An off-day for Cal Raleigh, and Jorge Polanco remains out of the lineup. Per Daniel Kramer, there’s no roster move yet, but Jonatan Clase, who wasn’t in Tacoma’s lineup yesterday, is with the team as part of the taxi squad.

Today in Mariners History:

• 1994: 512 fans participate in the inaugural “Buhner Buzz Cut Night”, and to reward them, Jay Buhner scores the winning run in the bottom of the ninth vs. Texas.
• 1999: The Mariners earn their first shutout of the season behind a strong pitching line from Jeff Fassero, who goes eight scoreless innings to help the team complete a sweep of Minnesota.
• 2011: In another brilliant Mariners marketing move, it’s Franklin Gutierrez’s “Death to Flying Things” fly swatter day. Mariners complete a two-game sweep of the Angels as Carlos Peguero walks it off in the ninth when Gold Glover Torii Hunter loses the ball in the sun.
• 2021: Kyle Seager hits his 84^th home run at T-Mobile park, breaking a tie with Nelson Cruz and Raúl Ibañez for most homers at T-Mobile Park.
