Jarrod Dyson is not in the lineup on Tuesday for Seattle's game against the Astros.
Fantasy Implications: This is the third consecutive game that Dyson will miss because of tweaked groin injury that had put him on the 10-day disabled list a few weeks ago. Consider him day-to-day for now. Guillermo Heredia will take his place in center field and bat ninth.

Daniel Vogelbach recalled from Triple-A
Daniel Vogelbach was recalled from Triple-A Tacoma by the Mariners on Monday.
Fantasy Implications: Vogelbach will be making his third appearance with the big-club this year. In his limited playing time with Seattle, he went 3-for-17 (.176 AVG) with no homers and one RBI. The 24-year-old first baseman, however, has had a successful year with the Rainiers. In Tacoma, he boasts of a .290/.388/.455 slash line, with 17 homers, 83 RBIs and 65 runs scored in 459 at-bats. He will play first base or be used as a designated hitter with the big-team. Because his playing time will once again be limited, he offers little to no fantasy value. In a corresponding move, the Mariners designated pitcher Evan Scribner for assignment.

Kyle Seager produces multi-hit game
Kyle Seager went 2-for-4, hitting a solo-shot and an RBI single in Seattle's loss to the Astros on Sunday.
Fantasy Implications: It was Seager's first multi-hit performance and first homer in his last 10 games, a span where he hit only .189/.279./.297 with four RBI and two extra-base hits. The 29-year-old third baseman will have a difficult time simulating his 2016 career season (.278, 30 HR, 99 RBI and 89 R), but has still benefited most fantasy GM's this year with .254 AVG, 20 HR, 71 RBI and 57 R.

Marc Rzepczynski takes loss
Marc Rzepczynski (2-1) allowed a single and a walk to the only two batters he faced, but suffered the loss when both came around to score in Seattle's 6-2 defeat to the Astros.
Fantasy Implications: Rzepczynski entered the game to start the sixth inning, and gave up a single to Marwin Gonzalez and a walk to Brian McCann. He was relieved by Nick Vincent, who surrendered a line drive double to Alex Bregman, allowing both Gonzalez and McCann to score. The two earned- runs charged to Rzepczynski caused his ERA to rise from 3.10 to 3.72. The veteran southpaw has been a consistent bridge to the back end of the bullpen, and has 19 holds on the year, a career best. Consider Sunday's performance a minor blip on the radar.

Erasmo Ramirez delivers quality start
Erasmo Ramirez gave up two runs on two hits, while walking two and striking out five over six innings in the Mariners 6-2 loss to Houston on Sunday. He did not factor into the decision.
Fantasy Ramifications: Ramirez has been Seattle's most reliable starter lately, tempering the rash of injuries that have ravaged the team's rotation. The 27-year-old right-hander pitched well, with his only damage coming from a pair of solo shots from Yulieski Gurriel and Brian McCann in the fifth inning. The outing was Ramirez' fifth quality start in as many appearances, in which he has recorded an impressive 2.40 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 6.9 K/9. His next scheduled start is Sunday against the Angels at Safeco Field.

Mike Marjama makes big-league debut
Mike Marjama made his Major League debut on Sunday in Seattle's 10-2 victory over Oakland. He entered the game as a ninth-inning defensive replacement for Carlos Ruiz and did not come to bat.
Fantasy Implications: Marjama's contract was selected from Triple-A Tacoma on Friday. The 28-year-old backstop was acquired by the Mariners along with right-handed pitcher Ryan Garton from the Rays on August 6 in exchange for pitcher Anthony Misiewicz and infielder Luis Rengifo. He spent the entire year at Triple-A, both in Tacoma and Durham, batting .250/.321/.424 with 12 home runs and 63 RBIs. He offers no fantasy value at this time.

Zac Curtis designated for assignment
Zac Curtis was designated for assigment by Seattle on Monday.
Fantasy Implications: Curtis was designated for assignment to make room on the 40-man roster for Jacob Hannemann and Seth Franklin, who both were claimed off waivers from the Cubs. Curtis appeared in three games for the Mariners this season, allowing three unearned runs on three hits and giving up one homer over 4 2/3 innings. He walked one and struck out one, but also plunked two batters and uncorked two wild pitches. He was acquired on November 23, 2016 from the Diamondbacks along with Jean Segura and Mitch Haniger in exchange for Taijuan Walker and Ketel Marte. He offers no fantasy value, even if claimed on waivers by another big-league team.
