Moore isn't starting Saturday's game against the Red Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Moore has been in a slump recently, as he's gone 0-for-17 with a run, six walks, eight strikeouts and two stolen bases in his last seven games. Ty France will start at second base Saturday, batting second.

Moore went 1-for-3 with a home run in Game 2 of Thursday's doubleheader against the Orioles.

EDGE Analysis

Moore has been struggling badly this season, but this might be the game he needed to start recovering his confidence a bit. The 28-year-old infielder went deep for the first time in 2021, and while he's still hitting an anemic .154 with a .535 OPS, he might be on the rise now that he finally managed to go deep. For what is worth, Moore also ended a five-game hitless streak with his long ball.

Moore went 0-for-5 with one strikeout during Tuesday's doubleheader against the Orioles, lowering his season line to .121/.211/.212 over 38 plate appearances.

EDGE Analysis

Moore's early struggles are particularly disappointing when considering he started the season with a chance to potentially take a long-term hold of the everyday job at the keystone with Shed Long still in the final stages of recovery from last year's shin injury. However, a combination of an elevated 34.2 percent strikeout rate and atypically low .190 BABIP have conspired to keep his numbers at their current levels, as has an anemic 19.0 percent hard-hit rate.

Moore is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Twins.

EDGE Analysis

Moore will move to the bench after going 1-for-11 while starting each of the past three contests. Ty France will fill in at the keystone while Moore rests.

Moore is not in Tuesday's lineup against the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

He is hitting .154 with seven strikeouts through four games, but his two stolen bases over that stretch far outweigh the bad in rotisserie leagues. Ty France moves to the keystone while Jose Marmolejos starts at designated hitter.

Moore went 0-for-3 with a walk, a stolen base and three strikeouts in Monday's 6-0 loss to the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Moore went hitless for the second time in four games but did manage to steal a base for the second consecutive game. The 28-year-old has started out just 2-for-13 with seven whiffs this season, though he's still managed to produce four RBI.

Moore went 1-for-3 with a sacrifice fly, a two-run double, a walk and a run in Thursday's season-opening win over the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

Moore's two-bagger brought the Mariners within a run in a wild eighth inning and gave him Seattle's only multi-RBI effort of the night. The 28-year-old, who's shown a penchant for extra-base hits over the last two seasons, should have ample opportunity to further clamp down on the second base job early in the season while Shed Long continues his recovery from offseason shin surgery.

Moore is hitting .286 (4-for-14) with a double, a home run, two RBI, two walks, a stolen base and two runs across his first six Cactus League games.

EDGE Analysis

Moore slugged the round tripper Tuesday against the Royals, extending his hitting streak to three games. The 28-year-old's solid early efforts may be an indication his offseason strength work is already paying off, and considering Moore has laced 42 (23 doubles, two triples, 17 home runs) of his 86 career hits for extra bases, the added bulk could take his 2021 numbers to career-best levels.

Moore showed up to the Mariners' first full-squad workout of spring training sporting noticeably more muscle than last season, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The versatile 28-year-old apparently came equipped for battle figuratively and literally, considering he's expected to be part of one of the more intense competitions of the spring. Manager Scott Servais commented earlier this winter that Moore would get a legitimate chance to win the top job at second base from Shed Long (shin), who took a step back last season while the former surged. Moore produced a .255/.358/.496 line with nine doubles, eight home runs and 17 RBI across 38 games, adding 12 stolen bases (17 attempts) for good measure. A whopping 42 of his 86 career hits over his first two seasons have gone for extra bases as well, giving his bat a level of pop that Long may have a hard time keeping up with, especially if the added offseason muscle makes Moore even more potent at the plate.

Mariners manager Scott Servais said Wednesday that Moore (concussion) and Shed Long (shin) will battle for the starting second base job during spring training, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Even if Long wins out as the team's primary option at the keystone, Moore should still have a path to a near-everyday role thanks to his ability to play all over the infield and outfield. Before a concussion sidelined him for the final week of the regular season, Moore was in the midst of a breakout campaign, slashing .255/.358/.496 with eight home runs and 12 stolen bases over 159 plate appearances.
