer of the season came in his first at-bat of the game, and he later added a walk in the third inning and a double in the seventh inning. The Mariners trailed 6-0 before they even came to the plate on Monday and came back to make it close before losing, 9-6. Arozarena is 3-for-16 (.188) after his two hits on Monday, with four walks and six strikeouts. Since each of his hits have been for extra bases, he has a .438 ISO and .405 wOBA despite his low batting average.

According to Mark Feinsand of MLB.com, the Seattle Mariners and outfielder Randy Arozarena have agreed on a one-year contract worth $11.3 million to avoid arbitration. Arozarena opened the 2024 campaign with the Tampa Bay Rays but was eventually shipped to Seattle during the second half. The outfielder had a down year to his standards as he held a .219/.332/.388 line across 154 games. This was a stark drop to the .254/.364/.425 line he held during the 2023 campaign. However, he did hit 20 home runs and swiped 20 bags. Under the hood, he generated a solid 43.5% hard-hit rate but struggled at the plate with a hefty 29.7% whiff rate and a 26.1% K rate, which were both significantly below the average marks. Fantasy managers should expect Arozarena to operate as the everyday left fielder in Seattle in 2025.

Seattle Mariners outfielder Randy Arozarena and shortstop J.P. Crawford are both taking the day off on Thursday in the series finale against the division-rival Oakland Athletics at the Oakland Coliseum. Victor Robles will start in left field and bat leadoff, while Leo Rivas will make the start at the 6 and bat ninth against A's right-hander Joey Estes. This will be just Arozarena's second day off with Seattle since they acquired him at the end of July from the Rays. He's been a bit better in Seattle than he was in Tampa earlier this year, batting .238 (29-for-122) with three homers and 12 RBI in his 34 games played. Crawford, meanwhile, has a hit in each of his last two games but has gone 2-for-24 with five strikeouts in seven games since returning from an IL stint on Aug. 28. Robles has been a new hitter since joining the M's and will be a nice sleeper target in DFS in the leadoff spot on Thursday.

Seattle Mariners outfielder Randy Arozarena put together a strong revenge game in Wednesday afternoon's win over the visiting Tampa Bay Rays at T-Mobile Park, putting up three hits and a home run in the victory. Arozarena sent a solo homer over the wall in center field to extend the Mariners' lead to 6-2 in the eighth inning on Wednesday against the Rays. The streaky 29-year-old left fielder has been more of the same since landing in Seattle, but overall, he's slashing an improved .242/.385/.394 with three big flies, 10 RBI, 20 runs scored, and four stolen bases through 99 at-bats (28 games) with the M's. His fantasy upside the rest of the way will remain capped, however, by a pitcher-friendly home ballpark and a poor Seattle lineup.

Seattle Mariners outfielder Randy Arozarena's three-run homer in Monday's 5-1 win over the Tampa Bay Rays was his first in August and only his second since being traded by the Rays on July 26. Arozarena's home run was his only hit in three at-bats. He is hitting .213/.331/.385 with 17 homers, 46 RBI, and 63 runs scored along with 20 stolen bases in 28 attempts. Arozarena's power-speed combination and modest OBP keep him in most lineups. However, fantasy managers find it harder to justify having him in their lineups during the worst season of his career.

Seattle Mariners outfielder Randy Arozarena will head to the bench for Sunday's series finale against the Pittsburgh Pirates at PNC Park as the Mariners look to avoid a three-game sweep. Arozarena was beginning to pick things up offensively early in the second half of the season before he was traded to the Mariners at the deadline in late July, but the 29-year-old slugger has fallen on hard times again. He could use the day off after striking out in all five of his at-bats in Saturday's loss. Luke Raley is getting the start in left field for the M's and will bat cleanup, with Justin Turner playing first base and hitting sixth against Pirates right-hander Jake Woodford. Since joining Seattle on July 27, Arozarena has hit .239 (16-for-67) with a homer, five doubles, five RBI and 25 strikeouts in 83 plate appearances over 19 games played. He's also gone hitless over his last four games in 15 at-bats with 10 strikeouts. It's been a tough year for Arozarena and his fantasy managers.

Seattle Mariners outfielder Randy Arozarena (undisclosed) is back in the starting lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the Boston Red Sox. The 29-year-old slugger was removed from Monday's game due to an undisclosed issue after running into the left-field wall. To be fair, the game was already a blowout, so the Mariners had little incentive to leave their newly acquired slugger in the game. Arozarena has five hits in 11 at-bats with his new team. He'll bat second and play left field versus left-hander James Paxton on Tuesday. Get Arozarena back into your starting lineups.

Seattle Mariners outfielder Randy Arozarena will bat second in the order in his Mariners debut on Saturday night against the Chicago White Sox. Arozarena was acquired via trade by the Mariners late on Thursday night. He'll face off against White Sox starter Erick Fedde, who he has only seen once in his career and is 0-1 against. With injuries to two key parts of the Mariners' lineup (J.P. Crawford and Julio Rodriguez) Arozarena will be asked to carry a heavy load until they are back. With a .318 wOBA and a .338 xwOBA during his time in Tampa, the 29-year-old is due for positive regression. Fantasy managers should not hesitate to keep the right-hander active in their lineup as he should see positive results coming his way shortly.

Newly acquired outfielder Randy Arozarena is expected to report to the Seattle Mariners to make his debut with the team on Saturday on the road in Chicago against the White Sox and right-hander Erick Fedde. In an effort to boost their struggling offense, especially after losing both outfielder Julio Rodriguez (ankle) and shortstop J.P. Crawford (finger) to injuries this week, the Mariners acquired Arozarena from the Tampa Bay Rays on Friday night in exchange for outfield prospect Aidan Smith, pitching prospect Brody Hopkins and a player to be named later. Arozarena, was having a pretty disappointing season in Tampa before the trade, hitting just .211 (74-for-350) but with 15 homers, 37 RBI and 16 stolen bases. The Cuban outfielder has picked things up in July, though, going 19-for-69 (.275) with four homers, seven doubles, nine RBI and six steals in 19 games, so the M's are hoping he can keep that up now that he'll be joining their roster.

The Seattle Mariners have acquired outfielder Randy Arozarena from the Tampa Bay Rays in exchange for outfield prospect Aidan Smith, pitching prospect Brody Hopkins, and a player to be named later. Smith is the Mariners' 12th ranked prospect according to MLB Pipeline, while Hopkins ranks 22nd in their system. Arozarena should provide an immediate boost to a Mariners lineup that is in desperate need of it. The 29-year-old is having a down year, but he has been good since June, hitting .290 with seven homers and nine steals. His fantasy value shouldn't change much going from Tampa to Seattle, but he remains a must-start outfielder in all formats.

The Los Angeles Dodgers are hoping to add an impact bat in the outfield prior to the trade deadline next Tuesday, July 30, and they "are in on Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Randy Arozarena," according to a source. Arozarena is having a down year overall in 2024 but has heated up since the beginning of June. Entering play on Tuesday, he had a .906 OPS with seven home runs since June 1 and has been looking more like the player who won American League Rookie of the Year honors in 2021 and an All-Star selection last year. The 29-year-old is earning $8.1 million in 2024 and is arbitration-eligible for two more years. Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert Jr. is also drawing interest from the Dodgers. He's signed for $15 million in 2025 with $20 million club options for both 2026 and 2027. The asking price on Robert is quite high.

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Randy Arozarena homered twice while knocking in three runs in a 9-1 victory over the New York Yankees on Saturday. The veteran is now hitting .212 with 14 home runs, 34 RBI, 14 stolen bases and 41 runs scored in 388 plate appearances. His first homer came off starter Nestor Cortes, and his second homer was off reliever Josh Maciejewski. Arozarena finished the day with four hits and two runs scored as well. If Tampa is to make a push for a playoff berth, they will need the veteran Arozarena to hit better in the second half.

The Tampa Bay Rays will listen to trade offers on outfielder Randy Arozarena, first baseman Yandy Diaz and third baseman Isaac Paredes in the right deal with the July 30 deadline quickly approaching. According to sources, the Rays and Seattle Mariners have yet to engage in serious dialogue about Seattle's interest in adding an impact bat this summer, but the two teams are frequent trading partners and talks could advance in the coming days as the second half of the 2024 season gets underway. It's just speculation right now, but it's something to keep an eye on. Arozarena, a first-time All-Star last year, has tanked in 2024 and is heading into the second half hitting just .202 (66-for-326), although he does have 12 homers, 31 RBI and 14 stolen bases in 93 games. A change of scenery to a contender could get him back on track in the second half.
