Lazaro Montes Has Memorable Debut with Homer, 2 RBIs as Mariners End Skid with 9-6 Win over Red Sox
Montes arrives after hitting 38 home runs and posting a .928 OPS in the minors, giving Seattle another power option for a struggling lineup.
- On Tuesday, the Seattle Mariners promoted outfielder Lazaro Montes and pitcher Hoby Milner to the 28-man active roster, with Montes making his MLB debut at Fenway Park against the Boston Red Sox.
- Montes earned his call-up after hitting 38 home runs with a.928 OPS in 122 games between Double-A Arkansas and Triple-A Tacoma, producing a 94.9 mph average exit velocity and 57.5 percent hard-hit rate.
- With a 64-74 record and 5.5 games behind the final AL Wild Card spot, the Mariners seek an offensive spark; Montes effectively replaces Luke Raley, who suffered a season-ending forearm injury.
- To address bullpen struggles, Seattle signed pitcher Hoby Milner to a minor-league contract on August 31 after relief pitchers Eduard Bazardo and Jose Ferrer struggled recently.
- Short-Term success could bolster Montes's chances of making the 2027 roster, as general manager Justin Hollander stated the organization aims to amplify the slugger's natural strengths rather than force changes to his approach.
