With all World Baseball Classic participants<\/a> now having left camp, the games will have a different feel as the younger players will have the opportunity to get longer looks and the veterans will continue on a more typical buildup.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s a matter of weighing what\u2019s too much and what\u2019s not enough and trying to strike that balance as we go forward,\u201d Mariners manager Dan Wilson said of the now smaller player mix in camp. \u201cIt\u2019s just a matter of mapping it out and being smart as we go along.\u201d<\/p>\n There is a very welcome return for two vets in the lineup Tuesday. First, J.P. Crawford returns to the lineup as the designated hitter. Crawford has been dealing with a shoulder issue and will be hit-only for the remainder of the week. Second, Mitch Garver will make his spring debut after signing a minor league contract to return to the M\u2019s two weeks ago.<\/p>\n Lineup!<\/p>\n Brendan Donovan, 3B Bryan Woo, P<\/p>\n Also scheduled to pitch: Michael Morales, Michael Rucker, Cole Wilcox, Casey Legumina, Domingo Gonzalez, Robinson Ortiz.<\/p>\n First pitch for the Mariners\u2019 Cactus League game against the Los Angeles Angels will be at 12:10 p.m. Seattle time, with the live radio broadcast starting at noon on the Seattle Sports app.<\/p>\n Notes<\/p>\n \u2022 Bryce Miller is scheduled to play a light catch Tuesday to see where he is with the left oblique soreness he experienced after his Cactus League start last Thursday.<\/p>\n More: Mariners pitcher Bryce Miller has oblique issue<\/a><\/p>\n \u2022 It was good to see Cole Young check in with his first hit of the spring Sunday, a 442-foot blast off a hanging slider. An 0 for 8 in early spring training is nothing to be concerned about. Nevertheless, Wilson was happy to see Young connect.<\/p>\n Watch: Cole Young mashes mammoth first HR of spring training<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cHe feels like he wasn\u2019t in a good spot at the plate yet, but to get that pitch and drive it like that was really good to see,\u201d Wilson said. \u201cHe\u2019s just got a good swing, we\u2019ve seen the power. We will just continue to give him the time he needs at second base and with his at-bats. For him, it\u2019s just about finding that consistent contact. The rhythm and timing of it all is I think the hardest part of spring training and I think he is starting to find that as we go forward.\u201d<\/p>\n \u2022 The Mariners have not just lost players to the World Baseball Classic, but also coaches. Two-thirds of the major league hitting staff has exited for the WBC with senior director of hitting strategy Edgar Martinez and assistant hitting coach Bobby Magallanes coaching for Puerto Rico and Mexico, respectively. Additionally, bullpen catcher Fleming Baez is working with the team from the Dominican Republic. Back in Peoria, Mariners hitting coach Kevin Seitzer has plenty of help in the cages with the Triple-A hitting staff and organizational coordinators pitching in.<\/p>\n \u2022 George Kirby threw a sim game at the complex Monday to keep him on turn. All reportedly went well. Luis Castillo also was at the complex to throw a bullpen.<\/p>\n More from Seattle Mariners spring training<\/p>\n \u2022 Three unexpected early standouts from Mariners camp<\/a>
