Cole Young has been dropped to sixth in the Mariners lineup Saturday against the Astros.

Brendan Donovan is leading off against a righty. Sixth is the lowest Young has hit in the order since July 24. Young went 0-for-6 on Friday after being held out of Thursday’s starting lineup due to an illness. He’s 5-for-36 with no extra-base hits and one RBI in his last 10 games.
