Miller (4-9) took the loss Tuesday, surrendering four runs on four hits and three walks over 3.2 innings against Texas. He struck out six.
The right-hander was scored upon in three of the four frames he pitched as he remains without a win in his past 10 outings. Miller has a 6.89 ERA, 1.65 WHIP and 39:24 K:BB across 49.2 innings during that span and has also failed to last five frames in any of his past four starts. A road matchup versus the A's at hitter-friendly Sacramento is likely on tap for his next turn through the rotation.

Mariners' Stuart Fairchild: Designated for assignment

The Mariners designated Fairchild for assignment Tuesday.
Fairchild's stint in the majors lasted just five days after his contract was selected by Seattle on Thursday. Victor Robles will replace Fairchild on the active roster, in his return from the Family Medical Emergency List. The 30-year-old did not appear in any games for the Mariners and will look to find a new team once he clears waivers.

Mariners' Troy Taylor: Sent to Tacoma
Rotowire
Seattle optioned Taylor to Triple-A Tacoma on Tuesday.
Taylor did not appear in any games since being called up Friday, and will quickly make his return to Tacoma on Tuesday. The 24-year-old owns a 4.99 ERA, 1.76 WHIP and 60:35 K:BB over 52.1 innings in Triple-A this season. With Hoby Milner coming back from the Family Medical Emergency List, he will replace Taylor on the active roster.

Mariners' Lazaro Montes: Back in lineup
Rotowire
Montes (hip) will serve as the designated hitter and bat eighth Tuesday against the Rangers.
Montes entered each of Seattle's last two games off the bench after suffering a hip injury Friday, and he's now feeling well enough to return to the starting nine for Tuesday's series opener. The 21-year-old homered in his MLB debut last Tuesday but has since gone just 1-for-10 with an RBI and six strikeouts in four contests.
Munoz pitched a perfect inning and struck out one to earn the save in Sunday's 2-0 win over the Athletics.
Munoz finished the job after Bryan Woo's eight innings of one-hit ball. A rough end to August saw Munoz work in non-save situations for his first two games in September, and he's started the month with 2.2 perfect innings. He's had his share of struggles with a 4.13 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 83:20 K:BB through 52.1 innings this season, and he has converted 25 of 34 save chances.

Mariners' Bryan Woo: Spins gem Sunday
Rotowire
Woo (11-9) allowed one hit and two walks while striking out nine over eight shutout innings to earn the win over the Athletics on Sunday.
Woo has made some improvements on the road since the start of August, and he was able to take that momentum back home this time. He threw 73 of 102 pitches for strikes in his best and longest start of the season. This was the fifth time this year (fourth at home) in which he's covered at least seven scoreless innings while allowing four or fewer baserunners. Woo has a 4.03 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 158:33 K:BB through 156.1 innings over 27 starts on the year. His next outing is expected to be a rematch versus the Athletics in Sacramento, which is a bit concerning given Woo's 5.63 ERA on the road this year.
The Mariners transferred Davila (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Sunday.
Davila's initial placement on the shelf was retroactive to Aug. 31, so his move to the 60-day IL will officially bring an end to his season. Before going down with an SC joint sprain in his right shoulder, Davila made 24 appearances out of the Seattle bullpen and submitted a 4.94 ERA and 1.35 WHIP across 27.1 innings.

Mariners' Patrick Wisdom: Dispatched to minor leagues
Rotowire
The Mariners optioned Wisdom to Triple-A Tacoma on Sunday.
Wisdom will give up his spot on the 28-man active roster to outfielder/infielder Michael Arroyo, who was called up from Tacoma. Over two separate stints in the majors this season, Wisdom has slashed just .106/.160/.191 with 21 strikeouts in 50 plate appearances.

Mariners' Taylor Ward: Falls into platoon role
Rotowire
Ward is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics.
Following the recent promotion of Lazaro Montes (hip) to the big leagues, Ward appears to have faded into a short-side platoon role. Each of Ward's last four starts have come against left-handed pitching, and the Mariners have kept him on the bench for three consecutive matchups with righties. Since being acquired from the Orioles on Aug. 3, Ward has slashed just .105/.200/.132 with one extra-base hit (a triple) and a 28.2 percent strikeout rate.

Mariners' Brock Rodden: Sitting against lefty again
Rotowire
Rodden is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics.
A switch hitter, Rodden posted a .679 OPS versus lefties and an .884 OPS versus righties at Triple-A Tacoma this season before being promoted to Seattle on Aug. 14. Those wide splits have persisted in limited action in the majors thus far, with Rodden submitting a .544 OPS versus lefties and a .675 OPS against righties through his first 18 games with Seattle. He'll hit the bench for a second game in a row while the Athletics send another lefty (Gage Jump) to the hill.

Mariners' Cole Young: Gives way to Arroyo vs. lefty
Rotowire
Young is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics.
Young had started each of the Mariners' last nine games, but after producing a poor .188/.333/.250 slash line during that stretch, he'll hit the bench Sunday. The Mariners called up one of their top prospects in Michael Arroyo from Triple-A Tacoma on Sunday, and he'll immediately enter the lineup in place of Young, starting at second base against left-hander Gage Jump. The right-handed-hitting Arroyo could end up settling into a platoon at the keystone with Young, who is batting .218/.278/.294 (69 wRC+) over 187 plate appearances versus lefties.

Mariners' Lazaro Montes: Sitting again Sunday
Rotowire
Montes (hip) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics.
The 21-year-old Montes departed Friday's contest due to left hip soreness and is on the bench Sunday for a second consecutive game. He's guaranteed another day of rest since the Mariners have a team day off Monday. Dominic Canzone is manning right field for Seattle while Cal Raleigh rests his legs as the designated hitter.

Mariners' Michael Arroyo: Batting eighth in MLB debut
Rotowire
The Mariners selected Arroyo's contract from Triple-A Tacoma, and he'll start at second base and bat eighth Sunday against the Athletics.
The 21-year-old has made the transition to left field this season but has continued to see action at second base for Tacoma, and the latter position is where he'll make his MLB debut. Arroyo, who is one of Seattle's top prospects, opened the campaign with Double-A Arkansas before being promoted to Triple-A in early July. He's posted an .830 OPS with 18 home runs and 17 steals in 114 games between the two levels.
