The Seattle Mariners enter the All-Star break with a record below.500, largely due to the underperformance of key players Cal Raleigh and Julio Rodríguez. Raleigh has struggled since returning from an oblique injury, while Rodríguez is currently on the injured list with a concussion. This duo, projected to be among the best in baseball, has combined for significantly less WAR than expected. Despite their struggles, the supporting cast has remained steady, and the team hopes to turn things around in the second half of the season.
- •Mariners are one game under.500 at the All-Star break.
- •Cal Raleigh's poor performance follows an oblique injury earlier in the season.
- •Julio Rodríguez is sidelined with a concussion after an on-field incident.
- •Their combined production has fallen well short of pre-season projections.
- •Supporting players have performed adequately, keeping the team competitive.
