If you read the previous series preview, you’ll be well acquainted with the opponent for the opening series of the second half. There were a few key changes over the All-Star break, however. The Mariners announced that they’ll be calling up Jarred Kelenic and he should slot in as the everyday center fielder for the rest of the season. Héctor Santiago’s suspension for using a banned substance was upheld and the Mariners will be down a man on their 26-man roster for the next 10 games. That will force the Mariners to stretch their pitching staff pretty thin at a critical point in the season.
