Takes loss Wednesday Dugger (0-1) was tagged with the loss Wednesday against the Athletics after giving up five runs on five hits and three walks while fanning one across 3.1 innings.

Impact Dugger got the nod in Wednesday's bullpen game, but the results weren't encouraging and he couldn't even get out of the fourth inning -- though he wasn't expected to work deep into the game in the first place after tossing 22 pitches in relief last Sunday. Dugger has now allowed runs in each of his last three appearances and has seen his ERA to 6.06 as a result.

Kaprielian tosses 7 scoreless innings, A’s beat Mariners 6-3

James Kaprielian pitched seven scoreless innings and the Oakland Athletics beat the Seattle Mariners 6-3 to avoid a three-game sweep

Gets nod in bullpen game Manager Scott Servais said Dugger would start Wednesday's game in Oakland in what amounts to a bullpen game for the Mariners, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

Impact Dugger tossed 22 pitches over an inning of relief Sunday, so the Mariners likely won't be inclined to have him work especially deep into his start Wednesday. Yohan Ramirez has the freshest arm among the Mariners' bullpen options, so he could be a candidate to fill multiple innings behind Dugger if Seattle doesn't call up another pitcher from the minors prior to Wednesday's contest.

Goes back to bullpen Dugger pitched the seventh inning of Sunday's 9-2 loss to the Padres, giving up four runs (three earned) on two hits and a walk while striking out two.

Impact The right-hander made a spot start for Seattle on March 16, but both of his last two appearances have come out of the bullpen. He appears set to stick in a low-leverage relief role for the foreseeable future, as Marco Gonzales (forearm) looks to be nearing a return to Seattle's six-man rotation.

Positive test leads Mariners to place 4 on COVID-19 IL

Four Seattle relievers were placed on the COVID-19 injured list after the Mariners reported a positive test within the team

MAY 22, 2021 • Associated Press

On COVID IL Dugger was placed on the injured list due to a potential positive COVID-19 test to a member of the Mariners' pitching staff.

Impact Anthony Misiewicz, Drew Steckenrider and Will Vest were placed on the IL in the same flurry of moves, so one of the four tested positive for COVID-19 and the others are being held out due to contact tracing. Several pitchers from Triple-A were recalled in corresponding moves.

Fires three scoreless innings Dugger pitched the first three innings Sunday, allowing a walk while striking out four in the win over Cleveland. He did not factor into the decision.

Impact Dugger got his first start of the season Sunday and he did not allow a hit through three innings. The 25-year-old has a 1.64 ERA and a 0.82 WHIP in 11 innings this season. He allowed runs in only one appearance this year. The pitcher is proving why he should remain in the Mariners' bullpen permanently and he could see more high-leverage innings because of his recent performance.

Gets starting nod Sunday Dugger will start a bullpen game for Seattle against Cleveland on Sunday, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

Impact The Mariners have stuck with a six-man rotation in the absence of Marco Gonzales (forerarm), with a rotating cast of characters filling Gonzales' spot. Dugger will be the latest to take the ball in what will be his second career start. The right-hander is off to a nice start to his Mariners career (2.25 ERA, 1.00 WHIP), but he has not thrown more than three innings in an appearance this season, and that trend will likely continue Sunday.

Sheffield, Mariners relievers shut down Angels for 2-0 win

Justus Sheffield shook off early control problems to allow just two hits over six innings, leading the Seattle Mariners to a 2-0 win over the Los Angeles Angels

Put right to work upon arrival Dugger fired two scoreless innings in a loss to the Astros on Monday, allowing two hits while not issuing any walks or recording any strikeouts.

Impact Dugger was able to preserve some of his fellow relievers' arms by handling the final pair of frames after being recalled from the alternate training site earlier in the day. The 25-year-old was making his Mariners regular-season debut and could stick as a multi-inning option out of the bullpen for the time being, but he's likely to handle mostly low-leverage work.

Called up by Seattle Dugger was recalled by the Mariners on Monday.

Impact Dugger joined the major-league club as the 27th man for a doubleheader in mid-April, but he'll now rejoin the bullpen after left-hander Nick Margevicius (shoulder) was placed on the 10-day injured list Monday. Dugger made four appearances (one start) for Miami last year and posted a 12.66 ERA and 2.25 WHIP in 10.2 innings.

Impact He was cast off the 40-man roster in February but is back to add bullpen depth for a day. Dugger could be designated for assignment again the next time Seattle needs to add someone to the 40-man roster.
