Getting Sunday off Williamson is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians.

Impact Miles Mastrobuoni will cover third base in the series finale while Williamson sits after starting each of the Mariners' last eight games. Williamson is batting a credible .256 over 50 games since earning a call-up from Triple-A Tacoma on April 13, but he isn't providing much in the way of fantasy juice. He's logged just one home run and two stolen bases, and both his run (25) and RBI (13) totals have been weighted down due to the fact that he typically bats eighth or ninth in the order.

Managing back spasms Williamson was scratched from the lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins due to back spasms, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

Impact The 24-year-old woke up with back spasms after going 2-for-5 with four RBI and a run during Saturday's contest, so he didn't start at third base as initially expected. Williamson will have Monday's team off day to aid in his recovery before potentially missing more time.

Scratched Sunday Williamson was removed from Sunday's lineup against the Marlins for unspecified reasons, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

Impact The 24-year-old is presumably dealing with injury after initially being penciled in to start at third base, but no reason has been provided for his absence yet. Williamson has gone 8-for-19 with a double, five RBI and five runs during a five-game hit streak.

Drives in four runs Williamson went 2-for-5 with four RBI and a run scored during Saturday's 14-0 win against the Mariners.

Impact The 24-year-old has been operating as Seattle's primary third baseman with Jorge Polanco being limited to designated hitter, and Williamson delivered the first multi-RBI performance of his MLB career in Saturday's blowout. He has a .785 OPS for the season and has gone 8-for-19 during a modest five-game hit streak.
