White (quadriceps) will go through a pregame workout before the Mariners determine if he'll be available off the bench for Sunday's series finale in Minnesota, Shannon Drayer of 710 ESPN Seattle reports.

Jose Marmolejos is picking up a third straight start at first base in White's stead, but the Mariners remain hopeful that the latter can contribute as a pinch hitter. White's left quad still presented issues for him when he tested it prior to Saturday's game, so he may need to demonstrate some progress Sunday to improve his chances of avoiding a trip to the injured list.

White (quadriceps) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Twins.

White's strained left quad will keep him on the bench for a third straight game, allowing Jose Marmolejos to pick up another start at first base. The Mariners are still treating White as day-to-day, but a trip to the IL will grow more likely if he remains on the bench for Monday's series opener in Baltimore.

Dalbec went 0-for-3 with a walk and an RBI in Saturday's 6-4 extra-inning win over the Orioles.

Dalbec's contact issues have been prevalent early in 2021, but he managed to plate a run with a ninth-inning force out. With one out and men at the corners, he hit a grounder to short and beat the double-play throw from second base, allowing Marwin Gonzalez to score from third and sending the game into extra frames. Dalbec is 2-for-21 with nine strikeouts and a contact rate hovering around 50 percent.

Guerrero went 2-for-4 with two walks, a stolen base, three RBI and a run scored Saturday in a victory over the Angels.

Guerrero was one of a trio of Blue Jays hitters to drive in at least three runs in the blowout win. It was the second time in the last three days that the young star finished with three runs batted in, and his eight total RBI this season are tied with Randal Grichuk for the top mark on the club. Guerrero is off to a hot start to the campaign, slashing .379/.538/.621 with a pair of homers and an 8:6 BB:K.

Naylor isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Tigers.

Naylor had started every game for Cleveland to begin the season and went 5-for-22 with two doubles, one run and six strikeouts. Jordan Luplow will lead off and play right field during Saturday's matchup.

White (quadriceps) isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against Minnesota.

White will miss a second consecutive game after he left Wednesday's contest against the White Sox due to a left quad strain. Manager Scott Servais said Thursday that White is unlikely to require time on the injured list, Shannon Drayer of 710 ESPN Seattle reports. However, Jose Marmolejos will start at first base Saturday, batting fourth.

Olson went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run in a victory over the Astros on Friday.

Olson broke a 1-1 tie in the eighth inning, crushing a 414-foot shot to right field with a pair of runners on base. The first baseman entered the game having gone 0-for-11 over his past three games, and Friday's effort pushed his average up to .240 for the campaign.

Tellez isn't starting Friday's game against the Angels, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.

Tellez will take a seat for the fourth time in the last six games after he went hitless in his first 16 at-bats of the season. Randal Grichuk will serve as the designated hitter Friday while Jonathan Davis starts in center field.

France went 2-for-4 with an RBI single in a loss to the Twins on Thursday.

The 26-year-old put together his second multi-hit effort in the last three games. Thursday's production brought France's season slash to .346/.452/.538 over 31 plate appearances, and he's reached base safely in all seven games thus far.

Mountcastle went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run Thursday against the Red Sox.

Mountcastle got the O's going early, slugging his long ball in the bottom of the first inning. It was his first homer of the season and first extra-base hit since Opening Day. Though he's already racked up three runs scored and five RBI, Mountcastle is also hitting just .179 and will have to improve upon his 36.7 percent strikeout rate to return significant fantasy value.
