Bryan Woo starts Wednesday as Orioles vs. Mariners wrap a three-game set in Seattle. The winner will settle both the 3-game set and the season series. Julio Rodríguez is getting a rest day after leaving last night’s game with a hamstring spasm and could be available off the bench.
Bryan Woo's Home Split
Woo’s home-road numbers present the central matchup wrinkle: he has a 2.07 FIP in Seattle this season and a 4.28 FIP everywhere else. That split matters because one week ago the Orioles scored seven runs off him in Baltimore, a recent outing that complicates projections despite the low home FIP.
Lineup Changes for Mariners
Josh Naylor returns to the lineup after missing a couple of games with a wrist issue. Mitch Garver will do the catching, and Cal Raleigh gets a designated hitter day in his third game back from the injured list. Luke Raley is away from the team with the flu but is expected back at the ballpark tomorrow.
Roster and Medical Notes
Cooper Criswell received a PRP injection today and will be down 2-3 weeks before he can begin building back up toward a roster return. That absence narrows immediate depth and places a premium on the available bullpen arms for this finale.
Shane Baz Draws Start
Shane Baz is on the hill for Baltimore; the Mariners did not face Baz in their four-game set last week, which leaves this matchup without a direct recent template. Fans can watch the game on Mariners.TV or listen on 710 AM Seattle Sports.
Wednesday’s start for Woo resolves several roster and matchup questions in one game: it decides the series, tests Woo’s stark home-road split against an Orioles lineup that recently erupted for seven runs, and arrives while Seattle manages short-term absences. The single urgent question now is whether Julio Rodríguez will be available off the bench later in the game.
