Pollock went 1-for-4 with a two-run double in a win over the Cardinals on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
It was a rare taste of offensive success for Pollock early this season, as his clutch two-bagger snapped a 2-2 tie in the sixth inning. Pollock had been mired in an 0-for-13 slump over the previous five games prior to Friday's double, and he's still sitting on an anemic .129/.200/.355 slash line through his first 35 plate appearances.

Pollock is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Brewers, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
After going 0-for-3 with two strikeouts in Sunday's 1-0 win over the Rockies, Pollock will take a seat for the fourth time in six games. The Mariners have an everyday spot in the lineup up for grabs, but with a .125/.214/.375 slash line through 28 plate appearances on the season, Pollock hasn't made a compelling case to claim a regular role.

Pollock is hitting seventh and playing left field Sunday against the Rockies.
EDGE Analysis
Pollock has not seen much playing time against right-handed pitching to open 2023, but he'll get a start against Noah Davis and the Colorado staff for the series finale Sunday. Tommy La Stella retreats to the bench with Jarred Kelenic in right and Teoscar Hernandez serving as the designated hitter.

Pollock is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Rockies.
EDGE Analysis
He has played almost exclusively against left-handers this year, so with Ryan Feltner on the mound for Colorado, Pollock will begin Saturday's contest on the bench. Tommy La Stella will be the designated hitter and bat seventh while the red-hot Jarred Kelenic hits sixth as the left fielder.

Pollock is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cubs.
EDGE Analysis
Aside from a two-home run, five-RBI performance against the Angels on April 4, Pollock is 1-for-11 in the other five games he's appeared in this season. Pollock's slow start looks as though it may be starting to cost him playing time, as he'll be on the bench for a second straight game while Cooper Hummel replaces him as Seattle's designated hitter.

Pollock went 2-for-4 with two home runs and five RBI in Tuesday's 11-2 win over the Angels.
EDGE Analysis
Heading into Tuesday, Pollock and Teoscar Hernandez had combined to go 1-for-23 at the dish through the first five games of the season, but the two offseason pickups ended up doing the heavy lifting for the Seattle offense in the resounding win. Both players finished the night with two home runs, with Pollock's pair of blasts coming in consecutive plate appearances off reliever Jaime Barria in the fifth and seventh innings. Pollock is expected to remain a fixture in the lineup versus left-handed pitching moving forward, and he could end up seeing more opportunities against righties as well if Tommy La Stella is unable to generate much offense out of the designated hitter spot.
