Lee is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Royals, Bob Dutton of the Tacoma News Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lee has started the past four games for the Mariners and will get a regular day off Friday. Adam Lind will start at first base in his place, while batting sixth. Lee has been hitting the ball well during the beginning of July, going 8-for-23 from the plate with two home runs and five RBI this month.

Lee is out of the lineup Sunday against the Orioles.

EDGE Analysis

Lee had started each of the previous 10 games with the Mariners making a more concerted effort to give the slugging first baseman full-time duties in light of his surging performance. While he'll be rested Sunday, Lee has slashed .297/.366/.432 over those 10 games, so don't expect manager Scott Servais to frequently keep him on the bench while he's running hot.

Lee had three hits Friday, including a double and his 11th home run of the season.

EDGE Analysis

Lee has started nine consecutive games, six of which, like Friday, have come against right-handed pitchers. With Nori Aoki at Triple-A, the preferred lineup against rigthies has been Lee at first base, his usual platoon partner at DH and Nelson Cruz in right field. Against left-handers, Lind sits and Cruz goes to DH. Lee is 7-for-23 (.304) in the last nine games against right-handers, though Friday's extra-base hits were his first in that span. This season, five of his 11 homers have come off right-handers, and he actually has a higher OPS (.901 vs. .828) vs. righties.

Lee will start at first base and bat sixth in the order Sunday against the Cardinals, MLB.com's Greg Johns reports. It's Lee's fifth start in a row at that position.

EDGE Analysis

Lee entered the campaign in a platoon with Adam Lind at first base, but the Korean slugger's success throughout the first half of the season has earned him steady at-bats of late regardless of who is pitching for the opposition. Two of his five starts during that stretch have come against right-handed pitching, as manager Scott Servais has simply slotted Lind in at DH in those games. It looks like Lee will continue to play regularly until his bat cools down.

Lee will start at first base and bat fifth in the order Sunday against the Red Sox.

EDGE Analysis

This will mark Lee's fourth start in the last five games, but fantasy owners shouldn't necessarily expect the trend to continue. The Mariners have run into a spate of left-handed starting pitchers of late, so Lee's run of opportunities should dwindle once more right-handed pitchers show up on the docket. Lee remains locked into the short end of a platoon at first base with Adam Lind.

Lee is not in the lineup Saturday against the Red Sox, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lee will take a seat against right-hander Rick Porcello after starting each of the last three games at fist base. Seattle will go with Adam Lind at first Saturday, and he'll bat sixth in the order.

Lee went 2-for-4 with his first career double, three RBI and a run against the Rays on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

That's right -- in 44 games and 111 at-bats preceding Thursday's action, Lee hadn't hit a single double or triple, but did have 10 homers among his 32 base hits. He's mostly shown decent contact ability to go with impressive raw power and has been in the lineup more often than not for Seattle recently, making Lee worth a long look in a variety of fantasy formats.

Lee is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Indians.

EDGE Analysis

Lee gets the night off Wednesday after starting four of the last five games as manager Scott Servais will deploy lefty Adam Lind against Cleveland's Carlos Carrasco. Lee's next chance to return to the lineup will come Thursday for the Mariners' series finale against the Indians.

Lee will make his third straight start at first base Sunday against the Rangers, Bob Dutton of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lee continues to serve in the short end of a platoon with Adam Lind at first base, but the Mariners may soon consider more ways to get Lee's bat in the lineup against right-handers, too. He's recorded multi-hit efforts in four straight contests and has already smacked eight homers in just 91 at-bats.

Lee went 2-for-4 with a run scored in Friday's 7-3 loss to the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

The Korean-born slugger has hit a stride at the plate over the last week, as he's managed multi-hit efforts in four of his last five games. He's also oosted a pair of homers and seven RBI over that span, and is already slashing .583/.583/.833 over his first 12 at-bats of the new month.
