Latest news
Ward is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics.
Following the recent promotion of Lazaro Montes (hip) to the big leagues, Ward appears to have faded into a short-side platoon role. Each of Ward's last four starts have come against left-handed pitching, and the Mariners have kept him on the bench for three consecutive matchups with righties. Since being acquired from the Orioles on Aug. 3, Ward has slashed just .105/.200/.132 with one extra-base hit (a triple) and a 28.2 percent strikeout rate.

Ward is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game in Boston.
Ward has been dreadful since being acquired by the Mariners at the trade deadline, slashing .121/.227/.152 across 19 contests. As a result, he might find himself on the short side of a platoon moving forward. Lazaro Montes has been called up and is slotted in at designated hitter for Seattle on Tuesday.

Ward is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cubs.
Ward started the past four games after missing the previous five contests due to quadriceps soreness, and he'll check out of the starting nine Sunday to get some scheduled rest. Dominic Canzone is serving as the designated hitter while Victor Robles starts in right field.

Ward (quadriceps) will start at designated hitter and bat eighth in Wednesday's game against the Brewers.
A sore quad kept Ward out of the starting nine for each of the previous five games, though he made enough improvement for the Mariners to make him available off the bench Tuesday, per MLB.com. However, with the Mariners falling behind by six runs after five innings in what was ultimately a 22-0 loss, Ward wasn't called upon to pinch hit. He'll be able to return to the lineup Wednesday in a non-defensive role, and assuming his quad responds well, Ward should be ready to resume playing right field in short order.

Ward (quadriceps) remains out of the lineup for Tuesday's game in Milwaukee.
Ward has not played since last Wednesday as be battles nagging tightness in his quad. The Mariners have been listing him as day-to-day, but he's available off the bench for Tuesday's series opener and could be back in the lineup Wednesday, per Tim Booth of The Seattle Times. Victor Robles will cover right field in Ward's stead.

Ward (quadriceps) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's series finale against the Astros.
Ward will be on the bench for a fourth straight game while he continues to nurse a tight quad. Seattle is off Monday before beginning a three-game series on the road against the Brewers on Tuesday, so Ward will get another day of rest before potentially returning to action in Milwaukee.
