Marmolejos is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

He'll head to the bench for the first time in eight games, paving the way for Dee Strange-Gordon to enter the lineup in left field. Over the eight-game stretch, Marmolejos went 9-for-26 with two home runs, two doubles, four walks, six RBI and three runs. With Sam Haggerty (forearm) on the injured list and Ty France getting more work at second base of late in place of the struggling Shed Long, Marmolejos looks like he'll temporarily have a clear path to a regular lineup role, at least against right-handed pitching.

Marmolejos, who went 1-for-4 with a go-ahead RBI single in a win over the Rangers on Saturday, is now hitting .370 (10-for-27) with two doubles, three home runs, eight RBI, three walks and four runs over his last eight games.

EDGE Analysis

The 27-year-old has hit safely in each of those contests as well, a stretch during which he's boosted his season average 129 points to .232. Marmolejos' versatility has played an integral role in him seeing regular playing time, as he's logged five starts apiece at first base and designated hitter, along with another six in left field. Given that he's starting to swing the bat in a manner akin to that which helped lead to a pair of Minor League Player of the Year awards in the Nationals organization, Marmolejos seems to be positioning himself for a steady role the rest of the regular season.

Marmolejos went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in Monday's 2-1 win over the Angels.

EDGE Analysis

Marmolejos's solo shot off Matt Andriese gave the Mariners a 2-1 lead that Marco Gonzales did not relinquish on the way to his second complete game of his career. The long ball marked his fourth of the season and extended his hit-streak to six games. The lefty swinger has started every game since Aug. 27, and given his recent success, he figures to continue to see consistent playing time, especially against right-handers.

Marmolejos, who went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Game 1 of a doubleheader against the Padres on Thursday, followed up that performance by going 2-for-4 with a grand slam in the nightcap.

EDGE Analysis

It was a whirlwind of a day for Marmolejos, who displayed some of the proficiency at the batter's box that had previously earned him a pair of Minor League Player of the Year awards in the Nationals organization. The 27-year-old's grand slam in Game 2 of the twin bill was the pivotal part of a six-run first inning for the Mariners and gave Marmolejos a whopping six RBI for the day. The utility asset had been summoned from the Mariners' alternate training site in Tacoma to serve as the 29th man for the doubleheader, so it remains to be seen if his performances will keep him around longer than initially planned.

Marmolejos went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run as the Padres defeated the Mariners in Game 1 of Thursday's doubleheader.

EDGE Analysis

Marmolejos was added to Seattle's roster as the 29th man prior to the twin bill, so pending a separate transaction, the first baseman will be sent back to the alternate site following Game 2. Marmolejos belted his second homer and is now hitting .125 with a .438 OPS on the campaign.

The Mariners recalled Marmolejos from their alternate training site ahead of Thursday's doubleheader with the Padres.

EDGE Analysis

Seattle is designating Marmolejos as its 29th man, so he'll likely be dropped from the active roster once the twin bill concludes. Marmolejos broke summer camp with a large-side platoon role with the Mariners, but he fell out of favor after going 3-for-29 at the plate prior to his demotion.

The Mariners optioned Marmolejos to their alternate training site Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Marmolejos opened the season in a strong-side platoon role, but it didn't take long for him to cede playing time. After going 3-for-21 while starting in five of the Mariners' first seven games, he's cracked the lineup twice in the team's last six contests. Marmolejos' demotion should pave the way for Daniel Vogelbach to see most of the reps at designated hitter for the foreseeable future.

Marmolejos is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Angels.

EDGE Analysis

Marmolejos will sit for the second straight game as Daniel Vogelbach picks up a start at DH in his place. Across eight appearances this season, Marmolejos is 3-for-29 with a home run and nine strikeouts.

Marmolejos isn't in the lineup Tuesday against the Angels.

EDGE Analysis

Marmolejos has seen a fair amount of playing time this year in his first major-league season, but he'll be on the bench for the team's series opener against the Angels. Tim Lopes will serve as the designated hitter Tuesday with Dee Gordon starting in left field and batting ninth.

Marmolejos is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics.

EDGE Analysis

Marmolejos appeared to have captured a large-side platoon role to begin the season, but his 3-for-25 start to the campaign could result in him falling out of favor. The lefty-hitting Marmolejos will sit for the second time in three games Sunday, this time against a right-handed starting pitcher (Chris Bassitt).
