Mariners' Emerson Hancock: Secures another quality start
Hancock allowed two runs on four hits and a walk while striking out six over six innings in a no-decision versus the Padres on Wednesday.
Hancock logged his third quality start in four outings this season. He was working a shutout through five innings, but Xander Bogaerts' tagged him for a two-run home run in the sixth, which was just the second long ball Hancock's yielded this season. He's showing breakout potential with a 2.28 ERA, 0.76 WHIP and 25:4 K:BB across 23.2 innings so far. Hancock is projected to make his next start at home versus the Athletics early next week.

Mariners' Emerson Hancock: Fans five in win
Hancock (2-1) allowed three runs on four hits and two walks while striking out five over five innings to earn the win Friday over the Astros.
The Mariners had a 3-0 lead after one inning, but Hancock gave it all back in the second on Christian Vazquez's three-run double. After that, Hancock settled in and got enough support to come away with his second win in three starts this season. The right-hander threw 56 of 88 pitches for strikes in this outing. While he missed out on a third straight quality start, he's still at a 2.04 ERA, 0.74 WHIP and 19:3 K:BB across 17.2 innings to begin the season. Hancock is tentatively lined up for a road start in San Diego in his next outing, and he should remain in the rotation at least until Bryce Miller (oblique) can debut.

Mariners' Emerson Hancock: Saddled with tough-luck loss
Hancock (1-1) took the loss against the Angels on Saturday, allowing one run on six hits and no walks while striking out five batters over 6.2 innings.
Hancock served up a leadoff home run to Zach Neto but bounced back by keeping the Angels off the scoreboard over the remainder of his outing. He tossed 58 of 82 pitches for strikes and induced 13 whiffs, but the Mariners' offense couldn't produce any runs -- largely due to Angels right fielder Jo Adell, who robbed Seattle of a homer on three different occasions. Despite the loss, this was another promising start for Hancock, who has now given up just one run across 12.2 frames while posting a 14:1 K:BB through two starts. He began the season in the rotation because of Bryce Miller's oblique strain and placement on the 15-day IL, but it's hard to see Hancock giving up his starting role if he continues to pitch anywhere near this well.

Mariners' Emerson Hancock: Flirts with perfection in win
Hancock (1-0) earned the win Sunday against the Guardians, allowing no runs on no hits and one walk in six innings. He struck out nine.
Hancock is taking Bryce Miller's (oblique) place in Seattle's starting rotation for the time being, and the former filled in admirably during his first turn through the rotation. Hancock set a career high in strikeouts Sunday, completely silencing the Cleveland bats in the hit column. The right-hander should be able to remain a starter for the Mariners for at least the next few weeks, and he figures to be a popular fantasy pickup ahead of his next scheduled start against the division-rival Angels.

Mariners' Emerson Hancock: Favorite for final rotation spot
Hancock is competing to open the regular season as the Mariners' fifth starter, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.
Per Kramer, Hancock currently has a "leg up" on Cooper Criswell to open the year in Seattle's rotation, with Bryce Miller (oblique) unlikely to be ready for Opening Day. The 26-year-old Hancock has made four appearances this spring, posting a 4.76 ERA with a 0.79 WHIP and 17 strikeouts across 11.1 innings. Hancock was the Mariners' primary swingman in 2025 as well, making 22 total appearances (16 starts). He finished the year with a 4.90 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 6.4 K/9 across 90 innings.

Mariners' Emerson Hancock: Sharp in second spring appearance
Hancock logged four strikeouts over 2.2 perfect innings in Saturday's Cactus League matchup against the Padres.
It was an encouraging showing from Hancock after he was charged with three earned runs in just 1.2 innings in his first spring outing. The right-hander filled a swingman role for Seattle in 2025, posting a 4.90 ERA over 90 regular-season innings and making 16 starts in 22 appearances. With Bryce Miller (side) again dealing with health concerns, there could be a spot for Hancock in the Opening Day rotation.

Mariners' Emerson Hancock: Entering spring as starting pitcher
Hancock will enter spring training as a starting pitcher, Adam Jude of the Seattle Times reports.
Hancock was moved to the bullpen last August, but with Logan Evans (elbow) out for the season, the Mariners want to have Hancock available to start, if needed. If the Mariners' rotation is healthy on Opening Day, Hancock will likely shift back to a relief role. He allowed four runs (two earned) with a 4:1 K:BB over 8.2 innings as a reliever in 2025.

Mariners' Emerson Hancock: Strong in spot start
Hancock allowed two hits and struck out seven without walking a batter over four scoreless innings in a no-decision versus the Rockies on Thursday.
Hancock got the spot start since Bryan Woo (pectoral) was unavailable. This was Hancock's first start since July 1, as he had served out of the bullpen since rejoining the Mariners at the start of September. He's on a 9.2-inning scoreless streak over his last five appearances. Hancock has a 4.90 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 64:31 K:BB through 90 innings across 22 appearances (16 starts) in the majors this season. If the 26-year-old is on the Mariners' postseason roster, he will likely be a multi-inning option out of the bullpen.

Mariners' Emerson Hancock: Getting start Thursday
Hancock will start Thursday's game against the Rockies, Andrew Destin of the Associated Press reports.
He's filling in for Bryan Woo (pectoral), who is having a start skipped. Hancock hasn't thrown more than two innings in an appearance since being moved to the bullpen in late August, so it will be a relatively abbreviated outing for the righty Thursday.

Mariners' Emerson Hancock: Back in majors as reliever
The Mariners recalled Hancock from Triple-A Tacoma on Wednesday.
Hancock recently moved to the bullpen at Tacoma and his stuff played up, as he averaged 97 miles per hour with his four-seamer and topped out at 99.1 mph. The righty will likely be used in low-leverage situations initially but could be entrusted with late-inning appearances before long if he gets off to a good start.

Mariners' Emerson Hancock: Moves to bullpen at Triple-A
Hancock has moved to the bullpen at Triple-A Tacoma and allowed one run on two hits and one walk over one inning of work in his first relief appearance there Wednesday.
The bottom-line results weren't there for Hancock, but he averaged 97.4 mph with his four-seamer in the outing. That's a substantial velocity uptick from the 94.7 mph he's averaged this season during his time as a starter with the Mariners. It's not clear whether this is a permanent move to the bullpen for Hancock, but he could turn into a weapon in relief with his stuff playing up in shorter bursts.

Mariners' Emerson Hancock: Sent to Tacoma
The Mariners optioned Hancock to Triple-A Tacoma on Wednesday.
Hancock will be sent back to the minors one day after allowing five runs over six innings in a loss to the Royals to push his ERA on the season to 5.47. The right-hander had been lined up to start Sunday against the Pirates, so the Mariners will need to find a replacement in the rotation for this weekend.

Mariners' Emerson Hancock: Handed fifth loss
Hancock (3-5) allowed five runs on seven hits and three walks while striking out one over six innings to take the loss Tuesday versus the Royals.
Hancock struggled early, allowing three runs over the first two innings. Salvador Perez added a two-run double in the fifth, which was too much for the Mariners to come back from. Hancock has lost three straight starts, allowing 16 runs over 15 innings with an 8:9 K:BB in that span. He's now at a 5.47 ERA, 1.44 WHIP and 53:30 K:BB across 77.1 innings over 15 starts this season. The right-hander is tentatively projected for a favorable home matchup against the Pirates this weekend.

Mariners' Emerson Hancock: Falls to Minnesota
Hancock (3-4) took the loss Thursday against the Twins, allowing two runs on three hits and three walks over five innings. He struck out two.
Hancock was sharp early, blanking Minnesota through his first four innings, before giving up a two-run homer to Trevor Larnach in the fifth. While Hancock would ultimately take a second straight loss, it was a good bounce-back effort after he gave up nine runs and four homers in his previous outing against the Cubs. Overall, Hancock sports a 5.30 ERA with a 1.42 WHIP and 52:27 K:BB across 14 starts (71.1 innings) this season. He's currently scheduled to face the Royals at home in his next start.
