Analysis:

The Mariners are swapping Elias and Taijuan Walker to avoid tossing two straight lefties against the righty-heavy San Diego lineup. With Seattle not having another off day between Monday and the All-Star break, Elias still lines up for two starts next week, facing the Tigers and Angels at Safeco Field.
