EDGE Analysis

Marmolejos swatted his first long ball of the year with a solo shot to right center field against Jose Berrios in the sixth inning. The 28-year-old earned a spot on Seattle's roster after a strong spring during which he slashed .300/.391/.400 across 46 plate appearances.

Marmolejos has made the Mariners' Opening Day roster as a utility option, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Marmolejos earned his spot with a strong spring in which he slashed .300/.391/.400 across 46 plate appearances. The 28-year-old offers manager Scott Servais a valuable left-handed bat with the flexibility to play left field and first base, and he was already out of minor-league options -- all of which helped his cause to stick on the Opening Day roster.

Marmolejos, competing for a utility role in spring training, is 4-for-7 with a double, an RBI and two runs across his first four Cactus League games.

EDGE Analysis

Lauded for his prowess at the plate during a minor-league career that saw him capture two Player of the Year awards in the Nationals organization, Marmolejos scuffled to a .206 average and .261 on-base percentage across his first 115 major-league plate appearances in Seattle last season. However, the 28-year-old demonstrated some solid pop with 10 extra-base hits (four doubles, six home runs) and was partly held back by an atypically low .232 BABIP. Marmolejos' biggest competition for a job might be fellow utility asset Sam Haggerty, who's off to a solid spring start in his own right, but there may be room for both players on the roster.
