Shed Long on Mariners' bench Thursday afternoon

Seattle Mariners infielder Shed Long is not starting in Thursday afternoon's series finale versus right-hander Joe Musgrove and the Pittsburgh Pirates.

What It Means:

Long extended his hitting streak to six games on Wednesday with a double out of the leadoff spot. He's yielding left field to Braden Bishop and the top of the order to Kyle Lewis on Thursday.

Long is averaging 9.1 FanDuel points through his first 32 games in the pros.
