Antonio Conte has insisted out-of-favour midfielder Oscar has a part to play in his Chelsea squad. Oscar has dropped down the pecking order at Stamford Bridge and has not featured in Contes starting line-up in the Premier League since the 2-1 home defeat to Liverpool in September.The Brazil international has made just two substitute appearances since Conte switched to his favoured 3-4-3 formation at the start of last month - a change which has seen the Blues win five league matches on the trot, including a 5-0 thrashing of Everton just before the international break. Watch highlights of Chelseas 5-0 win over Everton Inter Milan are said to be leading the chase for Oscar, who joined Chelsea from Internacional for £20m in 2012 and is under contract until 2019, but Conte has stressed the 25-year-old is going nowhere and has role to play with the Blues.Oscars future is Chelsea.

SEATTLE -- Kyle Seagers sharp liner was caught on a slide. Robinson Canos shot to the gap was grabbed on the warning track. Nelson Cruzs deep fly ball was tracked down at the wall.The Seattle Mariners opened the biggest home series of the season with a handful of near misses that now have them three games behind in the AL wild-card chase.We will get after it, hopefully get a few more hits and see what we can do there, Seattle manager Scott Servais said. We know whats ahead of us, and we arent going to back away from it.Marco Estrada took a no-hitter into the seventh inning, Edwin Encarnacion hit his 41st home run and the Toronto Blue Jays beat the Mariners 3-2 on Monday night in the opener of a critical three-game series.Estrada (9-9) had allowed only two walks before Cano led off the seventh with a line drive up the middle on a 2-1 pitch. Cano and Cruz walked in the fourth -- an inning that ended when Kevin Pillar made a sliding catch to rob Seager of a run-scoring hit -- but Estrada otherwise kept the Mariners off the bases.The Blue Jays pulled even with Baltimore for the first wild-card spot. Both teams are 2 1/2 games clear of Detroit and three ahead of Seattle and Houston.Estrada was pulled after walking Leonys Martin leading off the eighth inning, leaving to a standing ovation from the huge Blue Jays contingent that made its way down to Seattle from British Columbia. He struck out eight and walked three before being replaced by Jason Grilli.Thats when the Mariners attempted rally started.Pinch-hitter Ben Gamel walked to put two runners on with no outs, and Seth Smith walked on a nine-pitch at-bat with two outs to load the bases for Cano. Closer Roberto Osuna entered and got Cano to line out to the warning track in right field where Ezequiel Carrera was playing.I didnt think it had a chance because it was a line drive and I know they was playing no doubles, Cano said. I was hoping it would fall in.Seattle had another glimmer in the ninth when Martin hit aa two-out, two-run homer in the ninth off Osuna, but Gamel struck out looking to cap Osunas 34th save.ddddddddddddWe had some good at-bats, couldnt get a lot of breaks. It happens, Servais said.Encarnacions two-run homer off starter Taijuan Walker (6-11) came with two outs in the third on an 0-1 pitch that was left up in the strike zone. Pillar added a two-out RBI single in the fourth inning after Troy Tulowitzki led off with a double.Walker, who has dealt with a foot issue for most of the second-half of the season, took a line drive from Encarnacion off his right biceps in the first inning but remained in the game. He allowed five hits and struck out six in 5 1/3 innings.I was kind of amped up a little bit. Everything just felt just a little bit off, Walker said. It wasnt my best but I felt like it was a big test. I kind of just stayed within myself and try to make pitches and get outs.NEAR NO-NOSEstrada has never completed a no-hitter, but hes been close. He lost a no-hit bid in the eighth inning against Boston on June 5, and also pitched hitless ball into the eighth inning in consecutive starts in June 2015.DONALDSON TOSSEDTorontos Josh Donaldson was ejected in the seventh inning arguing with plate umpire Chris Conroy after being called out on strikes. Donaldson was already upset about a check-swing Conroy called a strike earlier in the at-bat and flipped at being called out on a fastball on the outside corner. Donaldson immediately got in Conroys face and was quickly tossed.UP NEXTBlue Jays: LHP J.A. Happ (19-4) goes for his 20th win. Happ would join Bostons Rick Porcello as the only two pitchers in baseball with 20 wins this season. Happ has won 13 of his last 14 decisions.Mariners: RHP Hisashi Iwakuma (16-11) looks for his third straight victory. Iwakuma allowed just one run in 6 1/3 innings in his last start against the Angels. ' ' '
