Complete list of injured Mariners players and their status heading into the offseason

Now that the World Series is over, it's on to the offseason for Major League Baseball. For a handful of players on the Seattle Mariners' 40-man roster, it's a time for healing.

There's no getting around just how bad the Mariners had it with injuries this year. The starting lineup and the bullpen were hit especially hard, notably resulting in lost seasons for Brendan Donovan and Matt Brash. Cal Raleigh and Josh Naylor, meanwhile, played through injuries that necessitated surgery in early October.

Given all this, it's worth taking a closer look at Mariners players who were either injured at the end of the 2026 season or are recovering from surgery.

The Mariners players who are recovering from surgery during the offseason

• Cal Raleigh - shoulder
• Josh Naylor - wrist
• Colt Emerson - wrist
• Luke Raley - forearm
• Brock Rodden - knee
• Michael Toglia - shoulder
• Logan Evans - Internal brace surgery

Cal Raleigh and Josh Naylor

Naylor and Raleigh both had surgery at the University of Washington Medical Center on October 3. Raleigh had a left shoulder acromioclavicular debridement procedure. Naylor had triangular fibrocartilage complex repair surgery in his right wrist.

That these surgeries were necessary could explain why neither Raleigh nor Naylor carried as much freight on offense this year. Neither eclipsed a 100 OPS+ and they combined for just 33 home runs. Either way, the team said they are expected to be fully recovered for spring training.

Colt Emerson

The Mariners' 21-year-old shortstop had surgery to repair a displaced tendon in his left wrist in August, ending his season. As of September 23, GM Justin Hollander said Emerson was "doing well in his rehab" in Arizona.

Hollander said in August that he had "no concerns" about Emerson being ready for the 2020 season. That's not the same as being ready for spring training, so it's worth heeding MLB.com's Daniel Kramer's warning that Emerson may have to be monitored closely in spring training.

Luke Raley

As of that same September 23 update, Hollander said that Raley was set for "normal offseason rehab” after having surgery to repair the flexor tendon in his left forearm. He had the surgery in mid-August precisely because he didn't want to miss any time in 2027. Whether he's still with the Mariners come then, we'll see.

Brock Rodden

Rodden went on the IL late in September with a left knee issue, and ended up having surgery to repair scar tissue while also receiving a platelet rich plasma injection. He was set to resume baseball activities in eight to 10 weeks, meaning he still has a few weeks of recovery left. He may also have to be closely monitored during spring training.

Michael Toglia

Toglia, who was added in a waiver claim from the Cincinnati Reds in early October, had surgery to repair a torn labrum in August. His recovery timeline is unclear, though Adam Jude of The Seattle Times wrote on October 2 that Toglia is expected to compete for a bench spot in spring training "if healthy."

Logan Evans

Evans tore the UCL in his pitching arm and had an "internal brace" procedure last January, with an expected recovery timeline of 12 months. It's possible that he'll be able to pitch during spring training, though the Mariners have not given any indications that this will be the case.

Though Evans was widely reported to have had Tommy John surgery in January, it should be noted that an internal brace procedure is not the same thing.

The Mariners players who were injured at the end of 2026

• Brendan Donovan - concussion
• Emerson Hancock - adductor strain
• Andrés Muñoz - knee discomfort
• Matt Brash - lat strain
• Nick Davila - SC joint sprain
• Brennen Davis - hamstring/oblique strain
• Cole Wilcox - oblique strain

Brendan Donovan

Donovan suffered a concussion when he was hit in the head by a pitch while taking indoor batting practice on August 22. He continued to battle symptoms into late September, ultimately keeping him from playing again. He ended up missing 123 games.

Concussion-like symptoms have been known to linger, but the Mariners aren't sounding that alarm yet. As of September 23, Hollander was hopeful that Donovan would be "healthy and ready to do normal baseball activities" during the offseason.

Emerson Hancock

Hancock suffered his adductor injury on August 28 while fielding a ground ball up the first base line. He ended up missing the rest of the season, though Hollander wasn't ruling out a return in a limited capacity in the final week of the regular season. He should be good to go for spring training.

Andrés Muñoz

Muñoz had to leave an appearance on September 20 and ended up going on the IL five days later. He did have imaging, though, and it revealed “nothing serious, nothing structurally concerning,” according to Hollander. He should also be good to go next spring.

Matt Brash

Brash's lat sent him to the IL twice this season, and the second stint ended his season after just 20 appearances. He received a platelet rich plasma injection, and Hollander said on September 23 that he was expected to start his normal offseason program “something like eight weeks after the season." Another MRI is likely to be necessary to make sure he's healing well.

So, expect another update on him shortly before the CBA expires and MLB goes into a lockout on December 1.

Nick Davila, Cole Wilcox and Brennen Davis

All three are on the Mariners' 40-man roster, yet each is projected to have to earn a spot on the 26-man roster come spring training. Fortunately for them, none of their injuries are likely to make that more difficult.

As of September 27, Davis was rehabbing in Arizona and Davila was slated to do the same. As of September 23, Wilcox was "recovering well" and went into the final weekend of the regular season with hopes of getting back on a mound.
