Romine is in Saturday's starting lineup, playing second base and batting eighth.

EDGE Analysis

Romine is filling in for the injured Dee Gordon, who sustained an ankle injury Thursday. It's a rare start for Romine, who has just 11 at-bats since the All-Star break.

Romine went 3-for-4 with two runs in a loss to the Red Sox on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Romine made plenty of noise out of the bottom of the order, posting his second multi-hit effort of the season. Romine has drawn the start at shortstop the last two games with Jean Segura battling an arm infection, but his playing time is usually sparse to say the least.

Romine went 3-for-5 with a run in a win over the Blue Jays on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Romine drew his second start of May and parlayed it into his first multi-hit effort of the season. The veteran utility man's playing time has been exceedingly sporadic, as has his success with the bat. Even factoring in Thursday's strong performance and his scant 25 plate appearances on the season, his line remains an unsightly .174/.208/.217.

Romine has made the Mariners' Opening Day roster, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

As expected, Romine will break camp with the Mariners in a super-utility role. Manager Scott Servais plans to use Romine liberally in order to keep his starters fresh, so the 32-year-old should see his fair share of action. Over 124 games with the Tigers in 2017, Romine hit a lackluster .233/.289/.336 across 348 plate appearances.

Romine is slated to be on the Mariners' Opening Day roster, although he's yet to be officially informed, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The jack-of-all-trades' versatility is apparently too good to pass up for manager Scott Servais, who plans to deploy Romine liberally in order to keep his starters fresh. The 33-year-old hit an uninspiring .225 with one home run and seven RBI over 45 spring plate appearances, but his considerable major-league experience and defensive versatility appear to have won him a spot to open the season.

Romine (shoulder) is in the lineup at shortstop against Milwaukee on Wednesday, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Romine has been sidelined for the past week with a partially dislocated left shoulder. The club was hopeful that he would only need a little time to recover from the injury, and it appears as though that was a sound line of thinking. There shouldn't be any concern over Romine's availability moving forward barring any sort of setback.

The Mariners are hopeful that Romine (shoulder) will be available for Wednesday's Cactus League game against the Brewers, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Romine has been held out of exhibition play since March 13 while contending with the partially dislocated left shoulder. The Mariners don't appear too concerned about the injury and are hopeful that a week of rest will take care of the issue. Romine is competing with Taylor Motter this spring for the Mariners' top utility gig.

Romine doesn't expect to miss much time after incurring a shoulder subluxation in Tuesday's spring game, Shannon Drayer of 710 ESPN Seattle reports.

EDGE Analysis

The super utility man reportedly has dealt with this issue before, and the team isn't overly concerned. The plan is for Romine to simply rest for now and get evaluated again at a later date. A firmer timetable for his return should emerge once he's re-examined.

Romine left Tuesday's game against the Rockies after injuring his shoulder while trying to make a tag at third base, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Romine took an awkward fall while attempting to make a play at third base and appeared to hurt his shoulder in the process. At this point in time, specific details regarding Romine's injury and eventual return are unavailable, although more should be known in the near future.

Romine went 0-for-3 with an RBI groundout in Monday's 4-2 Cactus League loss to the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran has been solid this spring, hitting .267 (8-for-30) with a double, a home run, six RBI, two walks, two stolen bases and two runs. Romine's experience and versatility give him a leg up on securing an Opening Day roster spot, considering he's capable of backing up virtually any position. His offensive contributions have never been much to write home about, but he even showed some unexpected pop in that regard last season in Detroit -- Romine parlayed a career-high 348 plate appearances into a new high-water mark of 23 extra-base hits, a figure partly comprised of personal bests in doubles (17) and homers (four).
