On taxi squad, Ford enjoying ‘cool day' in big leagues
ARLINGTON — The Harry Ford era isn’t ready to take off quite yet.
The Mariners’ No. 5 prospect, and MLB Pipeline’s No. 60 overall, joined the club in Arlington on Friday, taking part in the pitchers’ meeting and catching four or five bullpens before the game. However, he won’t be making his Major League debut.
Ford is on Seattle’s taxi squad as backup catcher Mitch Garver will not require a stint on the injured list after sustaining a jaw injury in Thursday's 10-1 loss to the Twins at Target Field. Despite the non-roster move, Ford is soaking it all in.

Top prospect Harry Ford traveled with the Mariners to Texas for their series against the Rangers and could be in line to make his major league debut this weekend, per Adam Jude of The Seattle Times. As Daniel Kramer of MLB.com notes, Ford was scratched from the Triple-A Tacoma lineup yesterday after veteran catcher Mitch Garver left yesterday’s game when a foul tip struck his chin/neck area. Garver is slated to undergo further evaluation today, and if he requires a trip to the injured list Seattle is expected to select Ford’s contract to serve as the backup to Cal Raleigh. Ford, the 12th overall pick in the 2021 draft, is not yet on the 40-man roster. The Mariners have an open spot after Rowdy Tellez was designated for assignment earlier this week, however, and would not need to make a corresponding move beyond placing Garver on the IL. Through 60 games at Triple-A this year, Ford is hitting .311/.426/.469 (135 wRC+) with eight home runs, a huge 15.5% walk rate and just a 17% strikeout rate.
