Mariners Game #1 Preview and Discussion: CLE at SEA, 3/26/26
· Yahoo Sports
After the shortest off-season, the Mariners are back in action tonight, playing games that actually count. That means we here at LL are also back with our daily trio(+) of stories about the day’s game: a game preview with starting lineups and all the info you need to know pregame as well as an open game thread to discuss the game as it unfolds, a chart highlighting the turning points of the game published immediately postgame, and a recap of how the game went down. We’ll do this for all 162 games this season, and we’d love to have you along for the ride, so if you haven’t yet signed up, please consider doing so! Instructions for doing so are at the bottom of the page.

In case you’ve been hurrying through the work day to try to get to tonight’s game, or have been traveling to the game from far away and missed all the work on the site today, allow me to briefly run down some of our Opening Day site traditions:
- The 2026 Opening Day Roster
- Our guide to T-Mobile Park
- An overview of the food options available at the park this season
- Season Projections and Predictions
- The Opening Series Preview
- Two opposing visions for the season: If It All Goes Wrong and If It All Goes Right
Lineups:
Cole Young and Leo Rivas make their first-ever Opening Day starts. Cole Young says his mother will be in attendance for the game from Florida: “She’s definitely gonna cry.”
Injury Updates:
Jerry Dipoto was on Bump and Stacy on 710 today and said Bryce Miller has been feeling good in his bullpens in Arizona and is on track to throw a “game bullpen” soon; his timeline is currently tracking towards a return at the end of April. J.P. Crawford is currently playing in minor-league games in Arizona, still DHing mostly but slated to return to shortstop as soon as today. Per Dipoto, he could be back at the earliest by the end of this homestand, but a more likely return is when the team heads out on their first roadtrip of the season.
