No 2B, no DH, no 5 spot in the rotation, and now no #2 starter. Lineup and rotation don't look so great now. Can't compete with many in the AL.

He led the league in ERA, innings pitched, strikeouts, ERA+ and whip that season.The Seattle Mariners signed him in the offseason after that season. While he wasn't the same dominant pitcher that won the Cy Young Award, he was still reliable. He finished last year with a 3.71 ERA in 189 innings.Pitchers Luis Castillo and Logan Gilbert will have to step up like never before. Castillo has looked great so far. He's 2-0 with a 1.52 ERA in five games. Gilbert hasn't looked his best, but his stuff is incredible. He's 1-1 with a 3.57 ERA in four games.It will be interesting to see how the Mariners navigate this substantial injury.
