Minor league baseball is back.

Following a missed season for their affiliates last summer due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Mariners announced the rosters for their four minor league teams Friday afternoon through their player development account on Twitter.

Three of Seattle’s top 10 prospects, per MLB Pipeline, in outfielder Jarred Kelenic (No. 1), right-hander Logan Gilbert (No. 4) and catcher Cal Raleigh (No. 8), will open the season with Triple-A Tacoma.

Five more of the club’s top prospects in outfielder Julio Rodriguez (No. 2), right-handers Emerson Hancock (No. 3), George Kirby (No. 5) and Juan Then (No. 9) and left-hander Brandon Williamson (No. 10) will join High-A Everett, while infielder Noelvi Marte (No. 7) will start at Low-A Modesto.

The full rosters for each club are listed below:
