Bryce Miller will start Sunday while Luis Castillo will again pitch in a piggyback role for Seattle. After Friday’s game versus the Diamondbacks, the Mariners face 16 games in 17 days, prompting a return to a six-man rotation to manage workload. The rotation plan will be re-evaluated on June 15, with continued use possible if Seattle avoids another piggyback setup using two starters. Miller and Castillo previously expressed dissatisfaction about communication, but manager Dan Wilson, pitching coach Pete Woodworth, president of baseball operations Jerry Dipoto, and GM Justin Hollander met with them to align expectations. Emerson Hancock’s breakout season has created six viable starters and workload-management complexity, though the team views additional pitching depth as beneficial for a deeper playoff run.
