PEORIA, Ariz. -- It’s been nearly one month since Mariners pitchers and catchers reported to Spring Training, and with a few personnel developments in camp, it seemed like a ripe time to revisit what Seattle’s Opening Day roster might look like.

George Kirby has been shut down with inflammation in his pitching shoulder and will likely begin the season on the 15-day injured list. Jorge Polanco saw his first action in the field on Saturday against the Cubs, creating a little more clarity at third base. And second base has seen an interesting development, too.

Catcher (2): Cal Raleigh, Mitch Garver
The Mariners are again banking on Raleigh’s durability, and he enters the year earmarked for a vast majority of the catching reps. Garver was forced into the backup role after Seattle made additions at the Trade Deadline, but he could also see regular action at DH. That would then leave the Mariners in need of another catcher, and manager Dan Wilson has hinted throughout camp that they don't intend to carry three.

First baseman (2): Luke Raley, Donovan Solano
Solano was the Mariners’ most notable external addition in this otherwise quiet offseason. Signed to a one-year, $3.5 million contract, the 37-year-old can also play third base and probably will at times if Polanco needs to continue to be eased into action. He’ll supplement Raley, who was arguably the Mariners’ best addition from the 2023-24 offseason but who is also more comfortable in the outfield.

Second baseman (2): Ryan Bliss
Dylan Moore looked like the clear favorite for the full-time gig, but the Mariners have also hinted that they may prefer him in the super utility role that he’s held for years. He’s also off to a 1-for-20 start this spring. Bliss, meanwhile, has been one of Seattle’s more productive players in camp, going 6-for-18, while making seven starts at second base. Leo Rivas is also in the mix, if not at this specific position then across the diamond altogether, and his switch-hit tool gives him more roster value.

Third baseman (2): Jorge Polanco
Polanco has been limited due to offseason surgery on his left knee but has been going through fielding drills -- just not in actual games until Saturday, when Wilson reiterated that the veteran should be fine to regularly start at the hot corner by Opening Day. And if the Mariners need to continue easing him into action, they have supplemental infield options.

Shortstop (1): J.P. Crawford
Crawford did not mince words in his self-assessment of 2024, when he was limited to 105 games and hit just .202. But both he and the Mariners are confident in his ability to put multiple injuries behind him and steer back in the direction of ’23, when he was arguably Seattle’s most consistently productive player.

Utility: Dylan Moore, Miles Mastrobuoni
Moore has played every position but catcher during his six seasons in Seattle. Mastrobuoni has played second and third base and two outfield spots in Cactus League play, suggesting that the Mariners want to get him reps at multiple spots. His left-handed bat could also be valuable off the bench.

Outfielders (3): Julio Rodríguez, Randy Arozarena, Victor Robles
The Mariners believe they have the makings of one of the most athletic outfields in baseball, supplemented by pairing their young cornerstone with two key midseason additions. Robles was outstanding, but it might be a stretch to expect identical production from what was a borderline career year. Arozarena admittedly struggled to adjust to the new environment at first but felt much more at home by season’s end. And Rodríguez will again be the lineup’s most important player.

Designated hitter (1): Mitch Haniger
Garver will also be prominently used here, too, as will Raley, Solano and a mix of others. But Haniger, who is earning $15.5 million, and as such is unlikely to be designated for assignment, also needs somewhere to play.

Starting pitchers (5): RHP Luis Castillo, RHP Logan Gilbert, RHP Bryce Miller, RHP Bryan Woo, RHP Emerson Hancock
The change here is inserting Hancock for Kirby, who must ramp back up once he’s cleared to begin throwing again. Mariners general manager Justin Hollander suggested it’ll be a recovery of weeks and not days. Essentially, Hancock returns to the role he held last year, when he was an injury fill-in for Woo twice then Castillo, for a total of 12 starts.

Relievers (8): RHP Andrés Muñoz, RHP Gregory Santos, RHP Collin Snider, RHP Trent Thornton, RHP Eduard Bazardo, LHP Tayler Saucedo, LHP Gabe Speier, RHP Seth Martinez
This group will also at some point feature young righties Matt Brash (Tommy John surgery) and Troy Taylor (right lat strain). The new addition is Martinez, who was claimed off waivers from the Marlins on March 2 and is expected to fill a mid-leverage role.
