Beckham went 2-for-4 with a double and a run in a win over the Rangers on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran infielder drew a second straight start at the keystone, an occurrence that should be fairly common going forward in the wake of Robinson Cano's 80-game suspension. Beckham has been enjoying a strong season at the plate at Triple-A Tacoma, and Tuesday's effort represented his first two hits at the big-league level in 2018 after he'd gone 0-for-4 in his Monday debut.

Beckham is starting at second base and hitting ninth Monday against the Twins, Shannon Drayer of 710 ESPN Seattle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Beckham, who had his contract selected from Triple-A Tacoma prior to Monday's game, will be afforded the first opportunity to fill in for the injured Robinson Cano (finger) at the keystone. The 31-year-old owns a lackluster .239/.303/.369 career slash line across 964 big-league games, so expectations should be kept in check even if he does settle in as the Mariners' primary second baseman in Cano's absence.

Beckham had his contract purchased from Triple-A Tacoma on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Beckham will join the Mariners for the first time all season to offer additional infield depth with Robinson Cano (finger) landing on the disabled list. The veteran infielder compiled a solid .300/.412/.500 slash line to go with four homers across 25 games with the Rainiers this season. Beckham, who owns a career .239/.303/.369 slash line across 964 major-league games, will help man the keystone with Andrew Romine in Cano's absence, though it's unclear how playing time will shake out at this point.

Beckham is a likely candidate for a callup from Triple-A Tacoma in the wake of Robinson Cano's hand injury, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

The versatile infielder was held out of both of the Rainiers' games against Sacramento on Sunday, lending credence to the notion he'll be summoned to help man the keystone alongside fellow veteran Andrew Romine during what's expected to be an extended absence on the part of Cano. Beckham has earned the promotion through his play, as well, as he's boasting a .302/.418/.533 line that includes four home runs and 15 RBI across 24 games with Tacoma. The 31-year-old brings plenty of big-league experience, as he's logged 964 career games over the last nine seasons with the White Sox, Angels, Braves, Giants and Mariners.

Beckham has signed a minor league contract to return to the Mariners, Chris Cotillo of SB Nation reports Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Beckham was released by the Mariners last week, but has opted not to test the free agent market and instead will remain in the organization. The 31-year-old mustered just a .262/.313/.393 for Triple-A Tacoma last year but will serve as veteran organizational depth capable of playing multiple infield positions.

Beckham was released by the Mariners on Friday, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Beckham will have a chance to pursue other opportunities after having a solid showing for Seattle this spring. The 31-year-old was signed to a minor-league deal this winter, but fell just shy of making the Opening Day roster as a utility man due to the similar abilities of Andrew Romine and Taylor Motter. Beckham spent a majority of the 2017 season with Triple-A Tacoma and will likely return to the minors when he latches on with a different organization.

Beckham agreed to a minor-league deal with the Mariners on Monday, SB Nation's Chris Cotillo reports.

EDGE Analysis

The former top prospect continues to prolong his pro baseball career, although at this point he is very unlikely to ever regain a significant role on a big-league club. Last year he hit .262/.313/.393 with nine home runs in 83 games with Triple-A Tacoma. He figures to once again serve as organizational infield depth for the Mariners.

Beckham went 2-for-4 with a run in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Athletics.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran drew his first start since having his contract purchased from Triple-A Tacoma on Sept. 2 and logged his first pair of hits in 2017 at the big-league level in the process. Beckham spent his season in the minors, hitting .262 with nine home runs and 45 RBI over 355 plate appearances. He may be in line for some starts during the Mariners' remaining games.

Beckham's contract was selected from Triple-A Tacoma on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

The 30-year-old journeyman hit .262/.313/.393 with nine home runs in 355 plate appearances, so he didn't necessarily set the Pacific Coast League on fire. Look for him to occupy a bench role in September.

The Mariners signed Beckham to a minor-league deal Friday, Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

The second baseman was granted his release by the Giants last week after putting up a weak spring line (.194/.268/.250 in 36 at-bats). Beckham will serve as organizational infield depth and could see major-league time later in the season.
