Seattle Mariners

As Scott White mentioned in a recent analysis, Morse is the apparent victim of bad luck on balls in play, as he has a .278 BABIP, as compared to a .339 career rate. Meanwhile, Morse is hitting with his customary home run power, but he has only four doubles. He should start collecting more two-baggers going forward, as his current total is depressed by a .077 BABIP on flyballs.

It's no time to bench Morse, and if you don't already own him, find his owner, who might be frustrated and ready to sell low.

It was Chavez's first home run since July 16 of last season. Chavez is batting .289 with five RBI through 26 games.

"He just came off the plate," Wedge said. "He just released too early. You’ve got to keep your foot planted. You’re not going to turn two on that, so you’ve just got to keep your foot planted on that."

The 23-year-old Montero continues to be more prized for his hitting than his fielding, but he has gone 7 for 34 (.206) in May with a homer and two RBI. He's struck out six times during the month. Montero is batting .206 on the season with three homers and nine RBI over 97 at-bats. 

Seager is batting .246 (15 for 61) with three doubles, three home runs and nine RBI in 16 May games.

The problem? His home run that briefly gave the Mariners the lead in the 10th inning Monday at Cleveland was just his third this season. He could walk 100 times and not amount to anything at the deep first base position if he tops out at a dozen homers.

For what it's worth, both Smoak and Eric Wedge think the home runs will come if Smoak continues to wait for his pitch and not try to yank everything out of the ballpark -- something he struggled with his first few years in the league -- but until we see some evidence of it, I don't see the need to rush out and grab him in Fantasy.

Morales had two doubles, one run and two RBI Monday. He's batting .305 (18 for 59) with two home runs, six doubles and 11 RBI in 15 May games.

Wilhelmsen walked a batter in an otherwise perfect inning. He threw 12 pitches, five for strikes, and his ERA 0.45. Wilhelmsen blew his first save Monday at Cleveland but has allowed one earned run over 20 innings with 15 Ks. He has 11 saves. 

The starter entered the outing after being cleared during the week following his last outing against the Yankees when he tweaked his back. Hernandez had the shortest outing of his season as he threw 107 pitches over five innings, though it doesn't appear he was limited by the back.

Hernandez fell to 5-3 with a 2.07 ERA as he allowed six runs -- five earned -- on eight hits and two walks. He struck out eight. King Felix gave up two runs in the first inning and was down 5-0 after two as he allowed a three-run home run to Michael Brantley. Sunday marked the first time since April 11 that Hernandez allowed more than an earned run in any outing.

The 27-year-old snapped a four-game winning streak Sunday and will look to start another winning streak Saturday against Texas.

Iwakuma was handed a 2-0 lead before he took the mound in the bottom of the first, but he gave up the lead in the bottom of the second inning as Ryan Raburn clubbed a three-run homer and Yan Gomes added a solo home run. Seattle battled back to tie the game at 4 in the third inning, but Iwakuma allowed Cleveland to jump back out to a one-run lead in the bottom of the inning. The right-hander then settled down to toss three scoreless innings before hitting the showers.

Iwakuma's ERA jumped from 1.84 to 2.37. He had allowed a total of five earned runs in his previous three starts. Iwakuma has failed to make it six innings just once this season.

Iwakuma, who hasn't lost a decision in his last five starts, will be back on the mound Sunday against the Rangers. He is 1-0 with a 1.35 ERA against Texas this season.
