Garver had a $12 million mutual option for 2026, but he will instead be paid $1 million and become a free agent. It was a rough stretch for Garver as a Mariner, hitting .187/.290/.341 in 720 plate appearances with 24 home runs and a nearly 30 percent strikeout rate over two seasons. He might find a bidder as a potential designated hitter.

The Mariners are using the same lineup they did in Game 2 against Skubal, with Dominic Canzone sitting against the lefty. Garver went 1-for-3 in that game, which proved to be a 3-2 victory for the Mariners. The full lineup: LF Randy Arozarena, C Cal Raleigh, CF Julio Rodríguez, 2B Jorge Polanco, 3B Eugenio Suárez, 1B Josh Naylor, DH Garver, RF Victor Robles, SS J.P. Crawford.

Garver came up huge with a go-ahead homer off Connor Brogdon to give Seattle the 2-1 lead and ultimately the win in the seventh inning. The 34-year-old backstop has nine homers on the year, and he’s become nothing more than a backup backstop at this stage of his career. Tonight, however, he helped Seattle win their seventh-straight game and remain tied for first place with the Astros.

Garver bashed a solo homer off Bennett Sousa to give Seattle a 2-0 lead in the seventh inning. He’s homered just six times, but has been making more hard contact over the past few weeks. He just isn’t getting enough playing time to consider him in anything but two-catcher leagues.

Garver got the Mariners on the board and tied the game at one run apiece with an RBI single off of Jack Leiter in the sixth inning that plated Randy Arozarena. He then drove in Arozarena once again in the 10th inning with an RBI knock that extended the M’s advantage to 3-1. The 34-year-old backstop finally put the game out of reach with a 437-foot (108.7 mph EV) two-run shot off of Cole Winn in the 12th inning. With this three-hit attack, Garver is now slashing .227/.327/.352 with four homers and 20 RBI on the season.

The ball seemed to hit just inside his face mask and caught Garver flush on the chin/jaw area. He’ll undergo additional imaging on Thursday, the results of which aren’t expected to be known until Friday. Harry Ford was subsequently scratched from his game at Triple-A Tacoma on Friday and would be an option to join the M’s on Friday if Garver is forced to land on the injured list.

Garver tried to regain his composure and stay in the game, but it clearly wasn’t going to happen. He’ll likely have to clear through the league’s concussion protocol before he’s able to return to game action. Expect the Mariners to provide an update on his status after the game concludes.

This is what the Mariners were envisioning when they offered Garver a two-year, $24 million contract to serve as a DH and a backup to Cal Raleigh; the duo combined for four homers today. They now have 32 homers between them this season! Alas, 29 of those do belong to Raleigh, as Garver has slipped into a platoon role against lefties while batting .216/.321/.319. Garver’s second homer today was the 100th of his career.

Garver reached on an infield single and scored a run as part of the Mariners’ three-run uprising in the fourth inning. He then delivered a run-scoring single of his own off of Michael King in the sixth that increased the M’s lead to 4-1. With the two-hit attack, the 34-year-old backstop is now hitting .214/.353/.271 with just one homer, seven RBI and a pair of stolen bases in his first 85 plate appearances.
