MARINERS BRING IN OUTFIELDER APLIN

The Seattle Mariners acquired outfielder Andrew Aplin from the Houston Astros for cash.

What does it give the Seattle Mariners
The Mariners have struggled this season, so they have been busy acquiring new players. Aplin will provide outfield depth but is not a great candidate to become an everyday player in MLB.

What does it give the Houston Astros
The Astros had designated Aplin for assignment recently, so they were at least able to acquire a future asset or cash in return. Houston has far better options in their outfield currently.

Fantasy impact
Aplin has some speed, but he is more of a fourth outfielder candidate in Major League Baseball. Therefore, he can be safely ignored in most fantasy formats until further notice.
