Player Outlook
Mitch Garver rebounded from an injury-riddled 2022 season with a productive campaign, posting a 138 wRC+, the third highest of his career. Garver played in 87 games, the most since 2019, but he missed just over one-third of the season after hurting his knee in early April. When healthy, Garver was the everyday designated hitter, mixing in 27 games behind the plate. Garver's success in the batter's box was fully supported by his underlying metrics, which bodes well for continuing to log playing time at designated hitter. Garver has never been known for his defensive prowess, so it's not a surprise the metrics were not kind to him in his limited time defensively. Even so, Garver regained catcher eligibility and at least for the upcoming season, he's borderline useful in single-catcher formats and a solid option in two catcher leagues. He will work as Cal Raleigh's backup and the Mariners' top option at designated hitter when healthy, after signing a two-year deal with Seattle this winter.

  • Mariners' Mitch Garver: Losing playing time

    Rotowire
    Garver is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Angels. Garver is in the midst of a rough stretch at the plate, having gone hitless with eight strikeouts in his last five starts and 2-for-29 with a 32.4 percent strikeout rate over his past eight games. The ongoing slump looks to have cost him a regular spot in the lineup, as Garver will miss out Wednesday on the Mariners' third straight matchup with a right-handed pitcher (Griffin Canning). Jason Vosler will get a second straight start at designated hitter and may have overtaken Garver as the Mariners' preferred option for the time being.

  • Mariners' Mitch Garver: Not in Tuesday's lineup

    Rotowire
    Garver is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Angels. Garver has gone 0-for-10 with seven strikeouts and two walks in his first three games of the second half, and he'll sit for Tuesday's divisional contest.

  • Mariners' Mitch Garver: Out of Sunday's lineup

    Rotowire
    Garver is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros. Garver has gone 0-for-6 with two walks and four strikeouts to begin the second half and will sit for Sunday's contest. Mitch Haniger will bat seventh as the designated hitter in the series finale versus Houston.

  • Mariners' Mitch Garver: Multi-hit effort in Friday's loss

    Rotowire
    Garver went 2-for-5 with an RBI ground-rule double and a run in an extra-inning loss to the Angels on Friday. Garver appeared to give the Mariners a path to an extra-inning victory with his 10th-inning two-bagger, which brought home Josh Rojas to snap a 4-4 tie. Seattle would go on to fall in the bottom of the frame on Willie Calhoun's two-run home run, nullifying Garver's sixth RBI in his last seven games. The veteran offseason addition has had his moments during the first half of his Mariners debut campaign, but he's still limping along with a .178 average and .654 OPS across 310 plate appearances.

  • Mariners' Mitch Garver: On bench Thursday

    Rotowire
    Garver isn't in the Mariners' lineup versus the Angels on Thursday. Garver will get some rest after starting in the last six games in which he went 4-for-26 with two home runs. Mitch Haniger is taking over as the designated hitter Thursday and is batting eighth.

  • Mariners' Mitch Garver: Goes yard Sunday

    Rotowire
    Garver went 2-for-5 with a three-run home run during Sunday's 5-4 loss to Toronto in 10 innings. Garver clubbed his fourth home run in his last nine starts, tagging Jose Berrios for a three-run shot in the fifth inning. Though he's provided a steady flow of homers, Sunday's outing marked Garver's first multi-hit performance in 14 games. Since the start of June, Garver is batting 19-for-94 (.202) with 22 RBI.

  • Mariners' Mitch Garver: Smacks homer Thursday

    Rotowire
    Garver went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Thursday's 7-3 win over the Orioles. Garver didn't start Tuesday or Wednesday due to a sore wrist. He played in a non-defensive capacity Thursday and lifted a seventh-inning homer as the designated hitter while batting second in the lineup -- the highest spot he's hit all year. The 33-year-old struggled with a .187 batting average in June, though he slugged .453 with five homers, five doubles and 17 RBI. Overall, he's posted a .177/.295/.367 slash line with 11 long balls, 33 RBI, 28 runs scored and 12 doubles across 281 plate appearances.

  • Mariners' Mitch Garver: Back in Seattle lineup

    Rotowire
    Garver (wrist) will start at designated hitter and bat second in Thursday's game versus the Orioles. Garver was used as a pinch hitter in Wednesday's game and is now back in the lineup after missing two starts with a sore wrist. He and his teammates will be tasked with solving Baltimore ace Corbin Burnes.

  • Mariners' Mitch Garver: Makes pinch-hit cameo Wednesday

    Rotowire
    Garver (wrist) entered Wednesday's 4-1 loss to the Orioles as a pinch hitter in the eighth inning and singled in his one plate appearance. Garver was out of the starting nine for the second straight day after being hit by a pitch in the wrist Sunday against the Twins, but his ability to step into the batter's box and put some good wood on the ball would seem to bode well for his recovery. The veteran offseason addition, who snapped a brief 0-for-9 skid with his timely knock, could find himself back in the lineup for Thursday's series finale against the Orioles, although manager Scott Servais said before Wednesday's game that Garver wasn't fully pain-free yet, per MLB.com.

  • Mariners' Mitch Garver: Still out of lineup Wednesday

    Rotowire
    Garver (wrist) is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Orioles. Garver will sit for a second straight game after he was struck in the right wrist by a pitch in Sunday's game against the Twins. Jorge Polanco will serve as the designated hitter Wednesday and bat sixth against Orioles right-hander Dean Kremer.

  • Mariners' Mitch Garver: Remaining out Tuesday

    Rotowire
    Garver (wrist) isn't in the Mariners' lineup for Tuesday's game against the Orioles. Garver will get an extra day to recover Tuesday after getting hit in the wrist by a pitch during Sunday's loss to Minnesota. His absence will allow Mitch Haniger to serve as Seattle's designated hitter while batting eighth.

  • Mariners' Mitch Garver: X-rays negative on wrist

    Rotowire
    Garver (wrist) had X-rays on his right wrist come back negative after being hit by a pitch during Sunday's loss to the Twins, Shannon Drayer of SeattleSports.com reports. Garver appears to have avoided a significant injury after exiting Sunday's contest early. Manager Scott Servais said the team will reevaluate Garver's status following Monday's off day, but the 33-year-old can be considered day-to-day for the time being.

  • Mariners' Mitch Garver: Suffers wrist contusion

    Rotowire
    Garver left Sunday's game against the Twins in the third inning due to a right wrist contusion, Shannon Drayer of SeattleSports.com reports. Garver was struck in the right wrist by a 92.7 mph sinker from Joe Ryan in the bottom of the second inning. He then exited the contest in the following frame. With Seattle having an off day Monday, the 33-year-old will have extra time to nurse the injury before Tuesday's series opener with the Orioles.

  • Mariners' Mitch Garver: Departs after HBP

    Rotowire
    Garver was removed from Sunday's game against the Twins after being hit by a pitch on the wrist, Shannon Drayer of SeattleSports.com reports. Garver remained in the game to run the bases but was lifted in the following frame. The specifics of the injury are unclear, but the catcher could be headed for X-rays. The Mariners were forced to give up the designated hitter as Cal Raleigh took over behind the plate.

  • Mariners' Mitch Garver: Lifts ninth homer Monday

    Rotowire
    Garver went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in a loss to the Rays on Monday. Garver's seventh-inning, 400-foot shot to left with Dominic Canzone aboard snapped a 1-1 tie and gave the Mariners their final two runs of the night. The round tripper snapped a brief 0-for-12 skid that had encompassed Garver's last three-plus games, and it marked the veteran's fourth time leaving the yard in the last 15 contests. Garver is carrying a forgettable .200 average across his 75 plate appearances in June, but an 18.7 percent walk rate and nine extra-base hits have helped him to an impressive .830 OPS in that same span.

  • Mariners' Mitch Garver: Giving way to Haniger on Wednesday

    Rotowire
    Garver is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Guardians. Garver and Mitch Haniger seem to have settled into a timeshare at the designated hitter spot of late, and it'll be the latter's turn to start Wednesday after Garver was included in the lineup for Tuesday's 8-5 win. The Mariners should have room for both players in the starting nine versus left-handed pitching, but neither of the two appears to be locked into a full-time role versus righties at the moment.

  • Mariners' Mitch Garver: Productive in Tuesday's win

    Rotowire
    Garver went 2-for-5 with an RBI fielder's choice, a run-scoring double and another two-bagger in a win over the Guardians on Tuesday. Garver pushed the Mariners' lead to 4-1 in the third inning with his first two-bagger of the night, which plated Cal Raleigh. The former would eventually lace another double, but his second RBI came on his seventh-inning groundout that brought home Ty France. Garver is still sitting on a profoundly disappointing .179 average but has driven in 13 runs over his last 13 games. That's a stretch in which he's laced eight of his 10 hits for extra bases while posting a .294 average and .929 OPS across 20 plate appearances with men in scoring position.

  • Mariners' Mitch Garver: Hitting bench Sunday

    Rotowire
    Garver is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rangers. Garver had started each of the past five games at either designated hitter or catcher, going just 2-for-18 but drawing seven walks over that stretch. The 33-year-old's .646 OPS still represents a more than 200-point downturn from his 2023 mark with the Rangers (.870), but Garver still looks like he'll play frequently against left-handed pitching and fairly regularly against right-handed pitching.

  • Mariners' Mitch Garver: Smashes homer in win

    Rotowire
    Garver went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run and two walks in Friday's 3-2 win over the Rangers. Garver is up to eight homers this season, and he's hit three of them over his last eight games. In that stretch, he's batting .250 (6-for-24) with eight RBI and two doubles. It's encouraging to see more power out of the 33-year-old -- he went 18 games without a homer between May 13 and June 5. Garver is slashing a poor .176/.300/.352 across 230 plate appearances this season, though he's added 25 RBI, 23 runs scored and 10 doubles while seeing fairly steady playing time at designated hitter.
    ... See More ... See Less

  • Mariners' Mitch Garver: Blasts solo home run

    Rotowire
    Garver went 1-for-3 with a home run and a walk in Saturday's loss to the Royals. The designated hitter took Alec Marsh deep in the fifth inning to tie up the score. It was Garver's seventh homer of the season and his second in his last three games. Garver has struggled to the tune of a .180/.292/.348 line thus far, but he may be starting to turn it around with eight RBI and four extra-base hits over his last six games.
