Mariners Adjust Rotation for Pitcher Rest

The Mariners are taking a strategic pause on their piggyback pitching plan to keep their arms fresh during a brutal 12-game-in-13-days stretch, with Logan Gilbert getting regular starts, Hancock pitching on Sunday, and Kirby’s turn moved to Monday. Manager Dan Wilson says flexibility remains key, with the piggyback option still on the table before the All-Star break. Gilbert’s been electric lately—earning Pitcher of the Week honors—and Hancock, despite recent rough outings, is eager to rebound. The goal? Balance rest and performance as they navigate this grueling schedule. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
