The Mariners hobble into Kansas City this weekend after two disappointing series losses against the Angels and A’s. Though the team still has a four-game cushion over Baltimore in the playoff race, the players have a whole lot of body parts that may need that cushioning. We will likely see more of Ty France at third base this weekend with Eugenio Suárez out, and all eyes are on Julio Rodríguez today, who will undergo an MRI after leaving yesterday’s game in the middle of the first inning with a recurrence of his back tightness that sidelined him last week.
Series Preview: Mariners (82-67) at Royals (61-89)
