Fantasy Impact: The veteran outfielder is just 1-for-24 (.042 AVG) in the past seven games. With left-hander CC Sabathia pitching for New York, it was an easy decision to send Dyson to the bench for tonight's game. Guillermo Heredia will take his place in center field.

Fantasy Impact: Povse was sent down to Tacoma to make room for recently acquired right-hander David Phelps. Povse pitched one inning of relief last night allowing two unearned runs against the Yankees after being recalled from Tacoma earlier in the day.

Fantasy Impact: O'Neill was a third-round pick (85th overall) of the Mariners in the 2013 draft. He was batting .244 with 19 home runs, 56 RBIs, 21 doubles, two triples and nine stolen bases through 93 games for Triple-A Tacoma in the Pacific Coast League. Gonzales, 25, was a first round pick (19th overall) in the 2013 draft. He missed the entire 2016 season because of Tommy John surgery. In parts of three major-league seasons, he posted a 4-2 record with a 5.53 ERA in seven starts and five relief appearances. Gonzales will be under club control through the 2023 season. He will report to Class AAA Tacoma.
