  • Taking seat Saturday
    Renfroe is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against Seattle.

    Advice: Renfroe will begin Saturday's contest in the dugout after going 1-for-4 with two RBI in the series opener Friday. He's currently on a seven-game hitting streak, going 9-for-26 with four doubles, one home run and five RBI over that span. The lefty-hitting Adam Frazier will start in right field and bat seventh against Mariners right-hander Luis Castillo. Rotowire.com 49 minutes ago
  • Throws light bullpen Friday
    Munoz (back) threw a light bullpen session before Friday's game against the Royals per Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times, but the reliever did not appear in the contest.

    Advice: Divish had noted there was a possibility Munoz would be available for the first time since exiting Tuesday's game against the Athletics, but it was Ryne Stanek who got the ninth-inning call and ultimately failed to protect a 9-7 lead. With Stanek having appeared in three of the last four games and having thrown 39 pitches in the last two nights, Munoz would certainly be in line for any high-leverage work Saturday if he's healthy enough to handle it.

  • Ramping up activity
    Polanco (hamstring) has been ramping up baseball activities but will require a minor-league rehab assignment before activation, MLB.com reports.

    Advice: The veteran infielder took full infield pregame practice during the Mariners' three-game road trip in Oakland earlier in the week, and there were no reported setbacks. However, manager Scott Servais confirmed before Friday's series opener against the Royals that Polanco would require at least a brief rehab assignment, which would likely unfold at Triple-A Tacoma in coming days.
