SEATTLE — Sox outfielders Tommy Pham and Andrew Benintendi, who are on the mend from ankle and Achilles injuries, respectively, have been sent to Arizona on injury-rehab assignments.
Manager Pedro Grifol wasn’t ruling out Benintendi coming off the 10-day injured list on Wednesday and Pham on Thursday, the last day of the Sox’ four-game series against the Mariners.
‘‘If not, they’ll wait for us in Arizona,’’ Grifol said.
The Sox open a three-game series Friday against the Diamondbacks in Phoenix.
Pham suffered a sprained left ankle while sliding into an easy out at home plate June 2. Benintendi went on the IL with tendinitis in his left Achilles on June 1.
The Sox also said veteran catcher Max Stassi, who hasn’t played an inning for the team, will miss the rest of the season after having surgery on his left hip Friday. Stassi, 33, was acquired in a trade with the Braves in December after missing all of last season to be with his wife and prematurely born son.
Pham, who is expected to be dealt before the trade deadline July 30, is batting .280/.331/.402 with three home runs and three stolen bases in 33 games.
Benintendi, who is in the second year of a five-year, $75 million contract, is batting .195/.230/.284 in 200 plate appearances.
Good start for Fedde, but M’s rally to win
Right-hander Erick Fedde pitched seven scoreless innings before yielding a leadoff homer to Dominic Canzone in the eighth, but the Mariners rallied to win 8-4 on a grand slam by Cal Raleigh against Jordan Leasure in the ninth.
Luis Robert Jr. broke a scoreless tie with a two-run homer against Logan Gilbert in the sixth as the Sox looked to win for the third time in their last four games after their franchise-record 14-game skid.
Andrew Vaughn doubled and Lenyn Sosa singled him home to make it 3-0 in the seventh, and Corey Julks homered to make it 4-0 in the eighth.
Michael Kopech replaced Fedde after Canzone’s homer and loaded the bases before giving up a two-run single to Mitch Haniger with two outs. Luke Raley followed with a bunt single to score Josh Rojas with the tying run to set up Raleigh’s heroics an inning later.
This and that
Veteran Martin Maldonado, who is batting .071, likely will catch right-hander Drew Thorpe, who is getting called up from Double-A Birmingham to make his major-league debut Tuesday.
• Double-A catcher Edgar Quero was named the Southern League player of the week after going 13-for-21 (.641) with three homers and five walks in six games.
• Right-hander Jake Woodford, who elected free agency after being designated for assignment Friday, is signing a minor-league deal with the Pirates.
• Former Sox infielder Gordon Beckham is filling in for analyst Steve Stone in the TV booth for the series against the Mariners.
