Jorge Polanco Getting Saturday Off
Jorge Polanco and third baseman Ben Williamson are resting for Saturday's divisional tilt on the road against the Texas Rangers at Globe Life Field. Cole Young will start at third base and hit ninth, while Miles Mastrobuoni is at the keystone and batting eighth against Rangers right-hander Kumar Rocker. Polanco has managed to stay healthy so far this year and is currently slashing a modest .248/.302/.434 with a .736 OPS, 11 home runs, 38 RBI, 26 runs scored and three stolen bases in 67 games played. The switch-hitting Dominican infielder has really struggled of late, though, going 5-for-35 (.143) with a double, three RBI, one steal, three runs and a 7:4 K:BB in 10 games since June 15. Those setting DFS lineups shouldn't be getting excited at all about using either Mastrobuoni or Young as deep sleepers near the bottom of Seattle's lineup.
