Seager went 1-for-5 with a home run and two RBI Saturday against the Indians.
EDGE Analysis
Seager took part in the Mariners' offensive surge Saturday, blasting a two-run home run off Zach McAllister in the fourth inning. It was his first home run since April 14 and he has struggled for much of the span since then. However, he has a modest three-game hitting streak that has increased his line to .248/.300/.436 -- approaching the marks that should be expected of him.

Seager went 2-for-5 with a ninth-inning RBI single in a win over the Rangers on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Seager gave the Mariners some extra breathing room in the ninth after Jean Segura had snapped a 2-2 tie with a two-run double. The veteran third baseman's pair of singles snapped an 0-for-14 slump that had encompassed his previous four games and served as his sixth multi-hit effort of April.

Seager went 3-for-4 with a double, a solo home run, a walk and two runs in a 10-8 win over the Athletics on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Seager got in on the fun during what was a four-homer night for the Mariners. He's now hit safely in four straight, a sample that includes a trio of multi-hit efforts and five extra-base hits (three doubles, two homers). The veteran's production has been timely as well to say the least, as he's knocked in seven of his 11 runs on the season over that span.

Seager went 3-for-4 with an RBI double and a run in a 7-4 win over the Athletics on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Teammates Mitch Haniger and Daniel Vogelbach provided the big blasts on the night, but the ultra-reliable Seager came through with his first three-hit effort of the season, a continuation of what has been a successful April thus far. Seager has now hit safely in four of the last five, racking up three multi-hit efforts over that stretch, along with both of his home runs and eight of his 10 RBI on the season.

Seager went 2-for-3 with three RBI from a sacrifice fly and a two-run home run in a 4-2 win over the Royals on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Seager's 374-foot blast to right ultimately turned out to be the game-winner, snapping a 2-2 tie in the eighth. The veteran third baseman still sports an unsightly .211 average and .262 OBP, but his bat has shown undeniable signs of life recently. Factoring in Wednesday's outing, Seager has hit safely in five of eight April games -- including three multi-hit efforts -- and he's racked up both of his homers and all nine of his RBI during the month as well.

Seager went 2-for-5 with a home run, two runs scored and two RBI in Saturday's 11-4 win over the Twins.
EDGE Analysis
It took a while for the M's offense to get warmed up in a game that featured a record-low first-pitch temperature of 27 degrees, but Seager's two-run blast in the top of the fourth inning -- his first homer of the season -- opened the floodgates. The third baseman is only 5-for-26 through seven games, but hitting fifth behind Robinson Cano and Mitch Haniger should provide Seager with plenty of run-producing opportunities as the season progresses.

Seager went 2-for-4 with an RBI single and a walk in Tuesday's 6-4 win over the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
Seager has RBI in back-to-back games, a span that also includes all three of his hits thus far this season. Despite a 3-for-14 start overall, the 30-year-old has been about one of the surest propositions in baseball throughout his career in terms of home run and RBI consistency. He did see an unusual dip in batting average last season to a career-low .249, although a .262 BABIP -- his sparsest figure in that category -- likely carries a good deal of the blame.

Seager, who went 1-for-4 with an RBI single in Saturday's 7-3 Cactus League win over the Cubs, has hit safely in four of the last five exhibitions heading into Sunday's action.
EDGE Analysis
He also has an RBI in each of those games, along with a pair of walks and runs scored. Seager has notched a modest four extra-base hits (three doubles and one home run) over 50 spring plate appearances, but he demonstrated his bat carried as much pop as ever in 2017 by clearing the 60-mark in that category for the third straight campaign. Seager did hit a career-low .249 last season, however, and boosting that number back to more typical levels is likely a point of emphasis heading into the regular season.

Seager went 2-for-3 with a run in Thursday's 4-3 Cactus League loss to the Royals.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran slugger has gotten the exhibition slate off to a scorching start, as he's now hitting .636 (7-for-11) with a double, an RBI and a run. Seager comes into 2018 looking to bounce back from career lows in batting average (.249) and OBP (.323) last season, along with his highest strikeout tally (110) since 2014. A bit of bad fortune appeared to be at play as well, as his .262 BABIP was also a career low, while his contact rate (81 percent) remained in line with his career norms. A workhorse who's played at least 154 games in all but his 2011 rookie campaign, Seager figures to once again serve as a reliable multi-category producer across all formats in the coming season.

Seager went 1-for-4 with a home run and three RBI in Saturday's 6-4 win over the Angels.
EDGE Analysis
Seager has now hit a home run in back-to-back games and has hit eight in the month of September. However, although he's finishing the season on a high note, Seager's numbers fell across the board compared to 2016. After hitting .278 with an .858 OPS in 2016, Seager is heading into Sunday's season finale with a .251/.325/.453 line (.778 OPS).
