For the first time since Aug. 2, Felix Hernandez is back on the mound, pitching Thursday night’s series finale against the Texas Rangers.

CF Jarrod Dyson chose to have abdominal-muscle surgery to fix an injury lingering from August, ending his season. He hit .252 with a career-high five home runs.

The Seahawks offense couldn’t generate much of anything, losing out on lost two potential TDs and were defeated Sunday for the eighth consecutive time at Lambeau Field.

The NFL tersely rejected a demand by the union representing Las Vegas police to investigate Michael Bennett’s comments included a claim of racial profiling.

Seahawks defensive end Michael Bennett said he was assaulted by Las Vegas police outside the Mayweather-McGregor fight and plans to explore his legal options.

The Mariners made three roster moves Tuesday, activating newcomer OF Jacob Hannemann, recalling 1B Daniel Vogelbach from AAA Tacoma and placing RHP Evan Scribner on waivers for the purpose of giving him his unconditional release. Hannemann and Vogelbachwere available for Tuesday night’s second of a three-game series with the Houston Astros.

The Seahawks named 10 players to their practice squad, including quarterback Trevone Boykin, who was part of Saturday’s cutdown from 90 to 53 players.

The Mariners Monday claimed OF Jacob Hannemann and RHP Seth Frankoff off waivers from the Chicago Cubs, transferred RHP David Phelps from the 10-day disabled list to the 60-day DL with a right elbow impingement, and designated LHP Zac Curtis for assignment.

Picking first from the waiver-claim list, the Cleveland Browns Sunday took WR Kasen Williams, who was discarded by the Seahawks Saturday in the cutdown to 53.

The Seahawks had a big weekend, making five trades, keeping Austin Davis as backup QB and cutting WR Kasen Williams, a preseason star, to the dismay of CB Richard Sherman.
