MLB: Seattle Mariners at Texas Rangers Jerome Miron-USA TODAY Sports

The start of a three-game series in Arlington, Texas.

Shi Davidi had some injury updates:

And I’m sure you’ve seen the news that Spencer Horwitz has been called up. And Cimber is back too. Hatch and Lukes are back in Buffalo.

We get a Kevin Gausman start, which generally means the team isn’t going to score much, but it also means our starter will go deep.

Martin Perez hasn’t been great. He has a 4.67 ERA this season. Batters are hitting .302/.354/.465 against him, so we should score.

Merrifield has been moved up to the second spot in the order. Jansen DHes.
