Seattle Mariners Make Roster Moves, Add Curtis Washington Jr. from High-A Everett

Seattle Mariners Executive Vice President & General Manager Justin Hollander announced several roster moves, including the selection of outfielder Curtis Washington Jr. from High-A Everett. Washington Jr., 26, will make his Major League debut if he appears in a game. He is currently batting .190 with 8 doubles, 7 home runs, 22 RBI, 14 stolen bases, and 17 walks in 44 games for High-A Everett this season. Washington Jr. was originally drafted by the Seattle Mariners in the 19th round of the 2022 MLB First-Year Player Draft. He has appeared in center and left field, as well as the designated hitter this season for the Aquasox. In his minor league career, Washington Jr. is batting .219 with 37 doubles, 8 triples, 12 home runs, 97 RBI, 82 stolen bases, and 95 walks in 5 seasons with the Seattle organization. Randy Arozarena, 31, was placed on the 10-day Injured List with a left hamstring strain, retroactive to June 13.

He has appeared in 285 games with Seattle since 2024, batting .250 with 174 runs, 64 doubles, 2 triples, 39 homers, 132 RBI, 54 steals, and 120 walks.

Will Wilson, 27, was transferred to the 60-day Injured List with a fractured left thumb. Wilson has appeared in 2 games with Seattle, batting .200 with 1 home run and 2 RBI.
