Julio Rodríguez worked out Friday and could be activated Saturday if he passes final medical checks, Mariners general manager Justin Hollander said.
- The Seattle Mariners expect center fielder Julio Rodríguez to return to the lineup Saturday against the San Francisco Giants, ending his concussion injured list stint that began July 3.

- After reporting a positive shift early this week, Rodríguez participated in pregame drills and base running, prompting General manager Justin Hollander to say he is feeling "super encouraged" about his progress.
- Hollander stated the team will evaluate Rodríguez's readiness for activation following full pregame participation, saying, "We need to check every box before he gets out here and plays a major league game."
- Before the injury, Rodríguez hit.259 with 14 home runs and 40 RBIs, providing a critical boost for a Mariners squad that entered the weekend with a 48-49 record.
