Jean Segura absent for Mariners' Thursday due to forearm infection

Seattle Mariners shortstop Jean Segura is out of Thursday's lineup against the New York Yankees due to a right forearm infection.

What It Means:

Segura isn't expected to miss much time and could be back as early as Friday's series opener against the Boston Red Sox. Andrew Romine is starting at shortstop and batting ninth for the Mariners on Thursday afternoon versus right-hander Luis Severino and the Yankees.

Segura is averaging 12.3 FanDuel points per game this season. Assuming the arm issue remains minor, numberFire's models currently project him to hit .300 with 8 homers, 34 RBI, 15 steals, and 51 runs scored over the rest of the year.
