Campbell (shoulder) has been playing catch from 90 feet, Christopher Smith of The Springfield Republican reports.
Campbell has been on the injured list since April 12 with a right shoulder impingement, and his throwing program has progressed slower than expected, though manager Alex Cora said the right-hander is feeling better. He remains without a clear return timeline, but one may emerge once he progresses to mound work and faces live hitters.

Red Sox's Isaiah Campbell: Charged with blown save
Rotowire
Campbell allowed one hit and one walk over a scoreless third of an inning and was charged with a blown save in Saturday's 2-1 loss to the Angels.

Campbell finished out the inning with no runs charged to him, his fourth consecutive outing without a run allowed. He's allowed one run on three hits and a walk while striking four over 4.1 innings.

Campbell worked to a sharp 2.83 ERA and 33:13 K:BB over his first 28.2 major-league innings this past season for Seattle. The 26-year-old right-hander should be in the Opening Day bullpen mix with the Red Sox in 2024.

Mariners' Isaiah Campbell: Grabs first big-league win
Rotowire
Campbell (1-0), promoted from Double-A Arkansas earlier in the day, got the win against the Blue Jays on Saturday, allowing a hit and a walk while also hitting a batter over one-third of an inning.
The right-hander extended his career-opening scoreless appearance streak to four games with Saturday's eventful outing, which saw him escape a jam largely of his own making in the seventh by getting George Springer to ground out into an inning-ending fielder's choice. Campbell then became the pitcher of record when the Mariners mounted a five-run rally in the home half of the frame, affording him delayed gratification for what had been an impressive first 3.2 scoreless innings of his career over three appearances before a brief demotion Wednesday.
