10 Cameron Maybin CF

Maybin went 3-for-5 with four RBI from a pair of run-scoring singles and a double in a win over the Rangers on Friday. He also scored once.

The veteran outfielder enjoyed a relatively rare taste of offensive success, posting a season high in RBI and contributing his first multi-hit effort since Sept. 3. Maybin hadn't suited up since Sept. 23, and he's only logged 22 at-bats overall in September. However, he's made good use of those opportunities, posting a .318 average thus far in the final month of the season.

Maybin, who last played Tuesday, is currently dealing with an illness, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports.

The veteran outfielder may not have been in the lineup over the last two days anyhow, as he's seen sporadic playing time of late. However, the illness is worth noting, especially since it's brought on the same flu-like symptoms that have also claimed starts from Jean Segura over the last three games. Maybin has hit well during his sparse September action, going 4-for-8 with a double, a triple and an RBI over four contests.

Maybin is out of the lineup Sunday against the Diamondbacks, Shannon Drayer of 710 ESPN Seattle reports.

Maybin is on the bench for the fifth time in six games and seems to have ceded his starting spot in the outfield to the recently recalled Ben Gamel. The demotion to a reserve role doesn't come as a major surprise after Maybin managed a .210/.258/.258 slash line in 18 games since coming over in a deadline deal with the Marlins.

Maybin is not in the lineup Wednesday against the Athletics, Shannon Drayer of 710 ESPN Seattle reports.

The recent return of Robinson Cano from his suspension will cost several Mariners at-bats, as the team shifts its lineup around to accommodate him at a variety of spots. Maybin will be the one to lose out Wednesday, as Cano starts at his natural position of second base, pushing Dee Gordon out to center field.

Maybin went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a strikeout in Tuesday's loss to the Athletics.

Maybin went deep to lead off the fifth inning for his first extra-base hit in 12 games since joining Seattle. The 31-year-old has been starting on a near-everyday basis with his new club, and while he's helping out defensively, a .253/.333/.340 slash line on the season isn't of as much use for fantasy purposes.
