Crawford Returns, Raley Stays in Center: Mariners Spring Training

0:00For the Seattle Mariners, it's March 9th. Here's what's happening. Make sure you're subscribed so you never miss an update. The Seattle Mariners are back in spring training action today against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Key highlight is, J.P. Crawford returning to shortstop for his first start this spring, after dealing with shoulder soreness to slow him down. The infill looks solid with Ryan Bliss' second base and Brendan Donovan at third. Luke Rayleigh is getting another go in center field, which seems to be turning into a regular thing for him. Rob Russ Snyder starts in right, and Victor Robles serves as the designated hitter. Fans are buzzing about Crawford's return, as it boosts the lineup's energy early in camp. Rayleigh's consistent starts and center show the team building depth out there, amid ongoing position battles. Brian Wu takes the mound for his third spring outing. Managers expect him to pitch deeper this time, likely through the fourth inning as he ramps up his workload. First pitch is at 1-10pm Pacific time, catching on 7-10am Seattle Sports Radio, their app or game day audio, but no TV broadcast today.
