Turner is starting at first base and batting fifth Sunday against the Cardinals.

EDGE Analysis

The 39-year-old was poised to sit Sunday in St. Louis but will instead start the contest since Victor Robles (elbow) was scratched. Turner is off to a slow start in September, as he's gone 4-for-20 with four walks, a double, an RBI and two runs in six games.

Turner went 2-for-5 with a double in a win over the Cardinals on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran extended his recent stretch of hot hitting with Friday's production, which pushed his average over the last seven games to .320 (8-for-25). Turner has three of his five extra-base hits with the Mariners in that span, and he's also striking out at just a 10.0 percent clip within that sample of 30 plate appearances.

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

EDGE Analysis

Turner had started in six of the Mariners' previous seven contests, but all but one of those came against left-handed starting pitchers. The 39-year-old looks like he'll fill the short side of a platoon at first base with Luke Raley while Seattle has all of its key bats available.

Turner went 3-for-5 with two solo homers in Saturday's loss to the Angels.

EDGE Analysis

Turner launched a leadoff shot to left field in his first trip to the plate to put Seattle on the board before then adding a second leadoff homer in the fourth to give his team the lead. The first baseman would go on to reach three times in the contest while posting his first three-hit effort as a member of the Mariners. It marked Turner's second two-homer performance of the season, and he's now driven in and scored at least one run in back-to-back games. The long balls were only his eighth and ninth of the campaign.

Turner is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rays.

EDGE Analysis

After going 3-for-15 at the dish while starting in each of the Mariners' last four contests, Turner will head to the bench for the series finale. Three of Turner's previous four starts came against left-handed pitchers, and the Mariners are seemingly viewing him as more of a short-side platoon player at this stage of his career.

Turner went 2-for-4 with a run scored in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

Turner's first multi-hit effort since Aug. 10 marked his sixth straight start hitting safely, albeit all via singles. The veteran has recorded just two extra-base hits across 66 plate appearances this month, and with 25 extra-base hits through 110 games, he's on pace for his lowest total in that category in a non-pandemic-shortened season since 2014. The lack of pop has resulted in him falling into a short-side platoon role, as he's started in only one of the Mariners' last three matchups with right-handed pitchers.

Turner entered Friday's extra-inning win over the Giants as a pinch hitter in the bottom of the sixth inning and remained in the game at first base, going 1-for-2 with an RBI single, a walk and a run.

EDGE Analysis

Turner drew the free pass during his pinch-hit plate appearance, and then ignited the Mariners' four-run, game-tying rally in the eighth with a timely knock that plated Jorge Polanco. Turner hasn't offered much pop of late, but he's rapped out a single in four straight starts and continues to hold down a near-everyday role at first base.

Turner went 2-for-3 with an RBI single, a run-scoring double, a walk and a run in a win over the Mets on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Turner had a significant hand in the Mariners' offensive output for the night, plating Randy Arozarena with his first-inning double before rapping a single to drive his teammate home again for the final run of the contest in the seventh. The multi-RBI effort was already Turner's third since joining Seattle at the trade deadline, and the multi-hit tally snapped him out of a 1-for-16 funk that had encompassed his previous five games.

Turner (hand) started at first base in Wednesday's loss to the Tigers and went 1-for-3 with a walk.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran infielder was able to avoid missing any games after getting plunked on his left hand in Tuesday's game. Turner snapped a brief 0-for-6 skid that had encompassed his previous two contests with Wednesday's production, and he boasts a .362 average and .913 OPS across 15 games since the All-Star break, with six of those games coming with the Mariners.

Turner (hand) will start at first base and bat fourth Wednesday against the Tigers, Shannon Drayer of SeattleSports.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Turner was pulled from Tuesday's contest after taking a pitch off his left hand, but his bruise won't keep him out of Wednesday's game. The 39-year-old veteran has been hot since the All-Star break, slashing .364/.407/.509 with two homers and eight RBI across 59 plate appearances.
