Mariners, Padres Compete for Wild Card with Roster Pressure, Trade Talks
The Seattle Mariners are experiencing increased pressure on veterans Jorge Polanco and Randy Arozarena as they frequently bat behind star catcher Cal Raleigh, who is drawing more intentional walks due to his power hitting. Meanwhile, the San Diego Padres, fighting for a Wild Card spot, are actively pursuing a right-handed hitting outfielder at the trade deadline to bolster their lineup. The New York Yankees suffered a significant blow as pitcher Clarke Schmidt was diagnosed with a torn UCL, requiring Tommy John surgery and ending his current and likely next season. The San Francisco Giants have seen former first baseman LaMonte Wade Jr. struggle significantly after being traded to the Los Angeles Angels, with poor offensive performance threatening his tenure there. The Kansas City Royals adjusted their roster by adding catcher Luke Maile following an injury scare to Salvador Perez, while sending outfielder Drew Waters to the minors due to his recent slump at the plate. These developments highlight ongoing roster moves and injury challenges as MLB teams prepare for the trade deadline and the critical stretch of the season.
