Seattle Mariners’ Pitching Staff is Only One in Baseball to Accomplish This Feat in 2024
If the Seattle Mariners are going to make the playoffs in 2024, it’s going to be on the strength of their starting pitching. The group of Luis Castillo, Logan Gilbert, Bryce Miller, George Kirby and Bryan Woo is the best collection of starters in all of baseball, capable of giving the team length and a chance to win most times out.
How good has the M’s staff been? Check out these league-leading numbers from Mariners PR:
Seattle has 4 pitchers with 14+ quality starts and 5 with 9+: Logan Gilbert (21 QS, most in MLB), Luis Castillo (17, T-9th) ,George Kirby (16, 12th), Bryce Miller (14, T-15th) and Bryan Woo (9), making them the only starting rotation in the Majors to meet both those criteria.

Castillo almost added another quality start to his ledger on Wednesday, tossing 5.2 innings in a win over the Tampa Bay Rays. He gave up just two runs and the M’s won, 6-2.
Seattle is now 68-66 on the season and they trail the Houston Astros by 3.5 games in the American League West race. They also trail the Minnesota Twins by 4.5 games in the wild card race. However, they’d have to jump both the Boston Red Sox and Detroit Tigers to get there. All three teams have the tiebreakers over Seattle.
The M’s will be back on the field on Friday after an off-day on Thursday. They’ll take on the Los Angeles Angels at 6:38 p.m. PT down in Anaheim.
The Angels are in last place in the division.

Knight, a five-time Olympian and captain of the United States team that won gold, will be out of the lineup for the Seattle Torrent indefinitely after sustaining a lower-body injury in Italy, the team announced Friday.
Knight had three goals and three assists for the U.S. at Milan Cortina including a goal in the 2-1 overtime win over Canada in the final. She has three goals and seven assists during the current PWHL season.

“While we’re eager to be at full strength and recognize the anticipation of Hilary’s return, we’re focused on putting her and our team in the best position for a playoff push,” Torrent general manager Meghan Turner said in a statement.
Minnesota Frost captain Coyne Schofield was placed on long-term injured reserve on Friday retroactive to Feb. 19 with an upper-body injury. Coyne Schofield scored three goals for the United States during the Olympics.
“I am incredibly proud of all our Frost Olympians who demonstrated true excellence on the world stage,” general manager Melissa Caruso said in a statement. “We are fully committed to supporting Kendall throughout her recovery, and our medical team will be working diligently to help her prepare for her return to the ice.”
The moves by the Torrent and Frost came a day after the Montreal Victoire announced that Ambrose has been placed on long-term injured reserve retroactive to Feb. 19 for a lower‑body injury suffered while representing Canada in the gold medal game. Ambrose had a pair of assists at the Olympics.
The Victoire’s Marie-Philip Poulin, Canada’s captain in Italy, was listed as day-to-day with an Olympics-related injury.
Victoire general manager Daniele Sauvageau said of the team’s Olympians “we are confident that they will be back in the lineup in the near future.”
