Healy went 1-for-3 with a two-run double and two walks in a win over the White Sox on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Healy has been a key part of the Mariners' surprising offensive machine in the early going, offering consistent production out of the latter portion of the order. The 27-year-old has hit safely in eight of the first 10 games and has already racked up 10 extra-base hits (seven doubles, three home runs) and 11 RBI over his first 43 plate appearances.

Healy went 1-for-3 with a home run and three RBI on Friday against the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Healy drove home a run in the fourth on a sacrifice fly and launched a two-run homer in the sixth to tie the ballgame, 6-6. He's experienced a surge in power to begin the 2019 campaign and sits with six doubles, three home runs and nine RBI through nine games.

Healy, who went 2-for-4 with a double and a run in a win over the Red Sox on Sunday, has derived considerable benefit from recent tweaks in his swing, Mike Vorel of The Seattle Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Healy is hitting .375 through the first six games, and he tied a franchise record for second-longest streak of extra-base hits (seven) to begin a season before rapping out a single in his second at-bat Sunday. However, he laced a double in his following plate appearance to make it seven consecutive games with at least one extra-base knock to start the campaign. Manager Scott Servais credits adjustments Healy has made to his plate approach with the season-opening breakout. "Ryon's really changed his approach," Servais said following the victory Sunday. "He's made a couple adjustments with his swing mechanically, really cut down his leg kick, which has made things simpler for him. Using the whole field to hit has been a big thing. He slapped a base hit to right field today with two strikes, not trying to pull the ball."

Healy went 2-for-4 with an RBI double and a run in a win over the Red Sox on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Healy came into the game with a 1-for-15 career tally against Red Sox starter Eduardo Rodriguez, but he broke out of that funk with his pair of two-baggers. The 27-year-old has opened the season on a tear, hitting safely in the first five games of the campaign and already compiling seven extra-base hits (five doubles, two home runs).

Healy went 1-for-4 with a walk, a home run and two runs scored in Thursday's win over the Red Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Healy knocked three extra-base hits in Japan (including his first homer of the 2019 season), and followed up with another strong performance in the Mariners' home opener. He's struck out only twice in 13 at-bats and appears to primed to play regularly in Kyle Seager's absence, despite his defensive deficiencies.

Healy went 2-for-5 with a double, a two-run home run and two runs overall in an extra-innings win over the Athletics in Tokyo, Japan on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Healy opened the scoring on the evening against his former squad with a 386-foot shot to left in the second that plated Tim Beckham. The slugging infielder's season is off to an encouraging start, as he's already a garnered a trio of extra-base hits (two doubles, one homer) over his first nine at-bats. The 27-year-old is slated for an extended everyday role at third base while Kyle Seager (hand) remains on the injured list, and he has the bat to serve as one of the Mariners' top long-ball threats in that capacity.

Healy went 1-for-4 with an RBI double and a run in a 9-7 win over the Athletics in Tokyo, Japan on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Healy extended the Mariners' lead to 7-4 with his fifth-inning two-bagger, which drove home Edwin Encarnacion. The versatile slugger opened the game at third base as expected, although he switched over to first as part of a double switch by manager Scott Servais to open the seventh inning. Healy is primarily expected to man the hot corner during Kyle Seager's expected multi-month absence due to a hand injury, but as he demonstrated in Wednesday's opener, he's capable of moving across the infield when necessary.

Manager Scott Servais confirmed Monday that Healy will serve as the Mariners' primary third baseman for at least the first month of the season, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Healy had been competing with Jay Bruce and Daniel Vogelbach for one lineup spot at either first base or designated hitter, but Kyle Seager's (hand) absence for at least six weeks paves the way for Healy to shift across the diamond temporarily. Though he began his big-league career as a third baseman with Oakland, Healy's poor defense ultimately prompted a move to first. The Mariners can probably live with Healy's limitations in field due to the substantial upgrade he provides at the plate over either Kris Negron or Dylan Moore, who are battling for the utility infield job.

Healy is seeing time at third base in the wake of Kyle Seager's wrist injury, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports. "He was going to get a look there anyway," manager Scott Servais said. "Obviously, this creates some more playing time for him -- and certainly Ryon has played quite a few games at third base in the big leagues. I know he hasn't done it in a while, but it's not like you're putting somebody over there [who has] never been over there."

EDGE Analysis

Seager hurt his wrist Friday while diving for a ball in a loss to the Cubs, and Johns reports the veteran third baseman is likely headed to the injured list as early as Monday. One man's misfortune could be another's gain, however, as Healy, who was increasingly getting squeezed out of both the first base and designated hitter jobs by Edwin Encarnacion and Daniel Vogelbach, respectively, is getting an audition at the hot corner in anticipation of an extended Seager absence. The 27-year-old started at third base in both Saturday's and Sunday's games without many chances, but he does bring experience at the position after having logged 103 games there for the Athletics over the 2016 and 2017 seasons. Other candidates include Kris Negron and Dylan Moore, but given the 24 home runs and 73 RBI that Healy contributed in 2018, there's plenty of incentive to keep his bat in the lineup.

Healy (hamstring) returned to game action over the weekend after missing games last Wednesday and Thursday, going a combined 2-for-4 with an RBI infield single and a run against the Royals and Diamondbacks.

EDGE Analysis

All of Healy's offensive production in that sample came in Sunday's 7-3 Cactus League win over Arizona, and it pushed his spring average to an even .200. Healy saw dips of varying degree in all three components of his slash line in 2018, but he finished with a solid 24 home runs and 73 RBI over 524 plate appearances. The slugger's strikeout rate actually dipped from 2017's 23.5 percent to 21.6 percent, however, so a .257 BABIP appears to have been a significant culprit in his struggles. Healy could thus be a strong bounce-back candidate during the coming campaign, and his biggest opportunity for consistent playing time should come at first base in a possible platoon with the left-handed Jay Bruce.
