Luis Torrens sitting Thursday for Seattle

Seattle Mariners designated hitter Luis Torrens is not in the starting lineup for Thursday afternoon's series finale against right-hander Chris Bassitt and the Oakland Athletics.

What It Means:

Torrens hasn't started back-to-back games since last weekend. Kyle Seager is covering the DH role and batting third Thursday. Dylan Moore is on the hot corner and hitting eighth. Jake Fraley is entering the lineup to play left field and hit seventh.

numberFire’s models project Seager for 14.9 FanDuel points and he has a $4,000 salary on Thursday’s slate.
