The 31-year-old southpaw is getting close to being ready to make his 2022 season debut with the Mariners, where he'll provide Seattle's bullpen with a valuable and experienced relief arm. Boyd has now made five rehab appearances for Tacoma and has allowed two earned runs and four hits while walking none and striking out 12 in seven innings pitched. Seattle Mariners left-hander Matthew Boyd (elbow) tossed a scoreless and hitless inning in his latest minor league rehab outing for Triple-A Tacoma on Friday night, walking none and striking out two. He'll have to perform at an MVP-type level for multiple seasons in order to hit the maximum value of his contract, but Seattle fans have to be ecstatic that they've locked up one of the best young stars in the game. 267/.326/.467 with 20 home runs, 64 RBI, 64 runs scored and 23 stolen bases in his first 424 at-bats. The 21-year-old All-Star has been worth the hype and then some in his first MLB season, hitting. ESPN's Jeff Passan reported on Friday that Rodriguez's deal had a baseline of eight years for $120 million and a maximum value of $470 million. Seattle Mariners rookie outfielder Julio Rodriguez agreed to a long-term contract extension with the team on Friday that includes 12 guaranteed years through the 2034 season and options that could run through the 2039 season. 828 OPS, four home runs, 15 RBI, 22 runs scored and 10 stolen bases in only 119 at-bats. The 28-year-old has been solid in limited playing time this year, hitting. For now, he should be considered day-to-day, but it would be a surprise to see him in the lineup on Saturday. Before leaving the game, Haggerty went 0-for-3 with three strikeouts, so all in all it was a pretty rough game for him. He was in quite a bit of pain and was replaced in right field by Dylan Moore to start the ninth frame.

Seattle Mariners outfielder Sam Haggerty (finger) left the game early on Friday against the Cleveland Guardians after taking a pitch off his fingers on a sacrifice bunt attempt in the eighth inning. Boyd will be a nice real-life piece of the bullpen with plenty of experience, but he's not really on the fantasy radar to close out the season. The good news is he fanned 14 in eight innings on his minor league rehab assignment, so he appears to be fully healthy and ready to go. The 31-year-old left-hander had flexor tendon surgery last September and has been working his way back to the majors ever since. Boyd will work exclusively in relief for the Mariners as he makes his 2022 debut in the big leagues. The Seattle Mariners reinstated relief pitcher Matthew Boyd (elbow) from the 60-day injured list on Thursday and recalled outfielder Taylor Trammell from Triple-A Tacoma with rosters expanding. 256/.335/.350 with five home runs, 33 RBI, 50 runs scored and three stolen bases in his 426 at-bats for the M's. Crawford is happy to see the calendar flip to September, as he went 17-for-78 (.218) with no home runs, six RBI, five runs scored and 10 strikeouts in 24 games in August.
MARINERS TRANSACTIONS SERIES
Adam Frazier will move back to the keystone for the series finale against Detroit. Crawford will return after missing the last three games with a pectoral injury. Crawford (pectoral) is back at shortstop and is hitting sixth on Thursday against the Detroit Tigers and left-hander Eduardo Rodriguez.
