Reed is out of the lineup Sunday against the Mariners.

EDGE Analysis

The Mariners are starting a left-handed pitcher for the second time this series, so Reed will accordingly find himself on the bench. Reed hasn't exactly dominated right-handed pitching since his promotion (6-for-30 with two homers), so until he finds more success, he'll be limited to platoon duties at first base or DH.

Reed has gotten off to an unremarkable 2-for-22 start to his big-league career, striking out in exactly half of those at-bats.
