Garver is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Angels.
Garver is in the midst of a rough stretch at the plate, having gone hitless with eight strikeouts in his last five starts and 2-for-29 with a 32.4 percent strikeout rate over his past eight games. The ongoing slump looks to have cost him a regular spot in the lineup, as Garver will miss out Wednesday on the Mariners' third straight matchup with a right-handed pitcher (Griffin Canning). Jason Vosler will get a second straight start at designated hitter and may have overtaken Garver as the Mariners' preferred option for the time being.
