Cijntje, a top 100 prospect in the sport, was removed from his start on May 31 with arm discomfort and has not pitched sense. He was listed as the scheduled starter on June 7, but did not make that start.

A first-round pick of the Mariners in 2024 out of Mississippi State, he's gone 4-3 with a 4.57 ERA through 12 games (nine starts). A switch-pitcher, Cijntje has a higher ceiling with his right arm, where he can hit the upper-90s with his fastball and features a devastating slider.
