Rojas is absent from Friday's lineup against the Athletics, Shannon Drayer of SeattleSports.com reports.

With the A's sending southpaw JP Sears to the mound Friday, the lefty-hitting Rojas will begin the game on the bench. Luis Urias will start at third base and bat eighth.

Turner is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against Oakland, Shannon Drayer of SeattleSports.com reports.

Turner will begin Friday's contest on the bench while Cal Raleigh serves as the designated hitter and bats second. Turner has reached base safely in 24 straight starts, and since Sept. 1 he's slashed .293/.391/.440 with 13 runs scored, two home runs and eight RBI across 92 plate appearances.

Raley is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Athletics, Shannon Drayer of SeattleSports.com reports.

Raley will once again retreat to the dugout as Oakland sends left-hander JP Sears to the mound Friday. Dylan Moore will start at first base and bat fifth.

Robles is absent from Friday's lineup against Oakland, Shannon Drayer of SeattleSports.com reports.

Robles will rest for the first game of the series after going 3-for-13 with two RBI and five runs scored during the Mariners' previous series against the Astros. Mitch Haniger will start in right field and bat sixth against Athletics southpaw JP Sears.

Arrighetti (calf) will pitch out of the bullpen for the weekend series against the Guardians, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

Arrighetti was pulled from his last start Sunday against the Angels due to calf cramping. While he won't return to the rotation for the final series of the regular season, the 24-year-old right-hander could see some work out of the bullpen for a game or two to test out his calf ahead of the postseason. In 11 starts since the All-Star break, Arrighetti has a 3-6 record with a 3.30 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 74:18 K:BB across 62.2 innings.

The Athletics reinstated Stripling (back) from the 15-day injured list Friday.

Stripling landed on the injured list Sept. 11 due to a lower-back strain and began facing live hitters again as recently as Tuesday. Now that he's healthy, he'll presumably take on a low-leverage role out of the bullpen for the final three games of the season. Meanwhile, Brady Basso will head to the Arizona Complex League in order to free up a roster spot.

Oakland optioned Basso to the Arizona Complex League Athletics on Friday.

The move makes room on the A's 28-man roster for the reinstatement of right-hander Ross Stripling (back) from the 15-day injured list. Basso has made four starts for the Athletics in September, going 1-1 with a 3.79 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 16:5 K:BB over 19 innings.

Gipson-Long (elbow) will begin a throwing program next week, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.

It will be the first time he's thrown since he had Tommy John surgery in April. Gipson-Long could be an option to pitch for the Tigers around midseason in 2025.
