Moore is not in the lineup for Friday's game in Toronto.
Moore is coming off a monster series against the Reds, having gone 7-for-12 with two home runs and two stolen bases. Despite that, he will begin the series opener versus the Blue Jays on the bench. Miles Mastrobuoni will start at second base and hit seventh for the Mariners.

Mariners' Dylan Moore: Swats second homer
Rotowire
Moore went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in a loss to the Giants on Saturday.
Moore provided the only run for Seattle on his 411-foot solo shot to center field in the fifth inning. The long ball continued a hot start to the season for the utility man, as he is slashing .400/.500/.800 with two homers, two RBI, three runs and a stolen base through 18 plate appearances. Moore doesn't have a set position or an everyday starting role, but the Mariners have been finding ways to get him into contests consistently. In addition to entering three games as a pinch hitter, Moore has already logged time at first base, second base, third base and DH this season.

Mariners' Dylan Moore: Cracks first homer of 2025
Rotowire
Moore went 1-for-1 with two walks and a solo home run in Wednesday's 3-2 win over Detroit.
Moore smacked an 87-mph slider off Tarik Skubal deep to right field for what was ultimately the game-deciding home run. Two of Moore's three starts have come at second base, and his versatility to serve in the infield and outfield should allow him to see at least semi-regular playing time in 2025.

Rotowire
Moore was scratched from Sunday's spring lineup due to an illness, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.
Moore was originally slated to start at third base Sunday, but Miles Mastrobuoni has been moved there in his place. Moore will look to recover in time for Opening Day and is expected to serve in a utility role this season.

Mariners' Dylan Moore: Appears ticketed for utility role
Rotowire
Moore could end up serving mostly as a utility player this season as opposed to being an everyday starter, Tim Booth of The Seattle Times reports.
The Mariners have holes to fill in the infield following the offseason departures of Josh Rojas and Justin Turner from Seattle. Jorge Polanco is penciled in as the club's primary third baseman, and a strong spring training by Ryan Bliss has put him in contention to start at second base to open the season. Moore is just 3-for-34 this spring and could be on the outside looking in when it comes to an everyday role, but he should see plenty of action while bouncing all around the diamond in 2025. "I think as a utility player, when there is a spot open or there is availability for a spot, somebody goes down, that is also your job," Moore said. "So if there is a spot open, I always think that I am the guy to go fill that need for however long."

Mariners' Dylan Moore: Sluggish start in spring training
Rotowire
Moore went 0-for-3 in Monday's Cactus League game against Cleveland and is now 0-for-14 during spring training.
It's been a sluggish start to the spring for Moore, who is auditioning for the gig as Seattle's primary second baseman in 2025. Jorge Polanco is set to move to third base following the departure of Josh Rojas this past offseason, clearing up plenty of reps at the keystone. Moore has position eligibility in fantasy leagues essentially across the entire diamond and is capable of stealing bases in bunches when given consistent at-bats, so he remains a late-round flier in drafts this spring.

Mariners' Dylan Moore: Productive on bases Saturday
Rotowire
Moore went 0-for-3 with a walk, a hit-by-pitch, a stolen base and two runs in a win over the Rangers on Saturday.
Moore managed to still make an impact during a hitless effort, ringing up his 31st steal of the campaign and scoring on both occasions during which he reached safely. The 32-year-old has hit just .214 over 35 plate appearances in September, but he boasts a .343 on-base percentage in that same span thanks largely to a 14.3 percent walk rate.

Mariners' Dylan Moore: Reaches 30 steals Thursday
Rotowire
Moore went 1-for-2 with two walks and a stolen base in a win over the Yankees on Thursday.
Moore had his most active game offensively since Sept. 4 by getting on base three times, and he added his 30th steal of the campaign.

Mariners' Dylan Moore: Lifts 10th homer Friday
Rotowire
Moore went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in a win over the Cardinals on Friday.
Moore slugged a two-run shot in the sixth inning to extend the Mariners' lead to 3-0, giving him his second straight two-RBI effort. The round tripper also snapped a 31-game homerless drought for Moore, who'd last left the yard July 26. The veteran sports a .701 OPS for the season despite the drag of a .205 average, as he's knocked 36 of his 69 hits for extra bases and sports an 11.0 percent walk rate.

Mariners' Dylan Moore: Swipes bag, drives in two
Rotowire
Moore went 2-for-4 with a double, two RBI, a stolen base and a run scored in Wednesday's win over Oakland.
Moore drove home Luis Urias with a two-out RBI single in the fourth before going on to swipe his 29th bag of the campaign and his sixth over his last 10 games (though he only started in eight of those contests). The utility man would later add a double and a sacrifice fly during a seven-run seventh inning for Seattle, marking his second-straight start in which he logged multiple hits. Moore has also hit safely in four of his last six starts, batting .352 (6-for-17) over those games with three doubles, two RBI and five runs scored.

Mariners' Dylan Moore: Returning to bench Sunday
Rotowire
Moore is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels.
Moore had started each of the last four games while going 3-for-11 with two doubles and a stolen base, but he'll retreat to the bench while the Angels send right-hander Caden Dana to the hill. The utility man should continue to pick up regular starts against left-handed pitching, but his playing time versus righties may be more sporadic in September.

Mariners' Dylan Moore: Productive in Saturday's loss
Rotowire
Moore went 2-for-4 with a double, a stolen base and a run in a loss to the Angels on Saturday.
The veteran slotted in at the keystone and delivered his second double in the last three games as part of his first multi-hit effort since Aug. 9. Moore also recorded his career-high 28th steal following his fourth-inning single, allowing him to close out August with an impressive eight pilfers in 11 attempts across 23 games. Moore's defensive versatility and above-average pop should continue affording him near-everyday playing time during the final month of the regular season.

Mariners' Dylan Moore: Moves into short-side platoon role
Rotowire
Moore is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Rays.
Though he initially picked up most of the starts at shortstop after J.P. Crawford (finger) landed on the injured list July 23, Moore has since shifted into more of a utility role. He made both of his last two starts against left-handed pitching while seeing time in left field and at third base, and Moore has been held out of the lineup entirely in four consecutive matchups with right-handed pitchers. The Mariners seem content to roll with Leo Rivas their primary option at shortstop until Crawford is ready to return from the IL.

Mariners' Dylan Moore: Goes wild on basepaths Sunday
Rotowire
Moore went 1-for-2 with two walks, three stolen bases and a run in a win over the Giants on Sunday.
Moore put together a signature leadoff performance, serving as a consistent irritant for Giants pitchers throughout the afternoon while swiping a career-high three bases. Moore is an impressive 27-for-32 overall in steal attempts this season, and he's now reached safely in four straight games. Sunday marked only his fourth appearance atop the order this season, but given the results, he could conceivably get more run as the leadoff hitter the rest of the way under new manager Dan Wilson.

Mariners' Dylan Moore: Records steal as pinch runner
Rotowire
Moore entered Friday's extra-inning victory over the Giants as a pinch runner in the bottom of the 10th inning, recording a stolen base and the game-winning run.
Moore opened the 10th as the phantom runner and swiped third base, putting him in prime position to subsequently score the game-winning run on Leo Rivas' single. Moore has been mostly quiet at the plate of late -- he came into Friday mired in a 2-for-20 skid over his previous nine games -- but he's now up to a career-high 24 stolen bases on the season and has belted over half of his 62 hits for extra bases.

Mariners' Dylan Moore: New career high in steals
Rotowire
Moore went 0-for-3 with a hit-by-pitch and a stolen base in a loss to the Tigers on Thursday.
Moore took advantage of his lone time on the basepaths to record his 22nd steal of the campaign, a new career high. The versatile veteran finished July on a six-game hitting streak, but his bat has gone cold in August to the tune of a .118/.268/.147 slash line and 34.1 percent strikeout rate across 41 plate appearances (11 games).
