Back in bench role
Wisdom is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals.
Analysis
After making five consecutive starts and going 2-for-18 with two walks and a run, Wisdom has been relegated to the bench for the Mariners' subsequent four contests. Miles Mastrobuoni been the main option at third base since coming off the 60-day injured list Wednesday, but he'll shift into a utility role once J.P. Crawford (hand) makes his return from the 10-day IL on Tuesday. Wisdom could be designated for assignment in order to clear room on the roster for Crawford.

Drawing third straight start
Wisdom will start at third base and bat seventh in Monday's game against the Orioles.
Analysis
The Mariners will include Wisdom in the starting nine for third game in a row, with his uptick in playing time coinciding with J.P. Crawford being on the bench for all of those contests due to a bruised hand. Crawford is viewed as day-to-day, and assuming he's able to rejoin the lineup within the next few days, Wisdom will soon be headed back into a reserve role. The 34-year-old Wisdom hasn't been able to do much with his opportunities so far this season, slashing .143/.200/.286 with a 43.3 percent strikeout rate over 30 plate appearances in 10 games with Seattle.
