On Friday night, the Seattle Mariners<\/a> will begin their first road trip of the season as they are set to take on the Los Angeles Angels<\/a>. They\u2019ll go into the series off a 3-5 loss to the New York Yankees<\/a>, which came despite a two RBI outing from Cal Raleigh and a multi-hit game for Dominic Canzone.<\/p>\n

The Mariners\u2019 infield gets a boost<\/p>\n

It appears Seattle is set to get a boost for its upcoming slate of games, as the organization announced the reinstatement of J.P. Crawford from the 10-day injured list.<\/p>\n

The 31-year-old was out of action due to inflammation in his right shoulder, which came up in spring training, limiting him to only appearing in seven games in which he\u2019d slash .143 from the batter\u2019s box.<\/p>\n

If Crawford is to play on Friday night, it won\u2019t be his first action since suffering the injury in Spring Training, as he was sent to Triple-A Tacoma Rainiers for rehab, with whom he\u2019d make one appearance, where he\u2019d go 0 for 4 with a walk and a strikeout to his name.<\/p>\n

The former Gold Glove award winner will look to build on what was quite a productive 2025 season, when he hit for a .265\/.352\/.370 statline, while slugging 12 home runs and driving in 58 RBIs.<\/p>\n

It\u2019ll be a welcome addition to Seattle\u2019s lineup, who have struggled to get going this season, posting the joint<\/a> sixth-lowest batting average in the league (.205), sharing the spot with the Angels.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere on the Mariners roster, infielder Ryan Bliss was optioned to Tacoma in order to make room for Crawford\u2019s return. Bliss saw limited game time during the opening stretch of the season, failing to make it on base in both of his at-bats.<\/p>\n

First pitch between the Mariners and Angels on Friday night is slated for 6:38 p.m. PST.<\/p>\n
