Denard Span

Denard Span is not in the Mariners' starting lineup on Friday

Seattle Mariners outfielder Denard Span is not in the starting lineup against the Boston Red Sox on Friday.

What It Means:

The veteran started yesterday, but he'll get the day off against Rick Porcello tonight. He's hitting a solid .298 with Seattle, 60 points higher than his batting average with Tampa earlier this season.

We project Span to hit .272 with 9 home runs, 48 runs, and 34 RBI in his remaining plate appearances this season.
