Michael Arroyo to make MLB debut as Mariners face Angels

SB Nation

Michael Arroyo will make his first major-league appearance in left field, batting fifth, as Seattle faces the Angels Friday at 7:10 p.m. Closer Andrés Muñoz was placed on the 15-day injured list with right knee inflammation, ending his season a few days early.

Seattle is trying to hand Los Angeles its 99th loss of the season. J.P. Crawford and Cal Raleigh are resting against Angels starter Reid Detmers, while Randy Arozarena is the designated hitter. Los Angeles has one change from the previous night's lineup: Denzer Guzman sits, Vaughn Grissom moves across the infield and Moises Ballesteros plays first base.

Muñoz exited Sunday's win over the Rockies with the injury and had an MRI that day. Troy Taylor was recalled to take his roster spot. The game is on Mariners TV, with postgame fireworks scheduled.
