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.

Rotowire
Moore went 2-for-4 with a double, a solo home run and an additional run in a loss to the Orioles on Friday.

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: Five RBI in win
Rotowire
Moore went 3-for-4 with a home run and five RBI in Friday's 8-1 win over the Athletics.
Moore hit a two-run home run in the fifth inning, then added a two-run single in the fifth and an RBI single in the seventh. He had recorded just one multi-hit effort and a total of four RBI over his previous 12 contests. The 31-year-old lifted his slash line to .226/.333/.429 with three homers, 12 RBI, 11 runs scored and five stolen bases through 99 plate appearances. Moore continues to operate as the Mariners' top shortstop while J.P. Crawford (oblique) is on the mend.

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.
Mariners' Dylan Moore: Likely to fill in for Crawford
Rotowire
Moore will start at shortstop and bat sixth in Thursday's game against the Rangers.
He'll man shortstop for the second game in a row and is expected to serve as the main option at the position after J.P. Crawford (oblique) was placed on the 10-day injured list Thursday, according to Shannon Drayer of Seattle Sports 710 AM. Moore has a pair of 20-steal seasons on his resume and already has five stolen bases in just 53 plate appearances so far in 2024, so his speed could make him an appealing short-term option in deeper mixed leagues now that he's on track to get consistent playing time.

Mariners' Dylan Moore: Nabs two thefts in loss
Rotowire
Moore went 2-for-3 with a walk and two stolen bases in Wednesday's loss to the Rangers.
Seattle managed only one run in the contest, but that wasn't due to a lack of production on Moore's part. The utility man collected two of the team's eight hits and put himself in scoring position twice with a pair of steals. Moore is up to five thefts on the campaign, but he's still slashing a meager .214/.358/.357.
Moore went 1-for-3 with a stolen base in Sunday's loss to the Cubs.
Moore replaced Dominic Canzone in the second inning after the latter suffered an apparent shoulder injury that forced him out of the game. Moore led off with a base hit in the fifth and took second base for his third steal of the year but would be stranded there. There was a brief possibility that a path to additional playing time could open up for Moore with the injury to Canzone, but the Mariners are expected to promote outfielder Jonatan Clase from Triple-A Tacoma on Monday who will likely slide into that starting outfield role while Canzone is sidelined.

Mariners' Dylan Moore: Clubs homer off bench
Rotowire
Moore went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run in a 6-4 loss to Boston on Thursday.
Moore began the game on the bench but entered as a pinch hitter for Dominic Canzone in the seventh inning. The move paid off for Seattle, as Moore slammed a 409-foot, two-run shot to center to bring the Mariners to within a run. Moore slashed .378/.511/.595 with two long balls this spring, but he's had contact issues throughout his big-league career and isn't slated for an everyday role this year, so his fantasy outlook is limited.
