LOS ANGELES – The Los Angeles Dodgers acquired right-handed pitcher Griff McGarry from the Philadelphia Phillies for international pool money.

McGarry, 26, was selected by the Washington Nationals in the Rule 5 Draft on December 10, 2024, but was returned to Philadelphia at the conclusion of Spring Training. He went 0-0 with a 3.18 ERA in six Grapefruit League games with the Nationals. He has made five appearances for Triple-A Lehigh Valley this year, allowing four runs over four innings. In six minor league seasons, he is 10-17 with a 4.21 ERA in 291 innings and has 424 strikeouts against 209 walks while limiting hitters to a .182 batting average. He was originally drafted in the fifth round of the 2021 First Year Player Draft out of the University of Virginia.

• Selected right-handed pitcher Jack Anderson to the active Major League roster. He will wear number 77.

• Optioned left-handed pitcher Tyler Samaniego to Triple-A Worcester following last night’s game against the Minnesota Twins.

• Transferred right-handed pitcher Johan Oviedo to the 60-Day Injured List.

Anderson, 26, has made two starts with Triple-A Worcester this year, going 1-0 with a 3.72 ERA (4 ER/9.2 IP), three walks and nine strikeouts. The right-hander posted a 4.57 ERA (44 ER/86.2 IP), 22 walks, and 101 strikeouts in 26 games (seven starts) last year between Double-A Portland (23 games, four starts) and Triple-A Worcester (three starts). Originally signed by the Detroit Tigers as a 16^th-round selection in the 2021 First-Year Player Draft, the Georgia native was selected by the Red Sox in the Triple-A Phase of the 2024 Rule 5 Draft and owns a 4.20 ERA (132 ER/282.2 IP) with 288 strikeouts in 146 career minor league games (10 starts).

Samaniego, 27, tossed the final 2.0 innings of last night’s game against the Twins, retiring all six batters he faced. The left-hander has made three scoreless appearances this season, including his Major League debut on April 8, totaling 3.2 innings with no hits allowed, three walks, and four strikeouts. Originally selected by the Pittsburgh Pirates in the 15^th round of the 2021 First-Year Player Draft, the Alabama native was acquired by the Red Sox via trade in December 2025 and owns a 3.80 ERA (69 ER/163.1 IP) in 130 career minor league games (two starts).

Oviedo, 28, was placed on the 15-Day Injured List on April 3 (retroactive to March 31) with a right elbow strain. The right-hander made his Red Sox debut on March 30 at Houston, pitching 3.2 innings in relief. Originally signed by the St. Louis Cardinals as a non-drafted free agent in July 2016, the Cuba native owns a 4.29 ERA (174 ER/364.2 IP) in 82 career Major League games (67 starts) for the Cardinals (2020-22), Pirates (2022-25), and Red Sox.

Outfielder Rob Refsnyder placed on Paternity List

SAN DIEGO – Seattle Mariners Executive Vice President & General Manager of Baseball Operations Justin Hollander announced today the following roster moves:

• Patrick Wisdom (#35), INF, selected from Triple-A Tacoma.
• Rob Refsnyder, INF/OF, placed on Paternity List.
• Blas Castaño, RHP, designated for assignment.

Wisdom, 34, leads all of Minor League Baseball this season with 9 home runs. In 15 games with Triple-A Tacoma, he’s batting .264 (14×53) with 11 runs, 9 homers, 17 RBI and 9 walks, getting on base at a .371 clip, slugging .774 with a 1.145 OPS in 62 plate appearances.

When Wisdom first appears in a game, it will mark his regular season Mariners debut. The infielder spent parts of 2020 in the Mariners organization after he signed with Seattle on Nov. 27, 2019. He appeared at Mariners Spring Training in 2020, and also the Mariners alternate training site that year, before he was released on Aug. 14, 2020.

In parts of 7 Major League seasons with the Cardinals (2018), Rangers (2019) and Cubs (2020-24), Wisdom is a .209 hitter (274×1311) with 192 runs, 58 doubles, 3 triples, 88 home runs, 207 RBI and 132 walks, slugging .459 with a .750 OPS. He registered three 20+ home run seasons with the Cubs from 2021-23. In 2025, Wisdom played for the Kia Tigers in South Korea, registering 35 homers and 85 RBI in 119 games.

Wisdom has participated in charitable causes off the field, which includes supporting St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. Wisdom was the Cubs “Roberto Clemente Award” nominee in 2024.

Refsnyder, 35, signed a 1-year Major League contract with the Mariners on Dec. 22, 2025. He’s appeared in 8 games for Seattle early-on, going hitless in 16 at-bats with 3 walks. Refsnyder has appeared in parts of 11 Major League seasons with the Yankees (2015-17), Blue Jays (2017), Rays (2018), Rangers (2020), Twins (2021), Red Sox (2022-25) and Mariners (2026-c).

Castaño (cah-STAHN-yo), 27, was designated for assignment to clear room on the 40-man roster for Wisdom. In one relief appearance for the Mariners last season, he tossed 3.0 innings and allowed 3 runs with 1 strikeout. Castaño was selected to the 40-man roster on Nov. 4, 2024.

First pitch is scheduled for 9:40 p.m. ET
Venue: Petco Park, San Diego, California
TV/Streaming: Padres.TV Presented by UC San Diego Health (Padres), Mariners.TV (Mariners); radio on KWFN 97.3 FM / XEMO 860 AM (SD) and Seattle Sports 710 AM (SEA)

Series: First of a three-game set (Mariners at Padres April 14-16) — opening 2026 matchup between the clubs.

Weather Update

Game-time conditions at Petco Park (open-air) are forecast to be mild and clear, with temperatures around 65°F, humidity in the 70% range, and west-northwest winds at 11-12 mph. There is a 0% chance of precipitation. These evening conditions should play neutral-to-slightly pitcher-friendly at Petco (a park known for suppressing offense), with the total set around 7 runs. Light winds may keep fly balls in check, favoring strong starting pitching.

Team Records & Recent Form

Mariners (8-9, 3rd in AL West, 1.5 GB, 1-5 away): Seattle is 5-5 in its last 10 games. The offense has shown improvement lately (winning three straight vs. Houston: 6-2, 6-1, 8-7), but road struggles remain an issue. They rank lower in runs scored overall but boast elite pitching peripherals.

Padres (10-6, 2nd in NL West, 2.0 GB, 6-4 home): San Diego is rolling at 8-2 in its last 10, including a four-game sweep of Colorado (7-2, 9-5, 5-2, 7-3). They’ve been strong at home and rank well in scoring (4.63 runs/game in recent contexts), though the bullpen has been tested.

Injury Report

Mariners (rotation and lineup depth impacted):

Miles Mastrobuoni (INF/3B) — 10-day IL (calf strain).

Bryce Miller (SP) — 15-day IL (oblique inflammation).

Victor Robles (OF/RF) — 10-day IL (pectoral strain).

Carlos Vargas (RP) — 60-day IL (lat strain).

Logan Evans (SP) — 60-day IL (Tommy John surgery; out for season).

Padres (bullpen and rotation thinned):

Yuki Matsui (LHP) — 15-day IL (groin strain).

Jeremiah Estrada (RP) — 15-day IL (elbow tendinitis).

Joe Musgrove (SP) — 15-day IL (elbow).

Will Wagner (INF) — 10-day IL (oblique).

Bryan Hoeing (RP) — 15-day IL (elbow).

Additional earlier notes: Jason Adam (RP) on IL previously.

Both teams are shorthanded in pitching depth, but Seattle’s absences hit the rotation harder while San Diego’s affect the bullpen and bench.

Probable Pitchers & Key Player Matchups

Mariners: RHP Bryan Woo (0-1, 1.50 ERA, 0.78 WHIP, 17 K, 0 HR in 18.0 IP)
Woo has been dominant early with elite command and no homers allowed. He’s 3-0 with a 2.33 ERA in 19.1 career IP vs. the Padres.

Padres: RHP Michael King (1-1, 3.24 ERA, 1.20 WHIP, 15 K in 16.2 IP)
King brings solid stuff but has a 0-3 career mark vs. Seattle (though 2.76 ERA in 16.1 IP). He’ll need to limit damage against a Mariners lineup that can capitalize on mistakes.

Key Position Player Matchups/Notes (based on career/history vs. opposing pitcher):

Padres threats vs. Woo: Fernando Tatis Jr. (strong .333+ OPS history vs. Woo in limited ABs); other power bats looking to break through.

Mariners threats vs. King: Cal Raleigh (hot .956 OPS vs. King in small sample); Julio Rodríguez (though lower AVG historically).

Overall edge: Slight pitching advantage to Seattle with Woo’s microscopic early ERA and history vs. San Diego. Petco’s dimensions favor the better command pitcher.

Series History

This is the clubs’ first meeting of 2026. All-time, the Mariners hold a modest edge (approximately 73-64). In recent full seasons, results have been split (e.g., SEA took 5-1 in 2025, 3-1 in 2024), with no overwhelming home/away dominance. The Padres will look to leverage their current hot streak at Petco.

Betting Trends

Mariners are strong when their starter posts sub-2.00 ERA early; Padres are 8-2 lately but unders have hit in several home games with quality pitching. Road favorites with elite young arms like Woo have value, while Petco nights suppress totals.

Game Odds

Seattle Mariners              – 122

San Diego Padres             7

First pitch is scheduled for 8:10 p.m. ET (7:10 p.m. CT)
Venue: Daikin Park, Houston, Texas
TV/Streaming: Space City Home Network (Astros), Rockies.TV / MLB.TV; radio on KTRH 740 AM / 99.1 FM (HOU) and KOA 850 AM / 94.1 FM (COL)

Series: First of a three-game set (Rockies at Astros April 14-16) — first 2026 matchup between the clubs (Astros host after Rockies swept the most recent series in Denver).

Weather Update

Daikin Park features a retractable roof that will be closed for this contest, creating fully controlled indoor conditions (approximately 72-76°F with no wind or precipitation impact). Outside temperatures in Houston are forecast in the upper 70s to low 80s with light winds, but the dome eliminates any weather variables. Expect a neutral hitting environment with the total set at 8.5 runs — typical for early-season play in a pitcher-friendly indoor setting.

Team Records & Recent Form

Rockies (6-10, 5th in NL West, 2-8 away): Colorado has been streaky, sitting at .375 overall and on a four-game losing skid entering play. They rank near the bottom in several offensive categories but showed life in the recent Denver series sweep of Houston (9-1, 5-1, 9-7). Road woes persist, with the bullpen and consistency remaining major issues.

Astros (6-11, 5th in AL West, 5-2 home): Houston has struggled mightily of late (0-5 in its last five games) despite a solid home record. The offense has been inconsistent, and the team sits near the bottom of the AL in several categories. They return home after the Denver sweep looking to reverse momentum.

Injury Report

Rockies (rotation and outfield depth hit hard):

Jose Quintana (SP) — 15-day IL (strained right hamstring).

Jared Thomas (CF) — 7-day IL.

Kyle Freeland (SP) — day-to-day (left shoulder soreness; scratched from recent start).

Longer-term: McCade Brown (SP, 60-day IL), Case Williams (SP, 60-day IL).

Astros (significant position-player and rotation losses):

Jake Meyers (OF) — 10-day IL (oblique).

Jeremy Peña (SS) — 10-day IL (knee/hamstring).

Zach Dezenzo (INF) — 10-day IL (elbow).

Hunter Brown (SP) — 15-day IL (shoulder).

Bennett Sousa (RP) — 15-day IL.

Both teams are dealing with thin pitching and lineup depth, but Houston’s absences in the middle infield and outfield are particularly noticeable.

Probable Pitchers & Key Player Matchups

Rockies: RHP Michael Lorenzen (1-1, 8.36 ERA, 2.14 WHIP, 10 K in 14.0 IP)
Lorenzen has been hit hard early (26 hits allowed), though he held the Astros to one run in 5.2 IP during the recent series. This is a tough road spot in a dome against a lineup hungry for offense.

Astros: LHP Colton Gordon (#61, 1-0 or 0-0, 1.69 ERA in early action, strong peripherals)
Gordon, a promising young lefty, brings electric stuff and low walk rates into his early-season starts. He draws a favorable matchup against a Rockies offense that has struggled on the road.

Key Position Player Matchups/Notes (based on recent trends):

Astros threats vs. Lorenzen: Yordan Alvarez (power bat in the heart of the order), plus contributions from the middle of the lineup looking to break the skid.

Rockies threats vs. Gordon: T.J. Rumfield (.308 BA, leading the club), Cam Smith (12-for-37 with extra-base hits recently), and Mickey Moniak (seeking first homer at Daikin Park).

Overall edge: Clear pitching advantage to Houston with Gordon’s strong early numbers versus Lorenzen’s inflated ERA.

Series History

This opens the 2026 season series. Historically, the Astros lead the all-time series (approximately 110-90 range), but the Rockies swept the most recent three-game set in Denver (April 6-8, 2026). No dominant trend in Houston recently, though the home club has performed better in dome conditions.

Betting Trends

Astros are 3-7 as favorites this season and 0-5 lately overall; totals have gone OVER in 5 of Houston’s last 7 home games. Road dogs like the Rockies have cashed in spots against slumping favorites, but the pitching mismatch favors the home side.

Game Odds

Colorado Rockies             8.5

Houston Astros                 – 194
