Seager went 2-for-5 with a solo homer Sunday against the White Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Seager has now homered in consecutive contests after managing just three hits in the previous nine games. His fourth-inning long ball to cut Chicago's lead to 5-1 seemed insignificant at the time, but it ended up playing a critical role as Seattle came back to win 7-6 in 10 innings.

Seager went 1-for-4 with a solo home run during Saturday's win over the White Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Seager has struggled to match last season's career-best number so far this year. His .730 OPS is his lowest mark since entering the league as a rookie in 2011, and fantasy owners expected better counting stats than his 11 homers, 48 RBI and 35 runs. Seager is locked into the heart of the lineup and obviously has the potential to turn his season around with a solid second half, so this could prove to be a buy-low spot.

Seager is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Royals, Shannon Drayer of MyNorthwest.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Seager will get his first day off since late April after going hitless over the course of the past four games. It seems as though this move has nothing to do with an undisclosed injury, but manager Scott Servais is hoping this will clear the third baseman's head. In his place, Taylor Motter will man the hot corner and bat ninth.

Seager went 4-for-5 with a solo home run in Friday's 10-0 win over the Angels.
EDGE Analysis
Seager's bat finally seems to be coming alive after a mostly sluggish first half, as he's now homered in two straight games and three of his last six overall. He's also gone 6-for-9 in his last two contests and wrapped up June with a .375 average, .499 wOBA, .417 ISO and 224 wRC+ in his final 26 plate appearances of the month.

Seager went 2-for-4 with a home run in Wednesday's 5-4 loss to the Phillies.
EDGE Analysis
After attempting to bunt on the previous pitch, Seager blasted a 2-2 fastball from Phillies starter Mark Leiter, Jr over the center field fence for his ninth home run. After three straight seasons of 25 or more home runs, Seager is well below that pace in 2017. His batting average (.253) and slugging percentage (.414) are at career-low levels, too. Despite the struggles, Seager is too good of a hitter to struggle all year, and he should find a way to get his numbers closer to his career averages.

Seager went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, three runs and a walk in Friday's 13-3 win over the Astros.
EDGE Analysis
The homer had been some time coming for Seager, who uncharacteristically hadn't gone deep since June 7. The veteran third baseman does have seven multi-hit efforts and 15 RBI during the current month, despite the fact he's hit just .236 across his 96 plate appearances.

Seager went 1-for-4 with a game-winning RBI double and a walk in Tuesday's 5-4 extra-inning win over the Tigers.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran third baseman came through with a timely two-bagger to win it for the Mariners, eclipsing his RBI total for May in the process. Seager has driven in 14 runs overall in June, with four of those coming in the last three contests. The one area in which he's seen some regression has been home runs, as the 29-year-old's seven round trippers through 299 plate appearances put him on pace for his lowest total since he hit 20 in 2012.

Seager went 3-for-5 Sunday against the Rangers with three RBI on three doubles and two runs scored.
EDGE Analysis
Seagers was a two-bagger machine Sunday, hitting two off Rangers starter Yu Darvish. This performance came at just the right time for Seager, who entered the day with just five hits over his previous seven games (32 at-bats).

Seager went 2-for-6 with two RBI from a fielder's choice and a single in Monday's 14-3 win over the Twins.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran has hit his stride at the plate, posting four multi-hit efforts in his last seven games and hitting safely in seven of the last eight contests overall. While Seager remains considerably off the home-run pace he established last season when he blasted a career-high 30 round trippers, his current hard contact rate of 38.2 percent would serve as the second highest of his career over a full season.

EDGE Analysis
