Brendan Donovan was out of the Mariners' lineup for the second consecutive game against the Astros, but is expected to return for Sunday's game. Donovan, who has been most productive for the Mariners this season, was participating in drills with infield coach Perry Hill during the game. In Donovan's absence, Leo Rivas started at third base and J.P. Crawford moved to Donovan's position at leadoff. Despite the team's recent win, they are eager to see Donovan return.
