On Friday, Seattle Mariners outfielder Julio Rodriguez pulled out of the All-Star Game, but not all was lost for M's fans, as Randy Arozarena took his place on the American League roster.
The 30-year-old Arozarena is hitting .244 with 15 homers and 44 RBIs. He's also stolen 15 bases and owns a 132 OPS+. He's one of five Mariners to get named to the All-Star Game this year, alongside Bryan Woo, Rodriguez, Andres Munoz and catcher Cal Raleigh.
Courtesy of Mariners PR, here's a list of every M's player to ever make the All-Star Game.
The All-Star Game is Tuesday night at 5 p.m. PT. Raleigh will compete in the Home Run Derby on Monday night. He'll look to become only the second Mariners player to ever win the Derby, joining Ken Griffey Jr., who won it a record three times.
Seattle will enter play on Saturday at 49-45 and in second place in the American League West. They are six games behind the Houston Astros in the division, and also trail the Tampa Bay Rays by 0.5 games in the American League wild card race. Seattle hasn't made the playoffs since the 2022 season.
The M's will finish out the first half of the season on Sunday against the Tigers before departing for the All-Star break. They'll come out of the break with a very difficult homestand against the Astros and Milwaukee Brewers. They'll have 17 games in a row right out of the break, marking the second such stretch this season.
