## Resource

The Mariners are testing a risky piggyback pitching experiment with Luis Castillo and Bryce Miller, hoping to ease bullpen strain while managing a crowded rotation — but messy execution and player frustration have exposed flaws in the plan. After a behind-the-scenes meeting with GMs, the team is tweaking the setup: Miller starts May 31, Castillo comes in relief — hoping clarity and chemistry can fix what should’ve been sorted before launch.
