Mountcastle is not in Tuesday's lineup against the Marlins, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

He heads to the bench for the first of a two-game series in Miami. Mountcastle's biggest flaw is his defense, so it's possible he will ride the pine again Wednesday without the designated hitter spot available.

France (forearm) is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Dodgers.

France exited Monday's game after getting hit in the right forearm by a pitch. He went through infield drills prior to the game, Shannon Drayer of 710 ESPN Seattle reports, so it's unlikely he's in line for a long absence, but he'll find himself on the bench for at least one game. The Mariners get an off day Wednesday, so he'll get to rest for at least two days before potentially returning to the lineup Thursday in Boston.

France left Monday's game against the Dodgers due to a right forearm contusion, Shannon Drayer of 710 ESPN Seattle reports.

France was drilled by a fastball Monday evening but managed to avoid a serious injury. His X-rays came back negative, per Drayer. France will be considered day-to-day moving forward.

France left Monday's game against the Dodgers after being struck by a pitch on his right forearm, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

France was hit by a 98 mph fastball in the bottom of the fifth inning, and while he was able to stay in the game to run the bases, he was pulled after he couldn't make throws from second base in the top of the sixth. There's a good chance France is headed for X-rays as a precaution, per Divish.

Vaughn is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Red Sox.

Vaughn will once again be on the bench against a right-handed starting pitcher (Nathan Eovaldi), opening up left field for Leury Garcia. The rookie had picked up starts in four of the White Sox's previous five games, so his playing time at least appears to be trending upward after he had been deployed in more of a part-time role in the first two weeks of the season.

France went 2-for-3 with a home run, three RBI, an additional run and a walk in Sunday's 7-2 win over the Astros.

Fresh off a walk-off hit Friday, France took Brooks Raley deep in the fifth inning. The 26-year-old is batting .305 and leads the Mariners with a .400 OBP. He has recorded at least one hit in 12 of his 16 games. However, Sunday was only his second game where he didn't strike out in any of his plate appearances.

Abreu went 1-for-3 with a run scored in a 3-2 win over the Red Sox in the first game of Sunday's doubleheader.

Abreu has now hit in two games in a row and scored a run for the first time since April 8. It hasn't been a productive start of the year for the 2020 AL MVP, as he's barely hitting above the Mendoza Line and only has two multi-hit performances in 2021.

Lowe went 1-for-4 with an RBI single and a walk in Sunday's 1-0 extra-inning win over the Orioles.

Lowe came up to bat with two outs and the bases loaded in the 10th inning, and he delivered a single to score Eli White for the game's lone run. The 25-year-old Lowe is now batting .230 with four homers, 16 RBI, seven runs scored and two stolen bases in 16 contests.

Dalbec is out of the lineup for the second game of Sunday's doubleheader with the White Sox, Julian McWilliams of The Boston Globe reports.

Dalbec heads to the bench after he went 2-for-3 with a double in the Red Sox's 3-2 loss earlier in the day to raise his season average to .216. Marwin Gonzalez will replace Dalbec at first base for Game 2.

Voit (knee) is taking groundballs and will start swinging a bat Tuesday, Pete Caldera of The Bergen Record reports.

Voit continues inching toward a return from his surgery in late March to repair a partially torn meniscus in his left knee. With the 30-year-old still weeks away from activation and Jay Bruce announcing his retirement Sunday, DJ LeMahieu will continue serving as the Yankees' starting first baseman while Rougned Odor fills in at second base.
