During the winter meetings in Dallas, Seattle Mariners President of Baseball Operations Jerry Dipoto provided updates on pitchers Matt Brash and Jackson Kowar.

Brash is ahead of schedule in his recovery from Tommy John surgery and could return by late April, adding significant strength to the bullpen. Kowar is on track for his return, as the Mariners hope to develop him into a reliable pitcher.

The Seattle Mariners secured a 2-0 victory over the Oakland Athletics in their final series of the season, despite missing the playoffs. Bryan Woo delivered a stellar performance with eight strikeouts in five innings, contributing to the team's 15th shutout of the year, the most in the American League.

Mitch Garver and Cal Raleigh provided the offense with solo home runs, while the bullpen successfully preserved the shutout. Manager Dan Wilson praised Woo's strong outing and the team's effort, even with several key players resting.

The Seattle Mariners bullpen, once deemed a liability, has turned its performance around at a crucial moment in the season. Despite injuries to key pitchers and a historically poor offense, the relievers have established stability with a consistent back-end rotation, featuring players like Taylor, Snider, and Munoz.

The bullpen has excelled recently, posting a combined 1.50 ERA over the last week, which includes a striking 24 strikeouts. With this encouraging trend, the Mariners maintain hopes of making a postseason run.

In a tight battle, Anthony Rizzo's crucial double in the 10th inning propelled the New York Yankees to a 2-1 victory over the Seattle Mariners, securing their playoff spot. This marks the Yankees' 25th trip to the postseason in the last 30 years, highlighting their consistent performance under manager Aaron Boone.

Despite only managing two hits against Mariners starter Bryce Miller, Rizzo’s contributions were key. The Yankees lead the AL East as the first team in the league to clinch a playoff berth this season.

The Seattle Mariners have recently secured two critical wins against the Texas Rangers, both ending in 5-4. Key contributions came from Julio Rodriguez, who hit a pivotal three-run homer, and Randy Arozarena, who delivered a walk-off single.

The bullpen also played a crucial role, with JT Chargois earning praise for his performance. He expressed gratitude for being back with the Mariners and highlighted the team's strong pitching and the importance of staying motivated.
