White was placed on the 10-day injured list Friday with a hip flexor issue, Shannon Drayer of 710 ESPN Seattle reports.

Manager Scott Servais confirmed that White is IL-bound, and Ty France (wrist) is said to be joining him. White seemed to be improving the quality of his at-bats and slowly turning things around, but this will interrupt his progress. Jose Marmolejos is starting at first base Friday.

France (wrist) will be placed on the 10-day injured list Friday, Dick Fain of Sportsradio 950 KJR reports.

Apparently the Mariners need to do some more roster shuffling. Evan White is on the IL as well with a hip flexor issue. It's not clear when France sustained his injury, but he hasn't seemed like himself for a while (3-for-his-last-48).

France is not in the lineup for Friday's game against Cleveland.

France has endured a very rough time at the plate lately, grabbing just two hits in his last 11 games. Mitch Haniger will rest his legs as the designated hitter Friday, with Sam Haggerty starting in right field.

White is not in the lineup for Friday's game against Cleveland.

Jarred Kelenic's arrival Thursday doesn't directly impact White, as Kelenic is strictly an outfielder, but it could still have an indirect effect throughout the roster. Jose Marmolejos, who's spent time both in the outfield and at first base, will start in White's place Friday.

Gurriel (illness) is starting at first base and batting fifth Friday against the Rangers, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

The 36-year-old sat out Thursday after exiting Wednesday's contest while feeling under the weather, but he's good to go Friday. Gurriel has a .952 OPS with three homers, four doubles, 14 RBI and seven runs in 11 games since the start of May.

Abreu is considered day-to-day with a facial bruise and laceration after leaving the first game of Friday's doubleheader against the Royals. He tested negative for a concussion during the initial diagnosis.

The 34-year-old appears to have escaped serious injury after a hard collusion with Hunter Dozier during Friday's matinee. Abreu hasn't been ruled out but is unlikely to be available for the second game of the twin bill.

Abreu was removed from the first game of Friday's doubleheader against the Royals after a collision with Hunter Dozier, Joel Goldberg of Bally Sports Kansas City reports.

Abreu was running down a popup from Dozier in between first base and home plate during the second inning, leading to a hard collision in the baseline. Both players remained down on the field for a few minutes before being removed from the contest. Abreu should be considered day-to-day and is likely unavailable for Friday's nightcap.

Dalbec went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Thursday's 8-1 win over the Athletics.

Dalbec was back in the lineup after sitting the previous two games, while Michael Chavis filled in at first base. Chavis started at second base Thursday, hit two doubles and scored two runs. Dalbec's inconsistent start to the season could open an opportunity for Chavis to get more playing time at first, if he significantly outplays Dalbec while up with the Red Sox.

Vaughn went 1-for-2 with two walks and an RBI in Thursday's 4-2 win over the Twins.

Vaughn's sixth-inning single plated Yoan Moncada with what eventually became the winning run. It was the second consecutive game with an RBI for Vaughn, who has knocked in five runs over the last eight games. The rookie began the season with just one RBI over his first 17 contests.

Voit is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Rays.

The Yankees are likely just building in a rest day for Voit after he started both of the past two days following his return from the 10-day injured list. The early returns weren't overly promising (0-for-6 with a walk), but Voit should gradually settle in at the plate once he gets more at-bats under his belt. Mike Ford will fill in for Voit at first base Thursday.
