Seattle Mariners Moves: Emerson Hancock called up to start
The Seattle Mariners have called up 25-year-old right-hander Emerson Hancock from Triple-A Tacoma, and the plan is to start him in Thursday’s series finale against the Chicago White Sox, according to Mariners insider Shannon Drayer.

Mariners ace Luis Castillo was initially scheduled to make the start, but the move would allow Seattle to push Castillo and the rest of the starting rotation back a day.
It’s the second change to the rotation this week after 24-year-old right-hander Bryan Woo was scratched from his start on Tuesday due to an arm issue. Woo is expected to return to the rotation next week after an MRI on his right elbow came back clean, according to Mariners general manager Justin Hollander.
Hancock, the No. 6 overall pick in the 2020 MLB Draft, is making his third trip to the majors. He made three starts last August, including his MLB debut. He then opened this season as the Mariners’ No. 5 starter while Woo was on the injured list with elbow inflammation.
Hancock made seven starts for Seattle earlier this year, posting a 5.24 ERA with 23 strikeouts and 11 walks in 34 1/3 innings. He was optioned to Tacoma on May 8 after Woo returned from the IL.
The Mariners also reinstated utilityman Dylan Moore from the paternity list on Thursday. The 31-year-old Moore missed the past three games after being scratched from Monday’s lineup. He is batting .213/.325/.408 with six homers, two triples, 11 doubles, nine steals and a .733 OPS in 55 games this season.
To make room on their 26-man roster, the Mariners optioned rookie infielder Leo Rivas and reliever Brett de Geus to Tacoma.
The Mariners are going for a four-game sweep of the White Sox on Thursday night. First pitch is set for 6:40 p.m., with radio coverage starting with the pregame show at 5:30 on Seattle Sports. After that, they host the defending World Series champion Texas Rangers for a three-game set this weekend.
Two Mariners pitchers claimed
The Baltimore Orioles claimed former Seattle pitching prospect Levi Stoudt off waivers. He has been optioned him to Triple-A, according to Jacob Calvin Meyer of The Baltimore Sun.
The other team from the Beltway, the Washington Nationals, claimed another right-hander from Seattle, Edurado Salazar.
Stoudt, a 2019 third-round pick by the Mariners, was part of the package Seattle sent to the Cincinnati Reds in the 2022 trade deadline deal for Castillo. Stoudt returned to the Mariners’ organization in February when they claimed him off waivers, but he struggled in Triple-A Tacoma. The 26-year-old right-hander posted a 6.92 ERA with 36 strikeouts and 30 walks in 52 innings at Tacoma before the Mariners designated him for assignment on Sunday.
Salazar was claimed by the Mariners from the Los Angeles Dodgers on May 23. He appeared in four games with Tacoma, allowing two runs over 3 1/3 innings.

Seattle named one of the most stressed, burned-out cities in the U.S. for work – MyNorthwest.com
Seattle is among the most stressed-out, burned-out, anxious cities when it comes to its employment, according to a new study.
According to a new study from Compare the Market, Seattle ranked No. 2 in the U.S. for work stress and burnout. Only Atlanta ranked higher.
“Seattle comes in at No. 2 for the USA, but despite having a much lower score than Atlanta, its higher population of 780,995 and 2,498 searches per 100,000 people around anxiety-related searches still make it a very anxious city, with a score of 76.06,” the study wrote.
In the past year, workers in Seattle searched for “stress relief” more than 4,990 times, according to the study.
In the U.S., San Francisco, Denver, Boston, Las Vegas, Washington D.C., Baltimore, Kansas City, and Portland rounded out the top 10. Three cities in Canada — Victoria, London, Ontario, and Ottawa — ranked above Seattle for most work-related stress and anxiety. San Francisco was close behind Seattle in the study’s ranking.
Researchers studied search terms related to work, such as “work burnout,” “work depression,” “work stress,” and “how to deal with work stress,” across all U.S. cities, compiling them into a point scale.
“Reducing work stress starts with creating a healthier work environment, where balance and support are prioritised,” Compare the Market General Manager Steven Spicer. “Simple steps like regular breaks, open communication, and mindfulness can go a long way in easing anxiety.”
