Manager Scott Servais said Saturday that he plans to bat Seager second in the order against right-handed pitchers, Ryan Divish of the Seattle Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ketel Marte will remain in the second spot in the order when the Mariners face lefties, but Seager will move up to that slot against righties to get his left-handed bat higher in the order. Seager's average isn't much different between lefties and righties, but he has nearly twice as many home runs (64) off righties as he does off southpaws (34).
