Taylor Motter will step in at first base as Danny Valencia will get a day off due to a sore wrist in the third game of the Mariners’ series with the Chicago White Sox at 7:10 on 710 ESPN Seattle.

Motter has been playing second base on a regular basis with Robinson Cano on the disabled list, but with Motter at first fellow utility man Mike Freeman will take over the keystone.
