    • Returns to lineup Friday
      Raley (lat) is starting in left field and batting eighth Friday against the Angels.

      Advice: Lat soreness prevented Raley from starting during Thursday's loss to the Astros, but the issue appears to have subsided prior to Friday's contest. The 29-year-old outfielder is slashing .292/.346/.486 since the beginning of May, but he has been in a slump recently, tallying just one hit in 19 at-bats while striking out 10 times in his last seven games.

    • Launches game-winning homer
      Martinez went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Thursday's win over the Diamondbacks.

      Advice: The 36-year-old DH came up big for the Mets, breaking a 2-2 tie in the bottom of the eighth inning by crushing the first pitch he saw from Ryan Thompson to straightaway center field. Martinez is settling into a groove, slashing .279/.323/.508 over his last 15 games with five doubles, three homers and nine RBI, but his 36.9 percent strikeout rate during that time is still worrisome.

    • J.D. Martinez hits go-ahead homer in eighth
      J.D. Martinez hit a go-ahead homer in the eighth inning to help the Mets to a win over the Diamondbacks on Thursday.

      Advice: Martinez came up huge for the Mets with a solo homer in the eighth to give New York a 3-2 lead and ultimately the victory. The 36-year-old isn’t the same dynamic offensive player he was a few years ago, but he’s still capable of providing success as seen in his .276/.313/.475 slash since joining the team near the end of April.

    • Nursing sore lat
      Raley is absent from the Mariners' lineup Thursday due to a sore lat, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

      Advice: It offers an explanation as to why Raley was not starting against the Astros even with a right-hander on the mound. The hope seems to be that it will be only a brief absence, so consider Raley day-to-day for the time being. Seattle has Dominic Canzone in left field and Mitch Haniger in right Thursday versus Houston. Rotowire.com Thursday, 11:32 am

    • Luke Raley out Thursday with lat soreness
      Luke Raley is not in the lineup for Thursday’s showdown against the Astros due to lat soreness.

      Advice: The Mariners want to give Raley a chance to rest, so he’ll take a seat with Mitch Garver at DH and Mitch Haniger sliding to right field. Raley started the month hot, but he’s now gone 1-for-21 over his last seven games. Hopefully, the lat is the main reason behind the mini-slump, so a night or two off will allow him to get back on track. Rotoworld Thursday, 10:41 am

    • Not among starting nine
      Raley is absent from the lineup for Thursday's game against the Astros.

      Advice: It's the first time since May 7 that Raley wasn't in the lineup when the Mariners were facing a right-hander. Seattle is going with Dominic Canzone and Mitch Haniger as its corner outfield duo against Spencer Arrighetti. Rotowire.com Thursday, 10:07 am

    • Two hits, stolen base in loss
      Alvarez went 2-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored in Wednesday's loss to the Mariners.

      Advice: Alvarez recorded a base hit in the top of the fourth before coming around to score Houston's only run of the contest on an RBI single from Jake Meyers. The outfielder would add another single in his next at-bat, giving him back-to-back multi-hit games, while also going on to swipe a bag for the second game in a row. Alvarez has now posted 10 multi-hit games this month and has nine extra-base hits in the stretch. Rotowire.com Thursday, 7:22 am

    • Plates pair in win
      Rodriguez went 2-for-4 with a pair of RBI singles in a win over the Astros on Tuesday.

      Advice: The surging slugger did it the small-ball way Tuesday, opening the scoring in the first inning with a timely knock that plated Josh Rojas before knocking in Ryan Bliss with an eighth-inning infield single. Rodriguez's bat has found life over the last four games, with Tuesday's tally qualifying as his third straight multi-hit effort and his pair of RBI pushing his total in that category over that span to seven.

    • Swipes bag in loss
      Alvarez went 2-for-4 with a stolen base in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Mariners.

      Advice: Alvarez was just one of two Astros to have more than one hit on the evening and he recorded his second steal of the year in the sixth. Alvarez now has four multi-hit efforts in his last eight games and nine total for the month of May. For the season, the 27-year-old is slashing .269/.347/.447 with nine homers, 22 RBI, 27 runs and a 41:23 K:BB in 236 plate appearances. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 4:16 am
