Seattle Mariners (56-64) at New York Yankees (67-52) — Game Preview
The Seattle Mariners (56-64) visit the New York Yankees (67-52) at Yankee Stadium on August 12, 2026, with the Mariners looking to keep pace in a crowded American League field and the Yankees pushing to hold their position near the top of the league. New York’s pitching staff carries a 3.28 team ERA compared to Seattle’s 3.79, the widest gap between the two clubs on paper. Randy Arozarena mans left field for Seattle and is hitting .276 on the season with a .368 on-base percentage that makes him a persistent table-setter atop the order, and his .448 slugging percentage gives the Mariners rare pop from that spot in the lineup. Julio Rodriguez supplies the power alongside him, with 18 home runs and 51 RBIs even as his .256 average trails Arozarena’s mark.
Cole Young has quietly turned into one of Seattle’s more productive bats up the middle, driving in 52 runs to go with 14 home runs and a .263 average, and his RBI total edges Rodriguez’s 51 for the highest among the Mariners hitters featured tonight. Ben Rice paces the Yankees’ offense with 32 home runs and 75 RBIs, a power line that comes with a .255 average as the trade-off for a swing built to drive the ball out of the yard. Seattle sits 17.5 games behind the American League’s leader while New York is 6 back, a gap that separates two teams heading in different directions this season.

Players to Watch: Seattle Mariners vs. New York Yankees
Seattle Mariners
Randy Arozarena — LF. Arozarena is hitting .276 on the season with a .368 on-base percentage, the profile of a steady table-setter atop Seattle’s order. His .448 slugging percentage adds an extra-base dimension that few leadoff bats around the league can match.
Julio Rodriguez — CF. Eighteen home runs and 51 RBIs put Rodriguez squarely in Seattle’s middle-of-the-order picture, even though his .256 average sits below Arozarena’s mark atop the lineup. He remains the Mariners’ primary power threat from center field.
Cole Young — 2B. Young has driven in 52 runs to go with 14 home runs and a .263 average, giving Seattle a table-setter with pop at second base. His 52 RBIs edge Rodriguez’s 51 for the highest total among the Mariners hitters in this matchup.
New York Yankees
Ben Rice — 1B. Rice leads the Yankees’ order in run production with 32 home runs and 75 RBIs, pacing a lineup that has leaned on him all season. That power comes with a .255 average, the trade-off for a swing built to drive the ball out of the yard.
Luis Garcia Jr. — 1B. Garcia Jr. carries a .282 average among tonight’s featured Yankees, well ahead of Ben Rice’s .255 and Jazz Chisholm Jr.’s .217. He backs that average with 24 home runs, 78 RBIs and a .555 slugging percentage that rounds out one of the more complete lines in New York’s lineup.
Jazz Chisholm Jr. — 2B. Chisholm Jr. rounds out the middle infield picture with 17 home runs and 47 RBIs, providing pop from a position that does not always produce it. His .217 average is the lowest of the three Yankees hitters featured tonight, but the power numbers keep him in the middle of the lineup regardless.
