Mariners Place Speier on IL, Activate Suarez and Simpson

Published May 4, 2026 · Updated May 5, 2026 · Yahoo Sport

The Seattle Mariners have placed left-handed pitcher Gabe Speier on the 15-day injured list due to left shoulder inflammation. The team has activated lefty José Suarez and selected Josh Simpson from Triple-A Tacoma to replace him.

Right-handed pitcher Cole Wilcox was optioned to Triple-A Tacoma to make room on the roster. Speier, 31, has struggled with his performance this season, with career-high expected metrics despite decent surface numbers.

Simpson, 28, has been recalled from Triple-A after a previous stint with the Mariners this season. The lefty possesses strikeout potential but has had issues with throwing strikes, which led to Wilcox's demotion as the team prioritizes command in their bullpen. newsindata.org
