The Mariners are shaking things up a bit for Saturday’s 6:10 game on 710 ESPN Seattle against Texas, a day after they went 13 innings in a loss to the Rangers.
Jarrod Dyson will get the day off, moving Guillermo Heredia to center field and giving the Mariners a chance to work Taylor Motter back into the starting lineup in left field. Seattle will also give Tuffy Gosewisch his first start at catcher since being recalled from Triple-A Tacoma on Friday.

With the Rangers starting southpaw Martin Perez on the mound, the right-handed-hitting Heredia will hit second and right fielder Ben Gamel, a lefty, will hit eighth.
