Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Logan Evans has been recalled and will take the ball versus the Kansas City Royals on Thursday. The Mariners could use some help in the rotation with Bryce Miller (elbow) still sidelined and Emerson Hancock being optioned to the minors. Evans has been decent this season, posting a 3.38 ERA, 1.33 WHIP, and a 30/12 K/BB ratio across seven starts with the Mariners. This is a favorable spot for Evans against a Royals lineup that has struggled to produce this season. Evans is worth a look as a low-end streaming option for Thursday. In a corresponding move, left-hander Joe Jacques has been optioned to the minors.

The Seattle Mariners recalled rookie right-hander Logan Evans from Triple-A Tacoma and to start on Tuesday on the road against the Arizona Diamondbacks with right-hander Bryce Miller (elbow) going back on the injured list. Right-hander Bryan Woo will be pushed back to Wednesday. This will be Evans' sixth start of his first year in the big leagues. The 24-year-old, who is considered the team's No. 10 prospect per MLB Pipeline, has struck out only 25 hitters in 35 innings of work in his six starts, but he's only allowed 11 earned runs and walked 10 while going 3-1. Fantasy managers shouldn't expect him to stick around in Seattle's starting rotation beyond one start, though, with Logan Gilbert (elbow) potentially returning from the IL next week. Evans will be a pretty risky fantasy streamer on Tuesday night against a strong D-backs offense.

Seattle Mariners right-handed pitching prospect Logan Evans tossed eight innings of one-run ball on Tuesday evening en route to picking up his third victory of the campaign, against the Washington Nationals. In this outing, Evans allowed just four hits and held a 4:1 K:BB. His lone blemish came on a solo shot by Washington outfielder James Wood, which was his 14th long ball of the campaign. Evans was promoted from Triple-A to fill a spot in the rotation with both Logan Gilbert (elbow) and Bryce Miller (elbow) on the injured list. Through his first 35 innings in Seattle, their No. 10-ranked prospect has posted an impressive 2.83 ERA with a 1.26 WHIP. He has struck out 25 batters and allowed 10 free passes. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status as he could be in danger of losing his spot in the rotation with Miller expected to return this weekend.

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Logan Evans will take the mound for his MLB debut against the Miami Marlins on Sunday. Evans is one of the top pitching prospects in the Mariners system, so there is plenty of hype surrounding him. He posted a 3.86 ERA, 1.24 WHIP, and 23/4 K/BB ratio across five starts in Triple-A this season. Before those five outings, Evans had only pitched as high as Double-A, but it appears the Mariners believe he's ready for the big leagues. He'll get a favorable matchup against the Marlins offense on Sunday. That being said, Evans is worth a look as a streaming choice against Miami. He could very well stick in the rotation for a few weeks with Logan Gilbert (elbow) heading to the injured list.

Seattle Mariners pitching prospect Logan Evans was named Pacific Coast League Pitcher of the Week. He enjoyed an impressive outing on April 9 when he shut down the Sacramento River Cats. He tossed six innings of one-run ball. He allowed just two hits, with no walks, and struck out seven. This was a much-needed bounce-back outing for Evans as he allowed five runs and eight hits across five innings of work in his previous start. Last summer, the 23-year-old spent his entire campaign with Double-A Arkansas and held a 3.20 ERA with a 1.18 WHIP across 107 innings of work. He struck out 98 batters and served up 42 free passes. Fantasy managers should contribute to monitoring the Pittsburgh product's development at Triple-A, as he could be in the mix for a second-half MLB debut.
