Mariners bullpen shuffle continues

Domingo González’s Mariners call-up ended in disaster after giving up a grand slam, instantly kicking him off the 40-man roster — a brutal setback for a pitcher trying to prove himself. Enter Michael Rucker, a local kid with MLB experience who’s now filling the bullpen void. His ERA isn’t flashy, but he’s exactly the kind of arm the Mariners need right now — especially with injuries and an extra starter tying up roster spots. This feels like last year’s Casey Lawrence shuffle: middle relief is temporary, and the next guy’s waiting in line. Expect more roster shuffling until the pitching staff stabilizes or starters can go deeper. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
