Moore went 0-for-4 with four strikeouts in his return from paternity leave during an extra-inning loss against the White Sox on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Moore had sat out the previous two games while on leave, and he went down on strikes three times against masterful White Sox starter Garrett Crochet before also logging one final punchout when facing reliever Michael Kopech. Since hitting safely in back-to-back games May 25-26, Moore has been mired in a nightmarish slump, going 4-for-42 with a single extra-base hit (a double) and a 38.8 percent strikeout across his last 13 contests.

The Mariners reinstated Moore (personal) from the paternity list Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Moore has been away from the team since Monday to spend time with his family, and he will now return to the Mariners ahead of Thursday's series finale against the White Sox. The 31-year-old has slashed .160/.233/.200 with two RBI and five runs scored since the beginning of June.

Moore was placed on the paternity list ahead of Monday's matchup with the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Moore was originally set to start at second base and bat ninth in Monday's series opener with the White Sox, but he will now be away from the team for up to three games. In his absence, Ryan Bliss could see some extra work at second base while Leonardo Rivas was recalled from Triple-A Tacoma to replace Moore on the major-league roster.

The Mariners are expected to place Moore on the paternity leave list, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Moore is in Monday's lineup against the White Sox, so it appears the move won't occur until after the game. Leonardo Rivas and Jhonathan Diaz have joined the Mariners' taxi squad and it sounds one of them will join the active roster as Moore's replacement.

Moore went 1-for-4 with a stolen base and a run in a win over the Athletics on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Moore didn't log one of his trademark extra-base hits, but he still found a way to make an impact by working himself into scoring position after his fourth-inning single with the help of his ninth steal. The 31-year-old remains in a multi-game funk, however, as he's just 3-for-25 over the last seven contests, a span during which he's reached via a trio of singles, one walk and three hit-by-pitches.

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

EDGE Analysis

Moore will take a seat in the series finale after he went 1-for-14 with eight strikeouts while starting each of the past four games at either second base or third base. While he remains in the mix for steady playing at the keystone with Jorge Polanco (hamstring) on the injured list, Moore looks to be slowing down at the plate after a hot run over the first three weeks of May. Dating back to May 23, Moore is slashing .103/.297/.138 over a stretch of nine games. If Moore's struggles continue, Ryan Bliss could end up unseating him as the preferred option at second base.

Moore isn't in the Mariners' lineup Tuesday against the Astros.

EDGE Analysis

Moore has been extremely hot at the plate lately, slashing an incredible .324/.489/.735 with three homers and seven RBI across his last 11 games. He'll get a breather against Hunter Brown and the Astros while Luke Raley, Julio Rodriguez and Dominic Canzone start across the outfield with Mitch Haniger in as the DH.

Moore went 0-for-3 with a walk and two stolen bases in a loss to the Nationals on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

It's been quite the productive week for Moore, who also homered twice Tuesday against the Yankees during what was a second consecutive multi-hit effort. The 31-year-old has now reached safely in nine consecutive games, a stretch during which he's accumulated seven extra-base hits (four doubles, three home runs), eight walks and six runs on his way to a .346 average and 1.360 OPS (35 plate appearances). The combination of his defensive versatility, pop and plate discipline has earned Moore an everyday role while logging time across the infield and left field.

Moore went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run, a solo home run and an RBI single during Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Yankees.

EDGE Analysis

Moore clubbed his fifth and sixth long balls of the campaign, tagging Clarke Schmidt for a two-run shot in the third and Nick Burdi for a solo shot in the ninth. All but one of Moore's homers have come in May, a month where he's batting .293 with 12 extra-base hits, 15 RBI and 12 runs scored.

Moore went 2-for-4 with a double, a solo home run and an additional run in a loss to the Orioles on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Moore's penchant for hard contact was on display again Friday, with his double and homer pushing his extra-base hit rate to a stellar 52.2 percent (12 XBH out of 23 total hits) across 117 plate appearances. The veteran utility man has reached safely in five of his last seven contests, and he's now generated a trio of multi-hit efforts in the last nine games overall.
