Robles went 4-for-4 with a stolen base and two runs scored in Monday's 8-0 win over the Reds.
Robles had gone just 4-for-27 over his first 13 games in July before doubling his hit total for the month with this performance. All of his knocks Monday were singles. Robles remains in a short-side platoon role for now, though his best chance at playing time would come be challenging the struggling Luke Raley. Robles is batting .240 with a .555 OPS, no home runs, five RBI, 10 runs scored, three doubles and seven stolen bases over 113 plate appearances this season.

Mariners' Cal Raleigh: Launches grand slam Monday
Rotowire
Raleigh went 1-for-5 with a grand slam and a fifth RBI in Monday's 8-0 win over the Reds.
Raleigh put a big bow on the Mariners' seventh-inning rally, and he knocked in another run in the eighth. The catcher had come out of the All-Star break cold, going 0-for-10 during the Mariners' three-game series versus the Giants over the weekend. He's still batting just .163 with a .573 OPS, 10 homers, 34 RBI, 24 runs scored, seven doubles and two stolen bases over 69 contests this year.

Mariners' Julio Rodriguez: Removed as precaution
Rotowire
The Mariners pulled Rodriguez from Monday's game against the Reds as a precaution, Tim Booth of The Seattle Times reports.
Manager Dan Wilson stated after the game that the team isn't overly concerned about a potential strain, but Wilson did want to get Rodriguez out of the game after he was hit by the throw from shortstop. The star center fielder can be considered day-to-day leading up to the second game of the series Tuesday.

Mariners' Julio Rodriguez: Pulled from Monday's matchup
Rotowire
Rodriguez was removed during the sixth inning of Monday's game against the Reds for an unspecified reason, Adam Jude of The Seattle Times reports.
Rodriguez was struck by an errant throw on a play at first base in the bottom of the fifth inning and looked to grabbing at his left hamstring, per Jude, but the team has yet to provide an official update. Weston Wilson was deployed in right field and Victor Robles was bumped over to center in Rodriguez's place.

Mariners' J.P. Crawford: Scratched from Monday's lineup
Rotowire
Crawford (undisclosed) was scratched from Monday's lineup against the Reds, Adam Jude of The Seattle Times reports.
Colt Emerson was initially scheduled for an off-day, but he will now start at shortstop for the Mariners and bat ninth. It's unclear why Crawford was removed from the lineup, but Seattle could provide an update on the veteran shortstop before or during Monday's game.
Celesten was promoted to Double-A Arkansas on Sunday, Adam Jude of The Seattle Times reports.
Celesten will move up a level in the Mariners' minor-league system after he posted a .314 average with 13 home runs, 52 RBI, 64 runs scored and 18 stolen bases over 309 at-bats in 80 contests with High-A Everett so far this year. The 20-year-old is considered to be one of Seattle's top overall prospects, and he'll look to maintain his impressive level of production with Arkansas.
Naylor went 2-for-4 with one RBI, one stolen base and one run scored in Sunday's 6-3 win over the Giants.
Naylor saw his nine-game hitting streak snapped Saturday, but he responded with his first multi-hit effort since June 30. The first baseman has picked up four steals on five attempts in July and is now 19-for-23 on the basepaths this season. He's batting .253 with a .671 OPS, eight home runs, 37 RBI, 37 runs scored and 12 doubles over 93 games.

Mariners' Luke Raley: Hits go-ahead homer
Rotowire
Raley went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in Sunday's 6-3 win over the Giants.
Raley came off the bench for Weston Wilson in the sixth inning and delivered a go-ahead homer. Raley had gone 21 games without a long ball, batting just .164 with three RBI and a 3:20 BB:K in that span. He's hitting .230 with a .746 OPS, 15 homers, 37 RBI, 26 runs scored, one stolen base, nine doubles and a triple over 85 contests. The recent downward trend could lead to him becoming a bench bat if he doesn't turn things around, though he should still see a decent amount of time against right-handed pitchers as a left-handed hitter.

Mariners' Cole Young: Homers again in Sunday's win
Rotowire
Young went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and a second run scored in Sunday's 6-3 win over the Giants.
This was Young's second consecutive multi-hit effort, both of which have included a homer. The second baseman has 13 long balls on the year, including four over his last nine contests. He's now batting .256 with a .724 OPS, 48 RBI, 48 runs scored, three stolen bases, 14 doubles and a triple over 100 games this season. Young batted third Sunday against southpaw Robbie Ray, and the 22-year-old infielder could stick higher in the order if he sustains his momentum.

Mariners' Andres Munoz: Perfect for save Sunday
Rotowire
Munoz struck out two in a perfect inning to earn the save in Sunday's 6-3 win over the Giants.
This was Munoz's first save since July 2, in part due to the Mariners stumbling into the All-Star break. He's on a 12-inning scoreless streak, in which he has posted an 18:4 K:BB. Munoz is up to 17 saves in 22 chances this season while pitching to a 3.96 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 55:15 K:BB through 36.1 innings.

Mariners' Logan Gilbert: Strikes out 10 in win
Rotowire
Gilbert (8-6) allowed three runs on four hits and a walk while striking out 10 over six innings to earn the win over the Giants on Sunday.
Gilbert has gone at least six innings in seven consecutive starts, allowing 14 runs over 46.1 innings with a 52:8 K:BB in that span. The right-hander allowed an early home run to Bryce Eldridge in the first inning and another run before the frame was over, but Gilbert was able to settle in. For the season, he now has a 3.38 ERA, 0.98 WHIP and 129:25 K:BB through 120 innings over 20 starts. Gilbert's next outing is projected to be on the road versus the Rangers.
Young went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run in a 4-3, extra-inning win over the Giants on Saturday.
Logan Webb dominated Seattle for six scoreless innings, giving up only one hit (a single by Young). However, the Giants' ace gifted the Mariners an opportunity when he walked a batter and hit another in the seventh frame, and Young made him pay with a game-tying, two-out, three-run blast to right-center field. It was the second baseman's 12th long ball of the season and pushed him into the Seattle lead with 46 runs batted in. The RBI total also ranks fifth among MLB second basemen.

Mariners' Bryan Woo: Fans seven in no-decision
Rotowire
Woo allowed three runs (two earned) on six hits and two walks while striking out seven batters over six innings in a no-decision versus San Francisco on Saturday.
Woo allowed just one run over his initial five frames but then surrendered a pair of solo homers in the sixth. He was down 3-0 when he departed, but a late Seattle rally took him off the hook for the loss. While Woo wasn't able to nab his eighth victory, he did record his 11th quality start of the season while displaying good swing-and-miss stuff with 14 whiffs. He's lined up to make his next start on the road against the Rangers.
