PEORIA, Ariz. — The Seattle Mariners still have two more weeks of spring training before beginning the regular season against the Cleveland Guardians on March 26 at T-Mobile Park in Seattle.

Despite Opening Day being just 18 sleeps away, the Mariners are still working through various bumps and bruises.

Here's what you need to know:

Seattle outfielder Victor Robles hasn't played in a Cactus League game since March 1 due to right shoulder fatigue after a play in the outfield. He'll be back in the lineup for the M's against the Milwaukee Brewers at 1:10 p.m. PT on Sunday at American Family Fields of Phoenix in Maryvale, Ariz.

The Mariners plan to have Robles DH several games before sending him back in the outfield. He's scheduled to receive two-to-three at-bats against the Brewers, per Seattle manager Dan Wilson.

Robles is typically a threat to steal extra bags every time he's on-base. Despite his week-long layoff, the Mariners have no plans to limit him in that regard.

"He'll have the green light," Wilson said in a news conference Sunday. "Obviously the legs and stealing bases and how he runs the bases and the aggressiveness is a big part of his game. I think he's ready to go with that, too."

Seattle right-handed starting pitcher Bryce Miller has been out since his first start of the spring against the Cleveland Guardians on Feb. 26 due to an oblique issue.

The Mariners have said the injury isn't a concern but have opted for a cautious approach for the former Texas A&M product as to not run the risk of him re-aggravating it down the line.

Miller has slowly been progressing towards a return and will take another step forward Sunday.

Miller is scheduled for a light "touch-and-go" session (essentially a light, controlled bullpen) before Seattle's game against Milwaukee on Sunday.

"Definitely (excited) to see how that goes," Wilson said. "Seems to be like we've talked about progressing in the way that we had hoped. We'll continue to assess. Today is a big day to see how he reacts to actually getting on the mound how that affects things and then we can begin to plan from there."

Last year, Logan Gilbert was named the Opening Day starter after an All-Star season. This was a shift for Seattle from the last two seasons, where Luis Castillo earned the nod on the first game of the season.

Bryan Woo made the All-Star game in 2025, leading to a question whether the Mariners will have Gilbert get the nod against March 26 or award Woo for his elite year.

Seattle still hasn't made a decision in that regard.

"Still evaluating in some ways," Wilson said. "But I think we're always open to see what happens as we go. Still have two weeks left. We'll just assess as we go. ... Every year has a different nuance to it, I'm sure. You look at all the different things and we'll continue to do that."

Even with players away at the World Baseball Classic, the Mariners' depth has been on display for everyone to see this spring. Whether it been in the bullpen with guys like Jose Ferrer and Cole Wilcox or in the outfield with Brennen Davis, Seattle will have some valuable depth pieces in the minor leagues.

Considering how last season went, with significant injuries to the infield, bullpen and starting rotation, that's a good thing for Seattle to have.

"We've talked about the depth that we have in our organization and I think that is going to bode well for (Triple-A) Tacoma, as well," Wilson said. " ... We're going to have the roster that we have in the 26 (players) that we take with us to Seattle. But, as we all know, it takes that depth to get through a season. Having those guys in Tacoma ready to go is going to be important."
