Guillermo Heredia is not in the lineup Monday for Seattle's game against Cleveland.
Fantasy Implications: Heredia has appeared in 38 straight games, slashing a miserable .175/.252/.219 with only five extra-base hits and three RBI. Jacob Hannemann will take his place in center field and bat ninth.

Jean Segura to miss Monday's game
Jean Segura is not in the lineup Monday for Seattle's game against the Athletics.
Fantasy Implications: Segura sprained a finger in Saturday's contest against the Indians, sidelining him now for two consecutive games. The injury is not considered serious, but whether the 27-year-old shortstop will recover in time to finish the season is not known at this time. Taylor Motter will again take his place at shortstop.

Mike Leake credited with loss
Mike Leake (10-12) pitched 6 2/3 innings on Sunday, yielding three runs on seven hits in Seattle's 4-2 loss against the Indians. He walked none and struck out five.
Fantasy Implications: Despite losing his second straight game, Leake has pitched well since being traded to Seattle from St. Louis on August 30. In the 29-year-old right-hander's five Seattle appearances, four have been quality starts while recording a 3-2 record, 2.53 ERA and 27/2 K/BB over 32 innings. He has not surrendered over three runs in any of his Mariner starts. Leake is scheduled to make his final start of the 2017 campaign on Saturday against the Angels in Anaheim.

Jean Segura out of lineup
Jean Segura is not in the lineup Sunday for Seattle's game against the Indians.
Fantasy Implications: Segura exited Saturday's game with a sprained finger, and is considered day-to-day. Depending on the severity of the injury, it is possible the 27-year-old shortstop will not be available for the Mariner's remaining seven games. Taylor Motter will take his place at shortstop and bat ninth. Ben Gamel will take Segura's spot at the top of the order and leadoff for Seattle.

Nelson Cruz homers again
Nelson Cruz went 2-for-5 including a solo home run and scoring two runs in Seattle's 11-4 loss to the Indians on Saturday.
Fantasy Implications: Cruz' home run in the eighth inning was his 37th bomb of the season, and the fourth time he has homered in as many games. In that span, the veteran designated hitter is slashing a remarkable .429/.556/1.286. Fantasy owners should look to Cruz to extend his latest power surge through the final seven games of the 2017 campaign.

Andrew Moore credited with loss
Andrew Moore (1-5) allowed three runs (two earned) on five hits over four innings, and was tagged with the loss in Seattle's 11-4 defeat to the Indians on Saturday. He struck out three and walked none.
Fantasy Implications: Moore has done an admirable job filling in as a member of the Mariners' depleted rotation. In his three September starts coming into tonight's game, the 23-year-old right-hander recorded a fine 3.24 ERA and 0.84 WHIP over 16 2/3 innings. However his 2017 campaign's 5.34 ERA and meager 4.7 K/9 illustrate the true limitations of Moore's fantasy value. He is scheduled to make his last start of the season on Friday against the Angels in Anaheim.

Nelson Cruz hits walk-off home run
Nelson Cruz went 2-for-3 including a walk-off two-run blast to lead the Mariners to a 3-1 victory over the Indians on Friday night.
Fantasy Implications: Cruz is closing out the 2017 season on another power surge. His walk-off homer off of Cody Allen in the bottom of the ninth inning was his third opposite field long ball in as many games, and his 36th home run of the year. In addition, the veteran slugger continues to tack onto his American League RBI total, which now stands at 114. With eight games left to play, Cruz has the chance to hit reach the 40 homer mark for his fourth straight season.
