The Red Sox, knowing how left-handed heavy the Mariners are, will be starting a trio of lefties, causing the Mariners to make a roster move to get more right-handed (read more in the \u201croster move\u201d section). Meanwhile, the Mariners will be utilizing the piggyback again, starting Bryce Miller. John wrote about the benefits of returning to the piggyback; read more <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lookoutlanding.com\/seattle-mariners-roster\/144952\/mariners-to-return-to-piggyback-starting-rotation-plan\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">here<\/a> if you missed it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">This is the first time the Mariners will face the Red Sox this season.

Isiash Kiner-Falefa is scratched with forearm soreness; Durbin moves up, and Marcelo Mayer &#8211; who missed yesterday with an illness but is apparently now well enough to play &#8211; enters the lineup.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">If you\u2019re wondering who Wilson is in the lineup, it\u2019s not Will Wilson magically returned from the 60-day IL; it\u2019s newly-signed Weston Wilson. He\u2019s basically a right-handed Miles Mastrobuoni, who was DFA\u2019d today.
