Mariners' Dylan Moore: Records ninth steal Tuesday
Rotowire
Moore went 1-for-4 with a stolen base and a run in a win over the Athletics on Tuesday.
Moore didn't log one of his trademark extra-base hits, but he still found a way to make an impact by working himself into scoring position after his fourth-inning single with the help of his ninth steal. The 31-year-old remains in a multi-game funk, however, as he's just 3-for-25 over the last seven contests, a span during which he's reached via a trio of singles, one walk and three hit-by-pitches.

Mariners' Dylan Moore: Hitting bench Sunday
Rotowire
Moore is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels.
Moore will take a seat in the series finale after he went 1-for-14 with eight strikeouts while starting each of the past four games at either second base or third base. While he remains in the mix for steady playing at the keystone with Jorge Polanco (hamstring) on the injured list, Moore looks to be slowing down at the plate after a hot run over the first three weeks of May. Dating back to May 23, Moore is slashing .103/.297/.138 over a stretch of nine games. If Moore's struggles continue, Ryan Bliss could end up unseating him as the preferred option at second base.
Moore isn't in the Mariners' lineup Tuesday against the Astros.
Moore has been extremely hot at the plate lately, slashing an incredible .324/.489/.735 with three homers and seven RBI across his last 11 games. He'll get a breather against Hunter Brown and the Astros while Luke Raley, Julio Rodriguez and Dominic Canzone start across the outfield with Mitch Haniger in as the DH.

Mariners' Dylan Moore: Swipes two bases Friday
Rotowire
Moore went 0-for-3 with a walk and two stolen bases in a loss to the Nationals on Friday.
It's been quite the productive week for Moore, who also homered twice Tuesday against the Yankees in what was his second consecutive multi-hit effort. The 31-year-old has now reached safely in nine consecutive games, a stretch during which he's accumulated seven extra-base hits (four doubles, three home runs), eight walks and six runs on his way to a .346 average and 1.360 OPS (35 plate appearances). The combination of his defensive versatility, pop and plate discipline has earned Moore a regular role between the infield and left field.
Moore went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run, a solo home run and an RBI single during Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Yankees.
Moore clubbed his fifth and sixth long balls of the campaign, tagging Clarke Schmidt for a two-run shot in the third and Nick Burdi for a solo shot in the ninth. All but one of Moore's homers have come in May, a month where he's batting .293 with 12 extra-base hits, 15 RBI and 12 runs scored.

Mariners' Dylan Moore: Swipes bag in Sunday's win
Rotowire
Moore went 1-for-3 with an RBI and a steal in Sunday's win over the Athletics.
Moore led things off with a base hit and stole second before eventually coming around to score on a Mitch Garver single to give the Mariners a quick lead. He later drove in a run on a sacrifice fly. It was just his third stolen base since April 24, though he's on pace for double-digit steals again after only managing seven in 67 games last season. Moore continues to see regular at-bats with J.P. Crawford (oblique) still working his way back and even works out of the leadoff spot against lefties like he did Sunday. For the year, the 31-year-old is slashing .222/.321/.411 with three homers, 13 RBI, 12 runs and an 11:28 BB:K in 106 plate appearances.

Mariners' Dylan Moore: Hitting bench Thursday
Rotowire
Moore is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Twins.
Moore has taken over as the Mariners' primary option at shortstop since J.P. Crawford (oblique) was placed on the 10-day injured list April 25, but he'll cede his spot in the field to Leonardo Rivas in the series finale in Minnesota. During Crawford's absence, Moore has batted just .184, though five of his seven hits over his last 13 games have gone for extra bases.

Mariners' Dylan Moore: Keeps up hard hitting Tuesday
Rotowire
Moore went 2-for-3 with an RBI double, a triple, a walk and two runs in a win over the Twins on Tuesday.
Moore's propensity for hard contact was on full display again Tuesday, with the veteran utility man belting his seventh and eighth extra-base hits of the season. Moore has already tied a career high with his pair of three-baggers, and with four doubles, he's just under halfway to his 2023 total of nine in that department. The 31-year-old came into Tuesday with a .143 average and 32.3 percent strikeout rate over the prior 10 games, making his first multi-hit effort since April 24 a particularly welcome sight.

Mariners' Dylan Moore: Lifts second homer Friday
Rotowire
Moore went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in a loss to the Astros on Friday.
The fifth-inning blast with Luke Raley aboard extended Moore's hitting streak to three games while also serving as Moore's first homer since Opening Day. The utility man also coaxed his average back over the Mendoza Line for the first time since April 25, but his .682 OPS still has plenty of room for improvement.
Mariners' Dylan Moore: Checks out of starting nine
Rotowire
Moore is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.
After starting each of the past four games at shortstop while producing three hits and adding two stolen bases and one run over 12 at-bats, Moore will give way to Leonardo Rivas in the series finale. Moore should still see the bulk of the starts at shortstop for the duration of J.P. Crawford's (oblique) stay on the injured list.
