Dealt loss Wednesday
Speier (back) retired two batters -- one via strikeout -- and allowed three earned runs on three hits and two walks in Wednesday's 10-5 loss to the Yankees. He was the pitcher of record in the loss, dropping to 2-3 on the season.
Analysis
Speier wasn't available for Tuesday's 4-1 loss while he nursed a back issue, but he received clearance for Wednesday's contest and was the first pitcher the Mariners turned to out of the bullpen when starter Bryce Miller exited after six innings. After entering a 5-5 game, Speier induced a Amed Rosario flyout to open the bottom of the seventh, but he allowed six of the next seven batters to reach base before he was mercifully pulled from the contest. Following the blowup appearance, Speier now sits on a 2.93 ERA and 1.21 WHIP over 30.2 innings on the season.

Battling back injury
Speier was unavailable for Tuesday's game against the Yankees due to back discomfort, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.
Analysis
Speier returned from his two-game suspension Tuesday, but back issue prevented him from getting into the game. It's unclear whether his injury is severe enough to warrant a trip to the injured list, but the Mariners will likely monitor his status closely over the next couple of days.
