As the Mariners hit the much-needed off day on Monday, here's how things are looking on the health front.
WASHINGTON D.C. -- The Seattle Mariners just wrapped up a 10-game in 10-day road trip through the East Coast, and the trip certainly took its toll.
Seattle went 4-6 on the trip, falling to 37-36 on the season. They are now just one game up in the American League West as they attempt to win their second consecutive division crown.
But the trip was about more than just the record, it was also about health, or lack thereof. The Mariners lost Matt Brash, JP Crawford, Randy Arozarena, Josh Naylor and Andres Munoz at various times on this trip, which played a critical role in what transpired on the field as well.
As the team hits the off day on Monday, here's what you need to know.
JP Crawford
Crawford, who was injured in the first game of the road trip, taking a fastball from Framber Valdez to the right hand, is expected to be activated when the team resumes play on Tuesday against the Baltimore Orioles.
Crawford was seen hitting, fielding and throwing on the most recent trip to Washington and looked comfortable doing all three.
When he returns, there's a good chance we see him at third base for the first time, as he's said he is willing to move there to allow Colt Emerson to play shortstop.
Matt Brash
Arguably the Mariners most valuable reliever, he was lost after the team's first game in Baltimore to a lat strain. It's the second lat issue for Brash this season and manager Dan Wilson said he's going to be out "a while." How long a while is, we still don't know at the this point.
General manager Justin Hollander will speak on Tuesday before the start of the new homestand. We should get a better picture there.
Randy Arozarena
Arozarena, who is playing like an All-Star at this point, left Friday's win against Washington with a left hamstring issue. He sat out the final two games against Washington, but could return as early as Tuesday.
He was seen in the clubhouse with no wraps, braces or noticeable limps. He looked normal in the clubhouse and the team will hope he's able to play ASAP.
Cal Raleigh
Raleigh has been on the injured list for just over a month now with an oblique strain, but he also appears ready to come back on Tuesday. He played five games at Triple-A Tacoma and one at High-A Everett in his return, blasting five home runs in the process. He had seven total hits, including a single on Sunday for Tacoma.
Josh Naylor
Naylor was removed from the game on Sunday after fouling a ball off his right shin. He was in considerable pain and left the game, with Wilson telling reporters that X-rays checked out negative. It seems as if he was removed more because of the score than any true issue.
He'll hope to be back in the lineup on Tuesday also.
Andres Munoz
Munoz gave up a walk and a double on Sunday, throwing just nine pitches before being removed with "lower back tightness."
Munoz told reporters after the game that it's "nothing to worry about," but I'll worry a little. How long has he been battling this? He hadn't thrown in a game in six days, why is it creeping up now? Does his back contribute to poor outings? There are still plenty of questions here.
The Mariners and Orioles will start a new series on Tuesday at 6:40 p.m. PT.
