Those placed on the IL were right-handers Robert Dugger, Will Vest and Drew Steckenrider, and left-hander Anthony Misiewicz. Asked if this might prompt more players to get vaccinated, Servais said: “I don't know. ... We're not out of the woods yet in this particular instance.”As planned, the Mariners activated right-hander Keynan Middleton (strained right biceps) from the 10-day IL. Servais said the Mariners “are trending in the right direction but we've still got a ways to go."
