Mariners interim manager Robby Thompson said that Dustin Ackley will get an extended look in the outfield in the coming weeks. Ackley has played in 24 of 39 games in the outfield since being recalled in late June. He's hit just .255/.302/.337 in those games, but the Mariners want to see how he handles center field on a regular basis. "We have to see what we have out there with Ackley in center field," Thompson said. "We kind of know what we have with Saunders in center and the corners. There's a chance we'll have Guti coming back -- and where he's going to fit in. So we're just trying to get Ack in there."
