Taylor Motter is batting ninth and playing at second for Seattle

Seattle Mariners utility man Taylor Motter is getting the start at second versus the New York Yankees on Friday.

What It Means:

Motter is filling in for Robinson Cano, who is day-to-day with a hamstring injury. He is batting ninth versus CC Sabathia.

With Motter batting ninth and the Mariners owning an implied run total of just 4.26, the utility man makes for a risky play on Friday, even at a cost of just $2,000.
