Impact The fact France was able to get into the batter's box Tuesday -- he struck out in his pinch-hit appearance -- is certainly an encouraging sign. Given the Mariners had a day off Wednesday and France was already feeling better Tuesday morning, there certainly appears to be a chance he can rejoin the starting nine for the start of a four-game set at Fenway Park on Thursday.

Not in Tuesday's lineup France (forearm) is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Dodgers.

Impact France exited Monday's game after getting hit in the right forearm by a pitch. He went through infield drills prior to the game, Shannon Drayer of 710 ESPN Seattle reports, so it's unlikely he's in line for a long absence, but he'll find himself on the bench for at least one game. The Mariners get an off day Wednesday, so he'll get to rest for at least two days before potentially returning to the lineup Thursday in Boston.

Impact Not that there's any doubt about France's job security, but this news only serves to increase his utility to the Mariners and could allow manager Scott Servais more flexibility with how he utilizes primary backstops Tom Murphy and Luis Torrens.

In addition to DH and a possible occasional appearance at catcher, France is also slated to back up at every infield spot except shortstop.
