Fantasy Impact: Dyson missed the last four games because
of a jammed toe he sustained last weekend when crashing into the
outfield wall. The center fielder will bat eighth in the series opener.
Dyson has been mired in a deep slump since the All Star break,
slashing .036/.069/.036 while collecting only one hit in his last 28
plate appearances in 9 games. Perhaps the time off will have been
enough to clear his head.

Taylor Motter optioned by Mariners to Triple-A Tacoma
Taylor Motter has been optioned by Seattle to Triple-A Tacoma on Monday. In a corresponding move, the Mariners could add Danny Espinosa, who agreed to a Major League contract with the team on Sunday, to the active roster.
Motter, a 27 year-old infielder, has cooled off considerably, hitting .180 with two home runs and 10 RBI's in his past 52 games. Motter's demotion was sealed when he made a costly base-running error in Sunday's game against the Yankees. He was picked off first base when he came on as a pinch runner in the bottom of the ninth with no outs, and the Mariners trailing by two runs.

Yovani Gallardo pitches five innings in a no-decision
Yovani Gallardo (4-7) allowed three earned runs on five hits and three walks while striking out five batters through five innings during Seattle's loss to New York on Sunday. He did not factor into the decision.
Fantasy Implications: Gallardo gave up the three runs on three solo homers, a lead off blast by Brett Gardner in the first inning, and two by Didi Gregorius in the second and fourth. Despite getting in and out of trouble all game, he was in line for the win. Unfortunately the bullpen coughed up the lead in the next inning. Gallardo's next start is scheduled to be against the Mets next weekend.

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: 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.
