## Resource

The Mariners’ offense is in deep trouble against left-handed pitching, ranking dead last in the AL with a brutal .211 batting average and .626 OPS — a glaring weakness that could derail their playoff hopes. But on the pitching side, bright futures are brewing: top prospect Kade Anderson is untouchable, tossing 27.2 scoreless innings, while Ryan Sloan is right behind him. Both are being carefully developed in Double-A to avoid the hitter-friendly PCL, with a cautious plan to bring them up later this summer. Meanwhile, Bryce Miller has been a standout in the rotation, posting a stellar 1.58 ERA over 40 innings. And in other news, former Mariner Jarred Kelenic has been called up by the Rangers after a strong stint in Triple-A — a reminder that former prospects can still find their footing elsewhere.
