Mariners part ways with veterans Rob Refsnyder and Mitch Garver

Seattle Mariners have decided to release outfielder Rob Refsnyder and catcher Mitch Garver following their struggles this season. Both players had underperformed, with Refsnyder posting a disappointing 32 wRC+ and dealing with injuries, while Garver contributed defensively but faced offensive difficulties. The Mariners are calling up catcher Jhonny Pereda to replace Garver, as they seek to enhance their batting amidst a competitive division race. The decision reflects the Mariners' need for increased offensive production as they look up at the Astros and Rangers.
