The Mariners optioned Rivas to Triple-A Tacoma on Sunday. The 27-year-old was competing for a spot on Seattle's Opening Day bench but will instead begin the campaign back at Tacoma. Rivas had an .865 OPS in 63 games at Triple-A last year but struggled over 86 plate appearances in the big leagues with a .233/.333/.274 slash line.
The Mariners optioned Legumina to Triple-A Tacoma on Sunday. The right-hander was acquired from the Reds for cash considerations in February but was unable to earn a spot on the Mariners' Opening Day roster. Legumina has a 6.95 ERA in 17 big-league appearances during his career, and he'll likely fill a low-leverage role if called up by Seattle.
Moore was scratched from Sunday's spring lineup due to an illness, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports. Moore was originally slated to start at third base Sunday, but Miles Mastrobuoni has been moved there in his place. Meanwhile, Moore will look to recover in time for Opening Day. He's expected to serve in a utility role this season.
Robles had X-rays on his right hand come back negative and will hit in the batting cages Sunday, Shannon Drayer of SeattleSports.com reports. The 27-year-old was hit by a pitch during Saturday's spring game but appears to have avoided a significant injury. Assuming Robles doesn't experience any additional complications, it appears he'll be ready to go for the season opener Thursday versus the A's.
Mariners manager Dan Wilson "sounded optimistic" that Robles would be OK after the outfielder was hit by a pitch on his right hand and forced to exit Saturday's Cactus League game against the White Sox, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports. However, Robles will still need to undergo an X-ray and possibly other tests. Robles appeared to be in considerable pain after taking a slider to the wrist in his fourth plate appearance Saturday. This initial word is positive, but Robles is not out of the woods yet. He is looking to build on his excellent run with Seattle last season during which he slashed .328/.393/.467 with four homers and 30 steals in just 77 games.
Robles left Saturday's Cactus League game against the White Sox after being hit by a pitch on his right hand, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports. Robles singled in both of his first two trips but was then plunked in his fourth plate appearance, and he appeared to be in considerable pain. The Mariners figure to send him for tests right away to determine the extent of the injury.
The Mariners optioned Canzone to Triple-A Tacoma on Saturday. Canzone didn't put up much of a fight in the race for an Opening Day roster spot, slashing just .209/.244/.395 with three RBI and nine runs scored in 45 plate appearances. He'll now look to earn his way back to the majors in Tacoma, where he finished with an .888 OPS across 29 games last season.
The Mariners optioned Shenton to Triple-A Tacoma on Saturday. In his first spring with the Mariners after being traded from Tampa Bay during the offseason, Shenton went 9-for-34 with two RBI, four runs scored and 13 strikeouts. He'll now head to Triple-A to begin the 2025 campaign but could soon work his way back to Seattle, as he owns a .932 OPS across his Triple-A career.
