Ty France's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Seattle Mariners first baseman Ty France (heel) was not in Saturday's lineup due to a heel issue he suffered on a hit-by pitch on Friday. Seattle manager Scott Servais expressed his concern about the injury in a postgame interview on Saturday. France has posted a solid .251/.329/.403 line with seven long balls this season. The Mariners also promoted top first base prospect Tyler Locklear later on Saturday evening, which is a strong indication that France may miss an extended period of time. Locklear is worth adding in deeper leagues especially if you need a corner infield replacement. Fantasy managers should keep a close eye on the Seattle starting lineup on Sunday.

Seattle Mariners first baseman Ty France went 3-for-3 with a walk in Friday's 5-4 win over the Angels. France was a triple shy of the cycle, having collected a single, a double, and his seventh home run of the season. The 29-year-old has now hit safely in seven of his last eight games, going 11-for-27 (.407) over that stretch, including two home runs and seven RBI. The right-handed hitter has a .260-7-24-18-0 line with a .327 wOBA and 117 wRC+ on the season. He'll see lefty Reid Detmers on Saturday who he has doubled and homered off of in the past (3-for-13, two BB).

Seattle Mariners first baseman Ty France went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer in Thursday's victory against the division rival Texas Rangers. The round tripper would be the first of the season for France, who is coming off a disappointing 2023 season. France has been hitting the ball well with a .266 batting average, but he has not done much to help fantasy managers with just six RBI. He has been hitting the ball very hard this year, so more power can come along, but for now he remains a better player for the Mariners than fantasy. He is worth keeping an eye on to see if contact will turn into power, but is more of a watch-list candidate in most formats at this time.
