Fantasy Impact: France will take a seat on the bench for Tuesday night’s contest, with Luke Raley starting at first base and batting seventh for manager Scott Servais against the Reds.

Jorge Polanco went 1-for-3 with a home run, three RBI, and three runs scored in the Mariners' 9-3 victory over the Reds.

Fantasy Impact: Despite a sluggish start to the season with a .203 batting average, Polanco's performance in this game showcased his potential to deliver power and production. His three-run homer and pair of walks contributed significantly to the team's win, hinting at a possible turnaround. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on Polanco, as his ability to draw walks and occasional power surges could provide value, especially in leagues that reward on-base percentage.

Mitch Haniger had a productive outing in the Mariners' 9-3 victory over the Reds, going 2-for-3 with a home run, a double, two runs scored, and three RBI.

Fantasy Impact: This performance underscores his solid start to the season, boosting his batting average to .286 and his RBI count to 11 through 16 games. Haniger's ability to contribute power and consistent run production makes him a valuable asset in fantasy lineups. His knack for extra-base hits and driving in runs can be valuable for fantasy managers looking for outfield productivity.

George Kirby delivered a solid performance in Monday's 9-3 win against the Reds, tossing six innings and allowing two earned runs on five hits while striking out six and walking none.

Fantasy Impact: This outing marked a significant improvement for Kirby, whose season ERA of 6.64 and WHIP of 1.33 have painted a less flattering picture of his 2024 campaign. The zero walks and consistent strikeouts are encouraging signs, suggesting potential for better control and efficiency moving forward.

Jonatan Clase is making his MLB debut on Monday for the Mariners against the Reds.

Fantasy Impact: It was announced late Sunday night that Seattle was calling up Clase. It became official on Monday with Dominic Canzone placed on the injured list. Clase is hitting No. 8 in the lineup and starting in left field against Frankie Montas and the Reds.

Fantasy Impact: This is great news for the Mariners and Canzone, as it means he will avoid surgery. Fantasy managers can expect that Canzone will still require a few weeks to heal up before he can return to the active roster.

Luke Raley is in the Mariners lineup on Monday against the Reds.

Fantasy Impact: After getting traded to Seattle in the offseason, Raley has made just 23 plate appearances so far this season. He is starting in right field for Seattle.

Mitch Garver is not in the Mariners lineup on Monday against the Reds.

Fantasy Impact: Garver gets the day off. He is off to a slow start this year, hitting just .156 at the plate. Mitch Haniger is serving as the DH for Seattle with Luke Raley starting in right field.

Fantasy Impact: Barker will report to Triple-A Tacoma. He debuted two years ago with the Brewers and missed all of last season after undergoing Tommy John surgery.

Luis Castillo allowed three runs (two earned) on seven hits over six innings against the Cubs.

Fantasy Impact: Castillo is now 0-4 on the season, though he pitched much better in this outing compared to his first three appearances. He is scheduled to face the Rockies next on the road.

Bryce Miller delivered a stellar performance, tossing 6 1/3 scoreless innings, allowing just three hits and three walks while striking out four in the Mariners' 4-2 win over the Cubs on Friday.

Fantasy Impact: This outing continues a strong start to the season for Miller, holding opponents scoreless in each of his last two starts on the mound for the Mariners. The 25-year-old continues to provide fantasy managers with a reliable starting option as part of a talented Seattle rotation, posting an impressive 0.98 WHIP and 1.96 ERA in three starts on the mound so far this season.

Andres Munoz pitched 1.1 scoreless innings and picked up the win in a game where the Mariners took down the Blue Jays in extra innings.

Fantasy Impact: Munoz added a rare win to go along with his two early-season saves. He is one of the top closers in fantasy baseball and remains a must-start option in all leagues.

In a commanding display against the Toronto Blue Jays, Logan Gilbert showcased why he's a must-have in fantasy rotations, despite the Mariners' offense not securing him a win.

Fantasy Impact: Over 7.2 innings, Gilbert limited the Jays to a mere run on five hits, walking one and striking out eight. This performance, characterized by precision and dominance, should quell any lingering doubts about his fantasy relevance. His ERA now sits at an impressive 2.66 with a 0.84 WHIP through three starts.

Gregory Santos is reportedly working towards throwing off the mound soon. (Source: Ryan Divish on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Once Santos can throw off the mound, he'll likely face live hitters and then potentially head on a rehab assignment. He remains without a clear timetable to return.

Fantasy Impact: Urias continues to split time at third base with Josh Rojas for the Mariners. He is hitting .176 so far this season with one home run.
