Seattle Mariners Update: No Ford yet as Garver says he’s fine
The Seattle Mariners have released their lineup for Friday’s series opener in Texas, and even though it doesn’t feature Mitch Garver, it does appear to be good news about his status.
That also means that if you were hoping to see prospect Harry Ford get the call up to the big league, you may still be waiting.
M’s may be readying to call up prospect Harry Ford with Garver hurt
Cal Raleigh is catching a day after his half-day off was interrupted, as Garver exited a loss in Minnesota due to a jaw injury after taking a foul ball off his catcher’s mask. That forced the M’s to lose their designated hitter by putting Raleigh, who was the starting DH, behind the plate for the remainder of the game.
Though Garver isn’t playing, it sounds like he will avoid the injured list.
Mariners insider Shannon Drayer of Seattle Sports reported Friday that Garver had a jammed jaw but that the swelling has gone down, so he is “good to go.”
Garver said he is fine. Was dealing with a jammed jaw. CT clean. Bite back to normal after the swelling went down. Good to go.

With Raleigh catching again Friday after being behind the plate in each of Seattle’s last four games, it appears the M’s are confident Garver will be able to catch sometime this weekend to get Raleigh a breather.
Ford, a 22-year-old catcher currently on the Triple-A Tacoma Rainiers roster, was removed from Tacoma’s lineup shortly before its game Thursday to join the Mariners’ taxi squad, keeping him close in case Garver needed to go on the IL. A first-round pick in the 2021 MLB Draft and the No. 60 overall prospect in baseball per MLB.com, Ford is hitting .311 with eight home runs, a .426 on-base percentage and .895 OPS in 60 games with the Rainiers this year.

It’s a marquee pitching matchup Friday with 2024 All-Star and Mariners opening day starter Logan Gilbert being matched up against Rangers standout Nathan Eovaldi, who has a 1.56 ERA and 0.81 WHIP in 12 starts this season. It will be Eovaldi’s first game back from a stint on the IL for right posterior elbow inflammation.
Texas (40-41) has won four of its last six games and is eight games back of AL West-leading Houston (48-33).
The Mariners (41-39) have won eight of their last 13 games but are looking to shake off back-to-back losses at Minnesota, where they split a four-game series. Seattle is 6 1/2 games back of Houston in the division but sits in the third and final wild card spot in the American League.
Friday’s game is set for a 5:05 p.m. start, with radio coverage on Seattle Sports set to begin at 4 with the pregame show.

SEATTLE — Homestead Community Land Trust celebrated the completion of Nest, a new mixed-income condominium community on Seattle’s Phinney Ridge, during a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Friday.
The development creates 30 homeownership opportunities in one of Seattle’s most sought-after neighborhoods, including 19 permanently affordable homes and 11 market-rate homes.

Located at 6109 Phinney Ave. N., Nest is Homestead’s second condominium development on Phinney Ridge and the latest addition to its portfolio of permanently affordable homeownership communities.
Residents will have walkable access to neighborhood businesses, transit, and parks, as well as views of the Cascade and Olympic mountain ranges.
Homes designated for income-qualified households are expected to be priced between approximately $250,000 and $335,000, compared with Seattle’s median condominium price of about $600,000.
Speakers at the ribbon-cutting ceremony included Washington Gov. Bob Ferguson, state Sen. Emily Alvarado, Nicole Vallestero-Soper, director of policy and innovation for Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson, and Homestead homeowner Jessica Garcia-Ortiz.
The project was developed on a site assembled from a former Seattle City Light property made available through the City of Seattle for affordable homeownership and an adjacent parcel acquired by Homestead.
The development highlights how public land, public investment, and community partnerships can be used to create long-term homeownership opportunities in high-cost neighborhoods.
Nest includes one-, two-, and three-bedroom homes, rooftop community space, and all-electric, fossil-fuel-free construction.
The homes feature heat pumps, induction ranges, and modern building systems designed to reduce environmental impact and operating costs.
The development also incorporates environmentally sustainable materials and bio-based, PVC-free flooring that is cradle-to-grave certified carbon neutral.
The development was made possible in part through the transfer of a former Seattle City Light property for permanently affordable homeownership, advancing the use of public land to support housing affordability in Seattle.
Police are talking with a person who reported being a victim of a street robbery late tonight at or near California SW and SW Raymond.
