It’s split squad action today in Peoria and at Salt River Fields. Both games are televised, so choose wisely.
Don’t get too attached to this Josh Naylor graphic; he was a late scratch. Luis Suisbel is now in the lineup, batting ninth and playing first base.
Also scheduled to pitch in this game: José A. Ferrer, Carlos Vargas, Casey Legumina, Andrés Muñoz

And in split-squad action:
Also scheduled to pitch in this one: Casey Lawrence, Yosver Zulueta, and probably some JIC-ys.
Injury updates:
J.P. Crawford is away from the team having his shoulder looked at by Dr. Meister. That sounds ominous, but Justin Hollander says the visit is evaluative not diagnostic, making sure everything is continuing to trend well for an Opening Day start.
No word on Josh Naylor’s absence, but a quick look at the weather in Peoria – 91 en route to 95 degrees – might suggest why Naylor, who’s been away at the WBC for several weeks, is being granted an off-day.
Roster updates:
The Mariners re-assigned LHP Kade Anderson to minor-league camp after his start on Friday; yesterday they re-assigned INF Michael Arroyo, RHP Charlie Beilenson, OF Jonny Farmelo, C Jakson Reetz, RHP Michael Rucker and RHP Ryan Sloan to minor-league camp. That doesn’t mean you’ve seen the last of them – Beilenson in particular will likely pop up in a few more big-league appearances this spring – but it is a signal that the Mariners are getting their main players back from the WBC and things are getting closer to Opening Day and the 26 players they’ll be bringing to T-Mobile Park.
