Player Outlook
Ty France looked like a potential fantasy stalwart in the first half of 2022 following solid seasons in 2020-2021, but the right-handed hitting infielder posted just a .646 OPS in the second half of that campaign, and his .250/.337/.368 slash was more of the same.His on-base percentage was buoyed heavily by being hit 34 times, and that's the second time over the last three seasons he's ended up the leading baseball in plunkings. His power numbers dropped considerably with just 12 homers in his 665 plate appearances, and a barrel percentage under seven percent (6.8) suggests that wasn't a case of bad luck. He does seem likely to rebound in the average category, as he struck out in just 17.6 percent of his plate appearances last year, and while he hasn't been among the league leaders in hard contact, the ability to use the whole field while putting the ball in play on a consistent basis should see him closer to the .279 mark he had prior to 2023. Because of the lack of power and a complete lack of speed France is a flawed fantasy player, but a bounceback to the stats he put up from 2020 to 2022 could make him a strong fantasy value in the later rounds.

  • Mariners' Ty France: On base thrice in return

    Rotowire
    France (heel), activated from the injured list earlier in the day, started at first base in Tuesday's win over the Guardians and went 0-for-2 with three walks and a run. While there was no big hit to commemorate the veteran's return from a minimum-length stay on the IL, France was a thorn in the side of Guardians pitching all night with his constant trips on the basepaths. Now apparently back to full health, France heads into the home stretch of June carrying an outstanding .295/.456/.523 slash line with six extra-base hits and 10 RBI in his last 15 games (57 plate appearances).

  • Mariners' Ty France: Back from injured list

    Rotowire
    The Mariners activated France (heel) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday. France missed the minimum 10 days with a right heel fracture and will skip a rehab assignment, going right back onto the Mariners' 26-man active roster. Tyler Locklear has been filling in at first base for France and remains on the roster, but France should go back to seeing the bulk of the starts at first base for Seattle.

  • Mariners' Ty France: Likely return when first eligible

    Rotowire
    France (heel) has a good chance of returning from the injured list when first eligible Tuesday, or very shortly thereafter, Shannon Drayer of SeattleSports.com reports. The positive news was delivered by general manager Justin Hollander before Wednesday's game against the White Sox, and it represents a more optimistic outlook than when France first went on the injured list Sunday with what was diagnosed as a hairline fracture of the heel. France had posted a .308 average and 1.013 OPS over the last 12 games he played before the injury, so the hope for fantasy managers is a brief IL stay will up the chances of him carrying over that momentum.

  • Mariners' Ty France: Has hairline fracture in right heel

    Rotowire
    France, who was placed on the 10-day injured list Sunday, has a slight hairline fracture in his right heel, Shannon Drayer of Seattle Sports 710 AM reports. France was seen in a walking boot Saturday after sustaining the injury on a hit-by-pitch Friday against Kansas City. While there is no exact timeline on his recovery, the 29-year-old first baseman will likely be on the injured list beyond the 10-day minimum. Before the heel fracture, France was slashing .251/.329/.403 with seven home runs and 27 RBI over 237 plate appearances. The Mariners selected Tyler Locklear from Triple-A Tacoma in a corresponding move, and he will start at first base and bat seventh in Sunday's series finale against Royals southpaw Cole Ragans.

  • Mariners' Ty France: Potentially significant injury

    Rotowire
    Manager Scott Servais said postgame that he was "concerned" about the heel injury that held France out of Saturday's 8-4 loss to the Royals, Shannon Drayer of Seattle Sports 710 AM reports. France was scratched from Saturday's lineup with what was initially deemed a foot injury. However, Servais shared that France is actually dealing with a heel injury that stems from the first baseman being hit by a pitch Friday. France will continue to be evaluated and a status update is expected to be delivered sometime Sunday.

  • Mariners' Ty France: Scratched from lineup

    Rotowire
    France was scratched from the Mariners' lineup ahead of Saturday's game versus Kansas City due to an apparent foot injury, Shannon Drayer of Seattle Sports 710 AM reports. The Mariners haven't offered any information regarding how serious France's injury is, but the team should offer an update once it takes a closer look at him. Luke Raley will move to first base to replace France, shifting Dylan Moore to left field while Ryan Bliss covers second base.

  • Mariners' Ty France: Laces timely double Tuesday

    Rotowire
    France went 1-for-3 with a two-run double, a walk and a run in a win over the Athletics on Tuesday. The veteran infielder squared up for a third-inning two-bagger that brought home J.P. Crawford and Josh Rojas with the first two runs of the night, France's eighth and ninth RBI over the last nine games. France has shown a bit more pop in his bat than usual during that span, posting four extra-base hits overall (two doubles, two home runs) on his way to a .333 average and 1.044 OPS across 36 plate appearances. The sample has also featured a welcome increase and drop in walk and strikeout rates, respectively, as he's drawn free passes at a 13.9 percent clip and struck out in a modest 16.7 percent of his plate appearances.

  • Mariners' Ty France: Perfect at plate Friday

    Rotowire
    France went 3-for-3 with a solo home run, a two-run double and a walk in Friday's 5-4 win over the Angels. France ended up a triple shy of the cycle, but he hasn't legged out a three-bagger since 2022. The infielder went 14-for-39 (.359) with three homers and nine RBI over his last 12 games in May, making him one of the Mariners' hotter hitters. For the year, France has a .260/.325/.411 slash line, seven homers, 24 RBI, 18 runs scored and eight doubles over 55 contests while seeing a starting role at first base.

  • Mariners' Ty France: Pair of hits, homer

    Rotowire
    France went 2-for-4 with a solo home run during Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Yankees. The first baseman clubbed his fifth homer of the campaign, taking Dennis Santana yard in the seventh frame. Across his last eight games, France is batting .276 with three home runs and hasn't struck out multiple times in a contest during that stretch.

  • Mariners' Ty France: Belts third homer

    Rotowire
    France went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run against the Royals in a 6-2 win Monday. France provided a pair of insurance runs with his two-run, eighth-inning blast that doubled Seattle's lead from two to four. The long ball was his first since April 27, and during the 13-game homerless stretch he had batted just .191 with a 2:15 BB:K. France's offensive numbers are down across the board this season, with a significant contributing factor being a 24.3 percent strikeout rate that is on pace for his worst mark since his 2019 rookie campaign.

  • Mariners' Ty France: Plates pair in win

    Rotowire
    France went 2-for-4 with a two-run double and a run in a win over the Athletics on Friday. Dylan Moore stole the show for the Mariners with a five-RBI night, but France got in on the fun early with a timely two-bagger in the fourth that extended Seattle's lead to 3-0 at the time. The veteran's multi-hit effort was already France's third of May, and he's opened the month with a solid .267 average and .333 on-base percentage across eight contests. However, France's strikeout rate in that span is also a bloated 33.3 percent, pushing his season figure to a career high of 24.8 percent over 137 plate appearances.

  • Mariners' Ty France: Not in Thursday's lineup

    Rotowire
    France is out of the lineup for Thursday's contest in Minnesota. France is just 1-for-11 with seven strikeouts over his last three games, so he'll get a day off to regroup. Luke Raley will make just his third start of the season at first base while France sits.

  • Mariners' Ty France: Multi-hit effort in Saturday's win

    Rotowire
    France went 2-for-4 with two runs in a win over the Astros on Saturday. The veteran played the table-setting role in the victory, scoring the first and final runs of the game on a Cal Raleigh double play groundout and home run, respectively. France has a pair of two-hit efforts in the last three games, but zooming further out, he's sitting on a lackluster .213/.260/.362 slash line over the 50 plate appearances covering his last 13 contests.

  • Mariners' Ty France: Knocks second homer Saturday

    Rotowire
    France went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in a win over the Diamondbacks on Saturday. France gave the Mariners some valuable breathing room in the seventh, extending a one-run lead via a 410-foot shot to left center with Jorge Polanco aboard. It was the second homer in three games for France, who previously hadn't left the yard over his first 21 games of the campaign.

  • Mariners' Ty France: Clubs first homer of 2024

    Rotowire
    France went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run during Thursday's 4-3 win over the Rangers. Although France boasts a quality .266 batting average through 22 games, he's been a non-factor in the power department, waiting until his 84th plate appearance to notch his first home run of the campaign. The long ball came in the first inning off Andrew Heaney and plated Julio Rodriguez. France's ISO has dropped from .116 last season to .088 while his strikeout rate sits at 21.8 percent after posting a K-rate lower than 18 percent in three straight seasons.

  • Mariners' Ty France: Keeps getting on base Saturday

    Rotowire
    France went 2-for-5 with a run in a win over the Rockies on Saturday, marking his sixth and seventh times on base within his last 10 plate appearances. The hot stretch encompasses the last three games for France and began with a pinch-hit appearance in which he drew a walk against the Reds on Tuesday. The veteran infielder is sitting on an impressive .288 average and .348 on-base percentage, while his slugging percentage checks in at a much more modest .339 since he only has a trio of extra-base hits (all doubles) over 66 plate appearances. However, France is demonstrating improved discipline at the plate -- his 9.1 percent walk rate is a career high, while his 27.7 percent chase rate is significantly lower than the 37.8 percent figure he finished 2023 with.

  • Mariners' Ty France: Day off Tuesday

    Rotowire
    France isn't in the Mariners' lineup for Tuesday's game against the Reds. France will get a day to regroup Tuesday after going 4-for-20 with three RBI and six strikeouts across his last five games. Luke Raley will take his place at first base and bat seventh.

  • Mariners' Ty France: Rejoining team Monday

    Rotowire
    Mariners manager Scott Servais confirmed that France (personal) is in line to rejoin the team in Toronto on Monday for the start of a three-game series with the Blue Jays, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports. Expect Seattle to officially reinstate France from the paternity list Monday after he was away from the club for the entirety of the three-game series in Milwaukee this weekend while welcoming a new child into his family. Dylan Moore made two starts at first base, and Luke Raley made the other in France's stead.

  • Mariners' Ty France: Bat coming around in spring

    Rotowire
    France, who went 2-for-3 with an RBI single in a Cactus League win over the Giants on Sunday, is now hitting .278 over eight Cactus League games. France worked extensively on adjusting his hitting mechanics this offseason, but after lacing a double in his first at-bat of spring, he went 1-for-7 over his subsequent trio of contests. However, France now has a pair of two-hit efforts in his last three exhibitions and has reached safely in three straight, and he's driven all three of his spring runs in over the past five games.

  • Mariners' Ty France: Makes changes to swing in offseason

    Rotowire
    France, who posted his least productive batting line since his rookie 2019 season in 2023, made changes to his swing this offseason for the first time in his career, Shannon Drayer of 710 ESPN Seattle reports. France's struggles actually began during the latter portion of the 2022 campaign, and given the extended period of below-average performance, the veteran decided to seek out the counsel of Driveline Baseball this offseason. The 29-year-old says the company's biometric data was able to identify where his swing had gone wrong, including pinpointing that he was overusing his hands and that his sequencing from the ground up was very inefficient. France says he's added close to 3.5 mph of bat speed this offseason with the corrections he's been able to make, and manager Scott Servais has been encouraged by what he's seen from France thus far. "I think he looks great," Servais said. "I know it's going to pay off for him when it's going to click, but I know it's going quick. He can hit, he's got track record of it. Being in the best shape he's been in his life, that's part of it, too."
