Eovaldi allowed one run on four hits while striking out two over 2.2 innings of relief in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Diamondbacks.

Eovaldi was needed for multiple innings in a game where starter Kumar Rocker was lifted after four-plus innings. The former opted to rejoin the Rangers following a stint on the injured list without a rehab assignment and is expected to serve as a multi-inning reliever. The live batting-practice sessions he threw while rehabbing lasted two innings apiece.

Duran went 1-for-5 with two RBI in Saturday's 6-2 win over Arizona.

Duran snapped an 0-for-19 skid with a two-run single during the Rangers' six-run fifth inning. The two RBI raised his season total to 80, which ranks second on the team behind Jake Burger's 83.

Garcia (1-1) struck out one over a scoreless fifth inning to earn the win Saturday over the Diamondbacks.

After Texas scored six times in the top of the fifth to take a 6-1 lead, starter Kumar Rocker began the bottom of the frame with two consecutive walks and was replaced by Garcia, who then got credited with the win. This was the reliever's third appearance since returning to the active roster last week. The left-hander has not allowed a hit, walk or run while striking out four over three innings.

Smith started at designated hitter and went 1-for-1 with an RBI in Saturday's 6-2 loss to Texas.

Smith had his contract was selected from Triple-A Reno on Saturday, and was immediately inserted back into the lineup. His third-inning single knocked in the Diamondbacks' first run and was his lone plate appearance, as Ildemaro Vargas pinch hit for him in the fifth inning against left-hander Robert Garcia. Smith could get regular turns as a DH against righties, against whom Arizona ranks next-to-last in the league with a .684 OPS.

Nelson (elbow) allowed two runs on four hits while striking out two over 1.2 innings for Triple-A Reno on Saturday.

Nelson worked 34 pitches in his third and potentially final rehab outing. This was the first of his three that he was used for more than one inning. Nelson has allowed two runs on four hits, struck out six and hit a batter over 3.2 innings while on assignment.

Naylor went 3-for-5 with a double, one RBI and one run scored in Saturday's 19-1 win over the Athletics.

Naylor is batting .298 (14-for-47) in September, with this being his fourth multi-hit effort in 11 games this month. The double was his third extra-base hit of the month. Naylor is batting .270 with a .688 OPS, 10 home runs, 50 RBI, 56 runs scored, 21 doubles and 27 stolen bases over 139 contests.

Rodriguez went 3-for-5 with a double, a walk and two runs scored in Saturday's 19-1 win over the Athletics.

Rodriguez has gone 6-for-16 over four games since he was dropped to fifth in the batting order. The outfielder was one of five Mariners to collect at least three hits in Saturday's onslaught of offense. For the season, Rodriguez is batting .243 with a .701 OPS, 21 home runs, 65 RBI, 68 runs scored, 22 doubles and 20 stolen bases over 138 contests, putting him in line for the worst year of his career in most categories.

Crawford went 2-for-6 with a two-run home run, a hit-by-pitch and three total runs scored in Saturday's 19-1 win over the Athletics.

Crawford was one of eight Mariners to log multiple hits in the contest, and he's done so for both of the last two games following an 0-for-10 performance in this week's series against the Rangers. The shortstop snapped a 50-game power drought with his seventh-inning homer, a stretch that dated back to early June. Crawford is batting .223 with a .690 OPS, 11 homers, 35 RBI, 45 runs scored, 12 doubles and one stolen base over 104 games this season. He has hit leadoff in four straight games, including three against left-handers.

Canzone went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 19-1 win over the Athletics.

Canzone took Gage Jump deep in the first inning, and that blast was ultimately all the Mariners needed in the blowout win. Over his last 15 games, Canzone has gone 17-for-64 (.266) with eight extra-base hits and 10 RBI. The outfielder has split time between right field and designated hitter due to the ongoing struggles of Taylor Ward. Canzone is batting .258 with an .809 OPS, 22 homers, 68 RBI, 52 runs scored, 24 doubles, three triples and two stolen bases over 133 games this season.

Arroyo went 3-for-4 with a solo home run, a double, a walk, three total RBI and two runs scored in Saturday's 19-1 win over the Athletics.

Arroyo was in the lineup for just the second time since his Sept. 6 call-up. He went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts prior to his big game Saturday, which checked off a lot of firsts in his young career. He has yet to carve out a steady spot in the lineup, but that could change once the Mariners are officially eliminated from playoff contention.
