The Mariners claimed McCray off waivers from the Giants on Thursday, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
McCray logged just 11 hits in 77 MLB at-bats this season, but the Mariners will take a flier on him and add him to their 40-man roster to begin the offseason. The 25-year-old outfielder posted a .708 OPS in 244 plate appearances at Triple-A in 2026 and will likely spend most of next season in the minors as well.

Mariners' Bryce Miller: Still with Seattle after declined option
Rotowire
The Mariners declined Miller's $6.075 million club option for 2027 on Thursday.
Miller remains under team control through 2029, but the Mariners expect to be able to lock him in at a cheaper cost for 2027 via the arbitration process. The 28-year-old right-hander had an up-and-down 2026 campaign, finishing with a 4.17 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 119:38 K:BB across 118.2 innings.

Mariners' Andres Munoz: Club option for 2027 exercised
Rotowire
The Mariners exercised Munoz's $9 million club option for 2027 on Thursday.
Munoz had a disappointing 2026 season by his standards, posting a 4.24 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 89:24 K:BB over 57.1 innings. However, he's still a bargain at that price, and the Mariners will have another club option on Munoz for 2028. Munoz boasts a career 34.4 percent strikeout rate, and he'll be in line to serve as closer for Seattle again in 2027.
Naylor underwent surgery Saturday to repair the triangular fibrocartilage complex in his right wrist.
Naylor first hurt his wrist in early August, and he went homerless in his final 41 games after the injury. The Mariners anticipate Naylor being fully recovered before the start of spring training. Naylor will be looking to bounce back offensively for Seattle in 2027 after finishing with just a .667 OPS and 10 long balls this season, though he kept his fantasy value afloat by stealing 30 bases for the second year in a row.

Mariners' Cal Raleigh: AC joint surgery on shoulder
Rotowire
Raleigh underwent debridement surgery Saturday on the AC joint in his left shoulder.
He is expected to be fully recovered from the operation by the beginning of spring training. It's unclear how much the shoulder issue might have affected him, but Raleigh experienced a massive downturn in production from his historic 2025 season to 2026, dipping 284 points in OPS (.948 to .664) and dropping from 60 home runs to 23 long balls. With health, Raleigh should bounce back to some degree in 2027.

Mariners' Michael Toglia: Claimed by Mariners
Rotowire
The Mariners claimed Toglia (shoulder) off waivers from the Reds on Friday.
Toglia is recovering from late August surgery to repair a torn labrum in his right shoulder, but the Mariners felt he was worthy of a waiver claim even though he'll spend the next few months rehabbing. The 28-year-old was dreadful in limited action for the Reds in 2026, going 3-for-26 with 12 strikeouts.
Raleigh went 3-for-5 with one RBI in Sunday's 7-3 win over the Angels.
Raleigh largely struggled in 2026, though he showed some signs of a turnaround late in the season. He hit .229 (19-for-83) over 22 contests in September, lifting his average for the season to .182. Raleigh added a .664 OPS, 23 home runs, 69 RBI, 49 runs scored, 15 doubles and two stolen bases over 126 contests. He failed to live up to expectations this year, but he should benefit from positive regression next season.

Mariners' Logan Gilbert: Shines in abbreviated start Sunday
Rotowire
Gilbert walked one over four-plus scoreless and hitless innings while striking out eight in a no-decision versus the Angels on Sunday.
The Mariners clearly didn't want to push Gilbert too much in a meaningless game, pulling him after he walked Moises Ballesteros to open the fifth inning, ending his chance at a perfect game. Gilbert managed just six scoreless outings this season, and just two of them came after the All-Star break as he struggled down the stretch. He ends 2026 with a 12-11 record, 3.73 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 205:49 K:BB through 186 innings over 32 starts.
Arroyo went 3-for-5 with a run scored in Saturday's 8-4 win over the Angels.
This is Arroyo's second multi-hit effort in a row and his fourth overall. The 21-year-old is now batting .353 over 14 games in the majors, adding one home run, two stolen bases, four RBI and five runs scored. Arroyo's plate discipline is already evident -- he has a 5:6 BB:K, and that should help him as he tries to make a full-time adjustment to the majors moving forward.
