Rests after clinching playoffs France will sit Saturday against Oakland.

Impact The Mariners clinched their first playoff berth in 21 years Friday night, and their Saturday lineup reflects that, with several starters getting the day off. Carlos Santana and Abraham Toro will handle the infield corners.

Continues late-season surge in win France went 2-for-4 with two runs in a win over the Rangers on Wednesday.

Impact France joined Eugenio Suarez as the only other Mariner with multiple knocks in the low-scoring win. It was France's third multi-hit tally in the last four games alone, and he's now sporting a .304 average and .865 OPS over his last 14 games, a span during which he's also laced six extra-base hits (three doubles, one triple, two home runs), garnered 10 RBI and scored 11 runs.

Keeps up hot hitting Sunday France went 3-for-5 with a two-run single, a double and a run in a loss to the Royals on Sunday.

Impact France's bat caught fire over the weekend, as he'd also authored a three-hit effort Saturday that included another two-bagger. The 28-year-old owns a .345 average (10-for-29) with eight RBI over his last seven games, a stretch during which he's hit .375 with men on base.

Three-hit night in win France went 3-for-5 with an RBI single, a double, a walk and a run in a win over the Royals on Saturday.

Impact France collected the most hits of any Mariners player in the narrow win, lacing multiple knocks for the fourth time in the last nine games. The 28-year-old's production has had a feast-or-famine quality to it during that time -- he's gone hitless in the other five contests in the sample -- but France remains a key component of the top half of the Mariners lineup and has already established new career highs in home runs (20) and RBI (79) across 131 games.

Keeps up hot hitting Thursday France went 2-for-4 with an RBI sacrifice fly, a triple and a run in a win over the Athletics on Thursday.

Impact France's RBI ironically didn't stem from his leadoff triple in the sixth inning, his first of the season. However, he did come around to score on Jarred Kelenic's double later in that frame, and he was able to author his third multi-hit effort in the last seven games in the process. France also has seven RBI during that span, courtesy of a .333 average with men on base in the sample.

Drives in four runs France went 2-for-4 with a home run, a double, four RBI and two runs scored in Monday's 9-1 win over the Angels.

Impact France ripped an RBI double in the first inning and capped off his day with a three-run blast in the seventh. With that, the 28-year-old infielder has reached the 20-homer mark for the first time in his MLB career. He improved his slash line to .272/.336/.442 with 44 extra-base hits and 77 RBI through 126 games. However, France is hitting just .203 (13-for-64) since the start of September.

Clubs 19th homer France went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run in Friday's 8-7 loss to the Angels.

Impact France helped halve the Mariners' deficit with his seventh-inning blast. He had gone 7-for-43 (.163) with five extra-base hits over 11 games since his last multi-hit effort. The 28-year-old infielder is up to a .277/.341/.443 slash line with 19 homers, 73 RBI, 55 runs scored and 23 doubles through 123 contests. He should be able to handle an everyday role as long as a nagging wrist injury that's cost him some time over the last couple of months doesn't flare up again.

Singles in return to action France (wrist) went 1-for-4 in a loss to the Padres on Tuesday.

Impact The Mariners were able to do precious little against a dominant Yu Darvish, but France at least was able to get on safely after missing Sunday's series finale against Atlanta due to his troublesome left wrist. The talented infielder has hit safely in four of his last six games, and in 11 of his last 14 overall.

Busts out of slump Friday France went 2-for-4 with an RBI sacrifice fly and a run-scoring single in a win over the Athletics on Friday.

Impact France's average had plummeted from .312 to .287 entering Friday night's game thanks to a 16-game skid during which he'd hit just .156 (10-for-64), but his first multi-hit effort since July 25 helped him to a productive night. The 27-year-old's BABIP was just .176 during that slump, however, so he could certainly be due for a turnaround in coming games.

Gets Wednesday off France is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Angels.

Impact France will sit for the day game after he had started in each of the Mariners' last 12 contests following a four-game absence due to a wrist injury. Carlos Santana will step in at first base for France, who went 1-for-4 with a walk and a pair of RBI in Tuesday's 8-2 win.

Belts 14th homer Saturday France went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk during a win over the Angels in the first game of a doubleheader Saturday.

Impact France's 393-foot shot left in the third inning would prove to be the difference in the low-scoring game. The 28-year-old's homer was his fourth in the last 11 games, and he's now just five away from eclipsing the career-high 18 he slugged in 2021.

AUGUST 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Drives in two in return France (wrist) went 1-for-5 with a two-run single in an extra-inning loss to the Angels on Friday.

Impact Seeing his first game action since last Saturday, France came through with a clutch game-tying single in the ninth inning to send the game into extras. The 28-year-old was also hampered by an elbow injury in late June and early July, but he's still generated a solid .270 average and .789 OPS in the 18 games he's played since that absence.

AUGUST 6, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Back as expected Friday France (wrist) is starting at first base and hitting second Friday against the Angels.

Impact A wrist injury sidelined him for almost a week, but he was expected back for this weekend series. France hit .275/.338/.478 with three home runs in 17 games during July.

AUGUST 5, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Expected back Friday France (wrist), who isn't starting Wednesday against the Yankees, is expected return to the lineup Friday against the Angels, Shannon Drayer of 710 ESPN Seattle reports.

Impact France is out of the lineup for a fourth consecutive game Wednesday but played catch on the field prior to the matchup. He'll have an additional day to rest since the Mariners don't play Thursday, but he should be back in action Friday.

AUGUST 3, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Remains out of lineup France (wrist) isn't starting Wednesday against the Yankees.

Impact France will be held out of the lineup for a fourth consecutive matchup as he continues to deal with a wrist injury. Kyle Lewis is serving as the designated hitter and batting sixth.

Out again Tuesday France (wrist) remains on the bench Tuesday in New York.

Impact It's unclear how much longer the wrist injury will keep France out of action. Once healthy, the 27-year-old and his .857 OPS will be an everyday staple in Seattle's lineup but until then, Carlos Santana will play first base while Kyle Lewis and others fill in at designated hitter.
