Seager won't be in Wednesday's lineup after he fouled a ball off his foot in Tuesday's game, the Seattle Times' Ryan Divish reports.
EDGE Analysis
It sounds like just a sore foot for Seager, and he will likely make way for Shawn O'Malley at third base Wednesday, as the Mariners are carrying just one backup infielder on the active roster. Consider Seager day-to-day in advance of Thursday's game against the White Sox.

Seager went 3-for-4 with a home run, two RBI and two runs in a win over the Pirates.
EDGE Analysis
The home run was Seager's 20th of the season, and the pair of RBI brought his season haul to 67. He's been having a marvelous season at age 28, and his .288/.364/.535 batting line would be a career best in each category. Seager has remarkably been even better of late, hitting .368/.415/.684 in July.

EDGE Analysis
Seager had his average up to .299 on June 3, but since then he's hit .200, dropping his average to .268. He's been streaky with the average this season, but his power has been consistent. His 16 homers are a career high before the All-Star break, as are his .505 SLG and .858 OPS. His 52 RBI are tied for second in the AL among third basemen.

Seager hit his 15th home run in a 1-for-4 game with two RBI in Tuesday's loss to Detroit.
EDGE Analysis
Seager has now homered in consecutive games and has four home runs in the past week. His batting average is slumping, down from .299 on June 3 to .269 after Tuesday's performance, but the power is still there. Seager has just a 14.9 percent strikeout rate, so he's capable of making that batting average climb again.
