Garver went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in a loss to the Twins on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Garver's fourth-inning solo shot to right field put the Mariners on the board and served as his third time leaving the yard in the last 11 contests. Garver has also reached safely in six consecutive games, perhaps a sign he's finally beginning to work out of the extended slump that's defined the first month-plus of his tenure in Seattle.

Garver went 2-for-5 with an RBI double and another two-bagger in a win over the Astros on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Garver plated Jorge Polanco with his fourth-inning double, giving him his fourth RBI over the last seven games. The veteran offseason acquisition's solid performance Saturday notwithstanding, the early portion of his Mariners tenure qualifies as a considerable disappointment that's illustrated by his anemic .152/.262/.315 slash line and 32.7 percent strikeout rate across 107 plate appearances.

Garver is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game against Atlanta.
EDGE Analysis
Garver looks to be getting a routine day off for the series finale. With Garver on the bench, Cal Raleigh will serve as Seattle's designated hitter, while Seby Zavala steps in as the Mariners' starting catcher.

Garver went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk Monday in a 2-1 win over Atlanta.
EDGE Analysis
It's been a rough season for Garver, as he's slashing just .150/.266/.313 through 94 plate appearances. However, Seattle has stuck with him as the team's primary DH, and that decision paid off Monday when he launched a two-run, ninth-inning shot to give the Mariners a come-from-behind win. Garver could be building a bit of momentum, as he's gone deep in two of his past four games.

Garver is not in the starting lineup for Game 2 of Sunday's doubleheader in Colorado.
EDGE Analysis
Garver will take a seat after he went 0-for-4 with two punchouts in the team's 2-1 extra-inning Game 1 loss Sunday. Cal Raleigh will slot in at designated hitter while Seby Zavala enters the lineup at catcher and bats ninth in the nightcap.

Garver went 1-for-3 with two walks and a run in a win over the Rockies on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Garver's three trips on the basepaths helped pushed his on-base percentage over the .300 mark (.308), a number that particularly stands out when considering it sits between a .170 average and .283 slugging percentage on his slash line. The veteran has managed to reach safely in seven straight games, however, and when his .222 BABIP eventually normalizes some, the other two figures should see some appreciable boosts.

Garver went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in a win over the Reds on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Garver finally connected on his first round tripper of the season in the sixth inning, snapping a 1-1 tie with a 393-foot shot to left field off Andrew Abbott. The veteran's blast also served as his fourth extra-base hit overall (out of eight total hits), but he's still sporting an ugly .160/.283/.280 slash line through his first 60 plate appearances.

Garver went 0-for-2 with two walks in a win over the Cubs on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Garver, like many of his teammates, continues to underperform offensively early in the season, but he managed to make an impact Friday with the help of some solid pitch selection and discipline. The offseason addition has only a trio of extra-base hits -- all doubles -- and a .158/.250/.237 slash line through 44 plate appearances, numbers that are partly the byproduct of his 1-for-14 showing at the plate over his last four contests.

Garver went 1-for-3 with a double and a walk in a loss to the Guardians on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
The noteworthy offseason acquisition laced one of four two-baggers on the night for the Mariners, with the double serving as his first hit since returning from a two-game absence due to back spasms. Garver had also reached safely in his first game back Monday, however, drawing a free pass and scoring a run over four plate appearances. The fact he was able to suit up in back-to-back games implies Garver is past his physical issues for the time being.

Garver (back) is starting at designated hitter and batting fifth in Monday's game against the Guardians.
EDGE Analysis
After starting in the season opener Thursday, Garver missed the next three games against the Red Sox due to back spasms. The 33-year old appears over the injury and will start at DH for Monday's game. With Garver returning, Mitch Haniger will move back to right field while Luke Raley returns to the bench.
