Mariners manager Eric Wedge said Saturday that he has not benched Brendan Ryan and the shortstop position will continue to be evaluated.

Ryan has started the last two games after Robert Andino started the previous two. It sounds like they'll continue to be rotated until someone distinguishes themselves. "Regardless of what has been written, I didn't bench (Ryan)," Wedge said. "I said Andino is going to play more and we're going to take it day to day, week to week and month to month and see what happens."
