Not starting Game 2 Long isn't starting Game 2 of Sunday's doubleheader against the White Sox.
Sunday exit not injury related Manager Scott Servais said that Long was removed from Game 1 of Sunday's doubleheader because he did not run hard at one point during the contest, Shannon Drayer of 710 ESPN Seattl...
Impact It's not completely clear what moment in the game Servais is referring to, but the manager found it necessary to replace Long at second base with Dylan Moore in the bottom of the sixth. Long is not injured, though it's to be seen if he'll face further consequences for his lack of hustle Sunday.

Blasts game-winning homer Long went 1-for-3 with a home run in Tuesday's win over the Rockies.
Impact Long wasn't doing much in this game, but he made his presence felt in the bottom of the eighth inning when he blasted a solo shot off reliever Tyler Kinley. It was Long's second long ball of the season, but his blast proved to be key for Seattle's win. The 25-year-old has been surging of late and has hit safely in seven of his last eight contests while homering in back-to-back contests.

Belts walk-off grand slam Long went 1-for-4 with a walk-off grand slam in Sunday's 6-2 extra-innings victory over the Rays.
Impact Long was hitless in his prior three at-bats before coming up to the plate in the 10th. Diego Castillo threw him three sliders and he connected on the third one, sending the ball over the wall in right to end the game. The 25-year-old is slashing .244/.279/.439 with one homer, 10 RBI and seven runs scored through his first 11 games. He's seeing pretty consistent playing time at either second base or left field and could be worth a look in AL-only and deeper mixed leagues.

Surging heading into Friday Long, who went 2-for-4 with two doubles, an RBI and a run in a win over the Rays on Thursday, is hitting .400 (6-for-15) over his last four games.
Impact Long also had his first triple of the season over that span, and his ability to churn out extra bases seems to support the notion his shin is healthy. The 25-year-old has pushed his average to .258 and OPS to .700 entering Friday's action after slashing .150/.190/.200 over his first five games following his delayed 2021 debut.

Drives in three runs Long went 2-for-4 with a triple, three RBI and two runs scored in Tuesday's 10-0 win over the Twins.
Impact Long probably had the biggest hit of the night when he drove a ball into the gap in right for a three-run triple to put the Mariners up 4-0 in the second. He would eventually come around to score in the inning and later also singled and scored in the fourth. Tuesday was the 25-year-old's first multi-hit game since being activated off the 60-day injured list earlier this month. He's currently slashing .208/.240/.333 with two extra-base hits, three RBI and five runs scored in 25 plate appearances.

Doubles in '21 debut Long (shin), activated from the injured list Monday, went 1-for-4 with a double and a run in a loss to the Tigers on Tuesday.
Impact The 25-year-old infielder made his long-awaited regular-season debut after an arduous recovery from last fall's shin surgery. Long looked good at the plate during his recent rehab stint at Triple-A Tacoma, and he apparently carried over some of that momentum into Tuesday's debut. Long should be set for everyday duty at second base for the time being, but he could split some time there with Dylan Moore (calf) when the latter is activated from the injured list.

Reinstated from 60-day IL Long (shin) was activated from the 60-day injured list Monday.
Impact The 25-year-old missed the first two months of the season after undergoing shin surgery in September 2020 and suffering multiple setbacks, but he's now poised to make his 2021 debut for the Mariners. Long appeared in seven games during his seven-game rehab stint at Triple-A Tacoma, and he posted a .323/.417/.516 slash line with a homer and 5:5 BB:K in 36 plate appearances. He struggled last season with a .533 OPS in 34 games, but he should see plenty of playing time at second base until Dylan Moore (calf) returns from the injured list.
