Falls into platoon role
Ward is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics.
Analisi
Following the recent promotion of Lazaro Montes (hip) to the big leagues, Ward appears to have faded into a short-side platoon role. Each of Ward's last four starts have come against left-handed pitching, and the Mariners have kept him on the bench for three consecutive matchups with righties. Since being acquired from the Orioles on Aug. 3, Ward has slashed just .105/.200/.132 with one extra-base hit (a triple) and a 28.2 percent strikeout rate.

Exiting starting nine
Ward is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game in Boston.
Analisi
Ward has been dreadful since being acquired by the Mariners at the trade deadline, slashing .121/.227/.152 across 19 contests. As a result, he might find himself on the short side of a platoon moving forward. Lazaro Montes has been called up and is slotted in at designated hitter for Seattle on Tuesday.
