Seattle Mariners Outfielder Randy Arozarena Named to 2025 All-Star Game

Several hours after Rodriguez announced he wouldn't compete in the All-Star Game, it was announced that his teammate, Seattle left fielder Randy Arozarena, would be his replacement.

It's the second career All-Star nod for Arozarena. He previously made it in 2023 with his previous team, the Tampa Bay Rays.

Arozarena's selection gives the Mariners five total All-Stars this season, which is the most in a single season for the team since 2003 when Ichiro Suzuki, Edgar Martinez, Bret Boone, Shigetoshi Hasegawa and Jamie Moyer made it.

Arozarena had a slow start to the year but has started to pick things up in recent games. In the last three series (June 30-present), Arozarena has hit .297 (11-for-37) with eight runs in 10 games. He's hit seven home runs to go with 11 RBIs during that stretch. In nine games this month entering Thursday, Arozarena has slashed .273/.306/.727 with a 1.033 OPS.

For the season, Arozarena has scored 48 times in 91 games and has hit 20 doubles, a triple and 15 home runs with 44 RBIs. He's slashed .247/.354/.446 with an .800 OPS.

It's the second time in as many years that Seattle has earned another All-Star selection as a replacement to another one on the team. Andres Munoz was announced as a replacement for Logan Gilbert in 2024.
