Seager spent all 11 of his major-league seasons with the Mariners and served as an everyday player for most of his career. Across his 11 years in the big leagues, the 34-year-old slashed .251/.321/.442 with 242 home runs, 807 RBI, 705 runs and 55 stolen bases.

Rotowire
Seager went 3-for-5 with a solo home run and a double Wednesday in 4-1 win over Oakland.
The veteran third baseman put Seattle on the board in the fourth inning with a 406-foot solo shot to center field. The long ball gave him 100 RBI on the season, marking the first time he has reached that milestone in his big-league career. Seager's .216 batting average isn't appealing, but he has provided solid output with 35 homers, 71 runs and three stolen bases in 149 games.

Mariners' Kyle Seager: Managing elbow soreness
Rotowire
Seager is out of the lineup Sunday against the Royals due to right elbow soreness, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.
Seager has apparently been playing through the injury the past few games, and he'll receive a day to rest up Sunday. The 33-year-old should be considered day-to-day while Dylan Moore takes over at the hot corner for Seattle.
Seager went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's loss to the Astros.
The 33-year-old took reliever Yimi Garcia deep in the sixth inning, giving him 34 long balls on the year. Seager has posted a career worst .212 batting average this season but the home runs mark a career high to go along with 94 RBI.

Mariners' Kyle Seager: Snaps tie in extras Sunday
Rotowire
Seager went 1-for-6 with a go-ahead two-run double and a run in an extra-innings win over the Diamondbacks on Sunday.
Seager was having a tough afternoon on the heels of his six-RBI breakout Saturday until he laced a double to shallow right field in the 11th with the bases loaded Sunday. The two-bagger plated J.P. Crawford and Mitch Haniger to snap 3-3 tie and inched Seager ever closer to the first 100-RBI campaign of his career by pushing his total to 93 across 135 games.

Mariners' Kyle Seager: Drives in six Saturday
Rotowire
Seager went 2-for-5 with a pair of home runs and six RBI in a win over the Diamondbacks on Saturday.
The veteran third baseman plated six of Seattle's eight runs in the contest, blasting a three-run homer in each of the first and sixth innings. It was Seager's second multi-homer game this season, and the six RBI tied a career high. The 33-year-old is up to a career-best 33 homers on the campaign, 12 of which have come against left-hander hurlers. Though his batting average sits at a lowly .214, Seager's power and run production -- he has 91 RBI on the campaign -- have helped him remain a viable fantasy asset.

Mariners' Kyle Seager: Rejoins lineup
Rotowire
Seager (back) will start at third base and bat third Sunday against the Royals.
Seager sat out Saturday's 4-2 loss with back tightness, but the Mariners never seemed concerned that the issue would result in him missing additional action. Assuming Seager comes out of Sunday's series finale without any setbacks, fantasy managers can probably feel comfortable with keeping him in lineups ahead of the Mariners' upcoming six-game week.

Mariners' Kyle Seager: Battling back tightness
Rotowire
Seager's day off Saturday against the Royals is due to back tightness, Daniel Guerrero of MLB.com reports.
Seager rarely finds himself on the bench, and it turns out that he wasn't simply due for a routine off day Saturday but is instead working through a seemingly minor injury. The Mariners have yet to decide whether or not he's available off the bench, but the fact that it's at least a possibility he appears in some capacity may hint that he isn't in for a long absence.

Mariners' Kyle Seager: Swats homer in blowout defeat
Rotowire
Seager went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Friday's 12-3 loss to the Astros.
Seager got the Mariners on the board with a solo blast off Lance McCullers in the fourth inning, but by that point, the Astros had already put up seven runs and would keep on scoring. The 33-year-old third baseman has had a strange year. He's two home runs away from tying the career-best 30 long balls he had in 2016, but he's also heading towards a career-low batting average. Seager is slashing .219/.294/.453 with 49 extra-base hits, 79 RBI, 53 runs scored and three steals. He's currently striking out 24.7 percent of the time, a one year removed from posting a career-low 13.3 strikeout percentage.
