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.

Quentin Mosby apparently has decided he’s better off playing his high school basketball on the shores of the Gulf Coast rather than just up the street from Lake Washington.
At IMG Academy, rather than the Lakeside School.
In South Florida, rather than North Seattle.
On Thursday, multiple basketball websites reported the 6-foot-2 Mosby, after two years at academic-minded Lakeside, will transfer and play his final two seasons at sports-centric IMG in the coastal community of Bradenton.
It appears Mosby simply needed a step up in basketball competition after averaging 30.4 points per game for Lakeside as a sophomore and continuing his high-scoring ways with Seattle Select on the Under Armour All-Star circuit this summer at a 24.5 clip.
The forseeable drawback to this arrangement is the University of Washington basketball program, which made him a scholarship offer last month, will now have to conduct a long-distance courtship of this savvy player rather than just head to a local gym.
NEWS: 2028 4⭐ Quentin Mosby will transfer to IMG Academy (FL) for his junior season of high school, sources told @LeagueRDY.
Mosby currently leads the UAA U17 in scoring and has picked up offers from Utah, Georgia Tech, Washington and Stanford amongst others.

Mosby is clearly a mature player with the ball in his hands, able to go to the hoop with authority as well drain 3-pointers from around the perimeter.
Yet he largely was a one-man show at a school that counts its most famous alums as Microsoft founders Bill Gates and Paul Allen, Batman actor Adam West, McCaw Cellular founder Craig McCaw, Washington Governor Booth Gardner, Space Needle owner David Skinner and Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Corbin Carroll.
Typical of his dominance in the 3A Metro League, Mosby came up with a 40-point, 10-assist performance in Lakeside’s 83-77 overtime victory over Franklin this past January.
His father Dre Mosby reportedly played for Spokane’s John Rogers High School and led the Greater Spokane League in scoring at 20-plus points per game in 1997 after moving with family members from Southern California. He’s now a Seattle gym owner and a fitness trainer.
So good at such a young age, this young Mosby just keeps getting more offensive-minded, showing no reluctance at all to take on older players. He holds offers from Georgia Tech, Stanford, Seattle University, Utah and Weber State, with others such as Gonzaga making contact.
So now, if all goes as planned, it’s on to Florida to see where that will take his game and then whether he’ll come back to play his college basketball in his hometown.

Here’s the annual announcement from Seattle Parks – we’ve excised the non-local parks:
Seattle Parks and Recreation will turn on field lighting on ballfields throughout the city on the evening of Friday, July 3 and Saturday, July 4 to protect the surfaces. The ballfield lights will be turned on at approximately 9 PM.
The lights will be turned on to discourage the use of fireworks. Fireworks are illegal in the city of Seattle and will destroy the artificial turf on the fields or surrounding facilities. The approximate replacement cost for the synthetic surface based on per average full-size field (110,000 square feet) is $1.2 million. All the fields have been renovated in the past several years and benefit field users including soccer, football, baseball, ultimate frisbee and lacrosse.
The fields will be monitored from 9 PM to 3 AM
Lights at the following synthetic fields will be turned off at 3 AM on July 3 and 4:
Delridge Playfield, 4458 Delridge Way SW
Hiawatha Playfield, 2700 California Ave. SW
South Park Playfield, 8319 8th Ave S
Walt Hundley Playfield, 6920 34th Avenue SWLights will be turned off at the following grass fields at 11 PM on July 3 and 4:
West Seattle Stadium, 4432 35th Ave. SW
Comparing this to last year’s announcement, the lights will be on longer the night before the 4th, and the “monitoring” will be an hour later.
