10 Cameron Maybin LF

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.

Maybin is out of the lineup Sunday against the Blue Jays.

Maybin will head to the bench for the first time as a member of the Mariners after he started in each of the club's four games since being acquired Tuesday. The 31-year-old, who has reached base at a .339 clip this season while collecting eight stolen bases, projects to serve as the Mariners' full-time center fielder throughout the second half.

Maybin went 1-for-2 with two walks and a run in a loss to the Astros on Wednesday.

The veteran outfielder made a good first impression in a Seattle uniform, serving as a constant presence on the bases in the loss. Although it was originally thought that Maybin and Guillermo Heredia would split time in center field, manager Scott Servais confirmed prior to Wednesday's game that the former will hold down an everyday role while Heredia platoons with Denard Span in left field.

Maybin was dealt to the Mariners from the Marlins in exchange for Bryson Brigman and international bonus pool money Tuesday, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.

Maybin will provide extra outfield depth in center field after slashing .251/.338/.343 across 99 games with the Marlins this year. Look for Maybin to split time with Guillermo Heredia upon his arrival, though he will be a slight offensive upgrade over Heredia so there's an opportunity for Maybin to earn regular time. This deal is also an indication that the Mariners want Dee Gordon to remain at second base for the rest of the season.
