EDGE Analysis

This marks Seager's second straight absence due to a stomach virus. Danny Valencia will step in for his first start of the season at third base, while Seager figures to be back close to full strength following Thursday's team off day.

Seager is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Orioles due to a stomach virus, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

While it was originally thought Seager was getting the day to rest after starting eight straight games, it now appears he's dealing with a slight illness. This would also explain his early exit from Monday's game. While the issue doesn't appear to be anything serious, it wouldn't be surprising to see the Mariners give him Wednesday off with a scheduled off-day approaching Thursday.

Seager is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against Baltimore, Bob Dutton of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

With Baltimore running out lefty Wade Miley to the mound, it's a logical night to give Seager some rest. Danny Espinosa will be at third base in his stead and bat eighth.

Seager went 2-for-4 with two RBI from a run-scoring single and a solo home run in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Angels.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran third baseman has already matched the four homers he slugged in all of July, and is just three RBI from matching his total in that category from last month as well. Seager has hit safely in eight of his first 11 August contests overall, but all three components of his current .258/.329/.453 line are notably below the career-best numbers (.278/.359/.499) he posted in each category last season.

Seager went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Wednesday's 6-3 win over the Athletics.

EDGE Analysis

Seager's 420-foot shoot to right center with two on in the first opened the scoring and ended up serving as the final margin of victory. The slugging veteran already has three homers in August, all within the last six games. He's also hit safely in six of his first eight contests of the month and now sports a .404 wOBA, .323 ISO and 43 percent hard contact rate in his 108 plate appearances since the All-Star break.

Seager went 2-for-4 with a solo homer in Game 1 of Sunday's doubleheader in Kansas City.

EDGE Analysis

Seager's first-inning blast was the second of three homers allowed by starter Danny Duffy. The left-handed slugger has fared surprisingly well against left-handed pitching, with five of his 16 long balls coming in that split. He also came into this one batting .259 against both lefties and righties.

Seager went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's 6-4 loss to the Royals.

EDGE Analysis

Seager launched his 15th homer of the season in the second to open the scoring on the night, his first round tripper since July 24. The veteran slugger is in the midst of a nice run at the plate, as he's slashed .299/.372/.623 and posted a .413 wOBA and .995 OPS in his 86 plate appearances over the last 20 games.

Seager went 1-for-3 with a two-run single in Friday's 7-5 loss to the Mets.

EDGE Analysis

Seager's fifth-inning hit erased a 4-3 deficit at the time and pushed his RBI total into double digits for the fourth time in four months this season. The veteran third baseman also has a modest four-game hitting streak and has hit safely in 12 of his last 14 contests overall.

Seager went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 4-0 win over the Red Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Seager's 415-foot shot to center in the second opened the scoring and was his fourth homer of July. The veteran third baseman started the season in an uncharacteristic power slump, but he's now launched nine round trippers since June 6 after having hit only five prior to that date. The surge has Seager tied for third on the team with Mike Zunino in home runs and on pace to eclipse 20 bombs for the sixth consecutive campaign.
