Delivers as in-game replacement Pollock entered Monday's win over the Red Sox as a pinch hitter in the eighth inning and remained in the game as the designated hitter, delivering a pair of RBI singles in his two...

Impact The veteran drove home the eighth and 10th runs of the game for the Mariners with his pair of timely knocks, which pushed his RBI total for the season to 13 on only 12 hits. Nevertheless, Pollock's .162/.220/.365 slash line across 82 plate appearances is easily the poorest of his long career and has kept his playing time somewhat sporadic.

Loses grip on regular role Pollock is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros.

Impact Pollock will take a seat for the fourth consecutive game and appears to have lost hold of his role as the Mariners' primary designated hitter. The Mariners have deployed a different player at that spot in each of those four contests, but Taylor Trammell appears to have emerged as the main beneficiary from a playing-time perspective while Pollock has been out of the lineup. Pollock's removal from the regular lineup comes while he's posted a poor .610 OPS and a career-worst 25 percent strikeout rate over his first 64 plate appearances of the season.

Launches fourth homer Pollock went 2-for-4 with a double, a solo home run, a walk and an additional run in an extra-inning win over the Athletics on Wednesday.

Impact The veteran left the yard for the second time in as many days when he launched a game-tying 410-foot solo shot to center in the ninth inning. Thanks to having knocked seven of his nine hits for extra bases thus far this season, Pollock boasts a .414 slugging percentage that stands in stark contrast to his .155 average across 63 plate appearances.

Takes seat Sunday Pollock is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Blue Jays.

Impact Even with Julio Rodriguez (back) out of the lineup, Pollock will take a seat against the Blue Jays on Sunday. Tommy La Stella will handle DH duties and hit seventh, and Taylor Trammell will make his season debut for Seattle in left field while hitting sixth.

Sitting Friday Pollock isn't starting Friday against the Blue Jays.

Delivers key double Friday Pollock went 1-for-4 with a two-run double in a win over the Cardinals on Friday.

Impact It was a rare taste of offensive success for Pollock early this season, as his clutch two-bagger snapped a 2-2 tie in the sixth inning. Pollock had been mired in an 0-for-13 slump over the previous five games prior to Friday's double, and he's still sitting on an anemic .129/.200/.355 slash line through his first 35 plate appearances.

Out for fourth time in six games Pollock is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Brewers, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

Impact After going 0-for-3 with two strikeouts in Sunday's 1-0 win over the Rockies, Pollock will take a seat for the fourth time in six games. The Mariners have an everyday spot in the lineup up for grabs, but with a .125/.214/.375 slash line through 28 plate appearances on the season, Pollock hasn't made a compelling case to claim a regular role.

APRIL 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to lineup Pollock is hitting seventh and playing left field Sunday against the Rockies.

Impact Pollock has not seen much playing time against right-handed pitching to open 2023, but he'll get a start against Noah Davis and the Colorado staff for the series finale Sunday. Tommy La Stella retreats to the bench with Jarred Kelenic in right and Teoscar Hernandez serving as the designated hitter.

APRIL 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Retreats to bench Pollock is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Rockies.

Impact Pollock has played almost exclusively against left-handers this year, so with Ryan Feltner on the mound for Colorado he'll begin Saturday's contest on the bench. Tommy La Stella will be the designated hitter and bat eighth while the red-hot Jarred Kelenic hits sixth as the left fielder.

APRIL 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

On bench for second straight Pollock is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cubs.

Impact Aside from a two-home run, five-RBI performance against the Angels on April 4, Pollock is 1-for-11 in the other five games he's appeared in this season. Pollock's slow start looks as though it may be starting to cost him playing time, as he'll be on the bench for a second straight game while Cooper Hummel replaces him as Seattle's designated hitter.

APRIL 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Sitting again Saturday Pollock is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Guardians.

Impact Pollock will sit for the second consecutive game after making four straight starts. Cal Raleigh will rest his legs as the designated hitter while Tom Murphy receives a start behind the plate.

Ohtani drives in a run, pitches Angels past Mariners 4-3

Shohei Ohtani held Seattle to one run in six innings and drove in a run at the plate, leading the Los Angeles Angels to a 4-3 victory over the Mariners

APRIL 5, 2023 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Drive in five in two-homer night Pollock went 2-for-4 with two home runs and five RBI in Tuesday's 11-2 win over the Angels.

Impact Heading into Tuesday, Pollock and Teoscar Hernandez had combined to go 1-for-23 at the dish through the first five games of the season, but the two offseason pickups ended up doing the heavy lifting for the Seattle offense in the resounding win. Both players finished the night with two home runs, with Pollock's pair of blasts coming in consecutive plate appearances off reliever Jaime Barria in the fifth and seventh innings. Pollock is expected to remain a fixture in the lineup versus left-handed pitching moving forward, and he could end up seeing more opportunities against righties as well if Tommy La Stella is unable to generate much offense out of the designated-hitter spot.
