Why it matters: Injuries to Matt Brash and Cooper Criswell have thinned the bullpen to seven arms, pushing the front office toward relief help. Seattle has also fielded catcher offers as it looks to reshape the roster before the deadline.
By the numbers: Mariners are 47-51, going 3-2 over their last five games with a two-game skid. They're averaging 4.0 runs scored and 3.8 allowed this season.
