    • Mitch Garver (back) likely available off bench
      Mitch Garver could be available off the bench Wednesday after missing Tuesday’s game with back spasms.

      Advice: Nice to see that Garver is apparently feeling better. Mitch Haniger is starting at DH today. Rotoworld Wednesday, 11:29 am
       
    • Out Wednesday with back spasms
      Garver (back) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Royals, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: He'll remain on the bench for the second day in a row while he manages upper-back spasms. Mitch Haniger will get a day out of the outfield and serve as the Mariners' designated hitter while Garver rests up. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 11:05 am
       
    • Mitch Garver day-to-day with back spasms
      Mitch Garver is day-to-day with upper back spasms.

      Advice: Mariners manager Scott Servais told reporters late Tuesday that Garver was scratched shortly before first pitch out of an abundance of caution since they were already shorthanded with Jorge Polanco (hamstring) on the bench. It doesn’t sound like a major concern moving forward, but given Garver’s struggles, it wouldn’t be a total shock to see him head to the injured list for a bit of an extended mental reset.

    • Battling back spasms
      Garver was scratched from Seattle's lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against Kansas City due to upper-back spasms, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: The 33-year-old backstop missed a few games in March due to back spasms, though manager Scott Servais said Garver's current injury is unrelated to his previous issue. No timeline was given for his return, but it's possible the M's hold him out for a game or two in order to allow him to properly recover. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 9:35 pm
       
    • Late scratch Tuesday
      Garver (undisclosed) was scratched from the Mariners' lineup Tuesday versus the Royals.

      Advice: Garver was originally set to operate as the team's designated hitter and bat third Tuesday, but he'll now take a seat. It's unclear what caused the 33-year-old to be scratched, and more information will likely be provided following the contest. In the meantime, Mitch Haniger will slot in at designated hitter while Sam Haggerty will enter the lineup in left field and bat ninth against Kansas City. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 5:58 pm
       
    • Mitch Garver scratched from Tuesday’s lineup
      Mitch Garver has been scratched from the lineup for Tuesday’s game against the Royals.

      Advice: No word yet on the reason for the change. The 33-year-old veteran slugger has been ice-cold this season in his Seattle debut, batting just .174 (21-for-121) with five homers and 13 RBI in 143 plate appearances over 36 contests. Rotoworld Tuesday, 5:55 pm
       
    • Homers, plates three RBI in win
      Garver went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer, a walk and three RBI in Sunday's 8-4 win over the Athletics.

      Advice: Garver extended the Mariners' lead with a two-run blast in the fifth and also got things rolling for the M's with an RBI single in the opening frame. The two hits ended a mini three-game slump for the 33-year-old, though he's still been hitting well in May, slashing .300/.405/.567 with two homers, six RBI and five runs over his last eight games.

    • Lifts fourth homer Wednesday
      Garver went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in a loss to the Twins on Wednesday.

      Advice: 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.

    • Mitch Garver slugs solo homer in loss to Twins
      Mitch Garver went 2-for-3 with a solo homer and a walk against the Twins on Wednesday.

      Advice: After drawing a walk in the second inning, Garver put the Mariners on the board in the fourth with a solo homer off Chris Paddack, extending his hitting streak to five games. He added a base hit in the sixth for his second hit of the day. The 33-year-old slugger is slashing .181/.290/.352 with four homers and 10 RBI across 124 plate appearances.
