Mariners' Randy Arozarena: Productive night in blowout win
Rotowire
Arozarena went 2-for-4 with a two-run double and two runs in a win over the Athletics on Wednesday.
Arozarena authored one of five multi-hit efforts for the Mariners in the lopsided victory, and he chipped in two of the team's 16 runs with a timely check-swing double in the seventh inning that plated J.P. Crawford and Julio Rodriguez. Arozarena snapped a 1-for-14, four-game skid in the process, a slump that began after he'd recorded five hits over two games on Aug. 28 and Aug. 30. Despite the recent brief downturn, Arozarena has been more productive overall since arriving in Seattle than he was up to that point with the Rays, posting a .238 average, .753 OPS, 11 extra-base hits, 12 RBI, 18 walks and 24 runs while getting on base nine additional times on hit-by-pitches over 34 games in a Mariners uniform.

Mariners' Randy Arozarena: Records 19th steal in loss
Rotowire
Arozarena went 1-for-5 with an RBI fielder's choice, a double and a stolen base in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Giants.
The trade-deadline acquisition got the Mariners to within a run in the seventh inning with his groundout to shortstop, but Seattle was unable to get a second consecutive win under new manager Dan Wilson. Arozarena also subsequently swiped second base for his 19th steal of the campaign, putting him on the precipice of reaching the 20-steal threshold for the fourth straight season. The majority of that production came during his time with the Rays, but Arozarena has now gotten the green light on the basepaths and capitalized three times in the last five games.

Rotowire
Arozarena went 1-for-3 with two walks and two runs in a win over the Phillies on Friday.

Mariners' Randy Arozarena: Delivers RBI in return
Rotowire
Arozarena (undisclosed) started in left field and went 1-for-5 with an RBI fielder's choice and a run in a win over the Red Sox on Tuesday.
Arozarena had exited Monday's game after a collision with the wall in foul territory at Fenway Park, but the exit had been labeled as precautionary and no subsequent absences were expected. That proved to be true Tuesday, with the recent arrival managing to extend his hitting streak to five games and drive in a run for the second straight contest. Arozarena was already heating up during his final weeks with the Rays and carried the momentum over across the country, and he'll enter the final game of July with a .305 average and .972 OPS across 93 plate appearances this month.

Mariners' Randy Arozarena: Reaches twice in team debut
Rotowire
Arozarena started in left field during his Mariners debut Saturday against the White Sox, going 1-for-4 with a walk and a run in Seattle's 6-3 win.
The big-name trade acquisition slotted into the No. 2 spot in the order and crossed the plate with his first run in a Mariners uniform on Jorge Polanco's eighth-inning single. Seattle is looking to Arozarena for an infusion of badly needed offense, and he arrived in the Emerald City in the midst of one of his better stretches at the plate in what has been a disappointing season. The 29-year-old forged a .375 average and 1.358 OPS with six extra-base hits over his last seven games with the Rays, and Saturday's team debut encouragingly maintained some of that momentum.

Arozarena is expected to report to the Mariners on Saturday ahead of their game against the White Sox, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.
The trade sending Arozarena to Seattle was made official earlier Friday, but the logistics of joining his new team won't allow him to suit up immediately. Arozarena will likely see most of his action with the Mariners in left field, although he is capable of handling all three outfield spots.

Rays' Randy Arozarena: Productive in loss
Rotowire
Arozarena went 2-for-3 with a double, a walk, one RBI, a stolen base and two runs scored in Wednesday's 6-3 loss to the Blue Jays.
Arozarena has just three multi-hit efforts in July, but he's batting a hearty .288 with 11 extra-base hits, eight RBI and six steals over 18 contests this month. He seems to have more of a green light on the basepaths -- he stole a modest 10 bases over the first three months of the season and is now 16-for-23 on steals this year. The outfielder is still sporting a mediocre .213/.319/.398 slash line through 99 contests overall, but he's trending in the right direction.
