Remains on bench Long sits for the third straight game Friday against the Rangers.

Impact Long handled a heavy workload early this season, but it's hard to say he deserved one, as he's hitting just .170/.238/.295. Dylan Moore, who returned from a wrist injury Friday, starts at second base.

Remains on bench Long will sit for the second straight game Monday against the Angels.

Riding pine Sunday Long is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels.

Slugs third homer Long went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a loss to the Angels on Saturday.

Impact Long's round tripper was meaningless with the game context -- it came with the Mariners down 16-2 in the ninth inning -- yet it certainly meant plenty to both the second baseman and his fantasy managers. Long still carries an utterly forgettable .173/.242/.300 line for the season, but he's at least left the yard in two of the last three games and has hit safely in four of his last six contests overall.

Belts second homer Long went 1-for-4 with a solo home run during a win over the Padres in the second game of a doubleheader Thursday.

Impact Long's second homer of the season, a 412-foot shot to left field, capped off a six-run outburst for the Mariners in the first inning of the nightcap. Long has now hit safely in three of his past four games, a modest but nevertheless welcome stretch of success that was immediately preceded by an abysmal 1-for-22 tally over the previous seven contests.

Impact Long picked up his sixth RBI and swiped his fourth bag. The second baseman holds a subpar .173 batting average on the campaign, but is still expected to see the lion's share of time at the keystone going forward.

Gets breather Long is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros.

Impact Long started the past five games at second base, going 3-for-17 with three walks to drop his season average below the Mendoza Line. Though Long has disappointed thus far, he doesn't appear to be in danger of losing out on an everyday role, which may speak to the Mariners' lack of appealing alternatives more than anything else. Dee Gordon, who is batting .139 through 39 plate appearances, will spell Long at the keystone Sunday.

Through 10 games, Long is hitting .250 with a homer, three steals, five runs scored and four RBI in 40 plate appearances.
