Mariners' Cole Young: Gives way to Arroyo vs. lefty
Rotowire
Young is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics.
Young had started each of the Mariners' last nine games, but after producing a poor .188/.333/.250 slash line during that stretch, he'll hit the bench Sunday. The Mariners called up one of their top prospects in Michael Arroyo from Triple-A Tacoma on Sunday, and he'll immediately enter the lineup in place of Young, starting at second base against left-hander Gage Jump. The right-handed-hitting Arroyo could end up settling into a platoon at the keystone with Young, who is batting .218/.278/.294 (69 wRC+) over 187 plate appearances versus lefties.

Rotowire
Young went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 9-2 win over the Phillies.
Young extended Seattle's lead to 8-2 in the fifth inning with his 16th homer of the year, a 356-foot shot off Zack Wheeler.

Overall, the 23-year-old Young is slashing .251/.310/.393 through 530 plate appearances this season with 62 runs scored, 57 RBI and three steals.

Young collected a season-high four RBI on Saturday in his 10th game of the season with at least three knocks.

Young is slashing .262/.319/.407 with 15 homers, 15 doubles, 56 RBI, 58 runs scored and three stolen bases over 497 plate appearances.

Mariners' Cole Young: Absent from Seattle lineup
Rotowire
Young (head) is not in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Yankees.
Young was removed from Wednesday's contest due to dizziness. He's no longer experiencing dizziness but is still not feeling great, per Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times. With southpaw Max Fried on the bump for the Yankees, it make sense to give the left-handed-hitting Young a day off. Brendan Donovan is sliding over to second base, and Weston Wilson will play third base for the Mariners.

Rotowire
Young went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run in a 4-3, extra-inning win over the Giants on Saturday.
Logan Webb dominated Seattle for six scoreless innings, giving up only one hit (a single by Young). However, the Giants' ace gifted the Mariners an opportunity when he walked a batter and hit another in the seventh frame, and Young made him pay with a game-tying, two-out, three-run blast to right-center field. It was the second baseman's 12th long ball of the season and pushed him into the Seattle lead with 46 runs batted in. The RBI total also ranks fifth among MLB second basemen.
