12 months agoThe New York Yankees claimed outfielder
Taylor Trammell off waivers from the Los Angeles Dodgers on Thursday. To make room on their 40-man roster, the Yankees designated infielder
Kevin Smith for assignment. The Dodgers dumped Trammell off their 40-man roster earlier this week after going hitless with three strikeouts in six plate appearances with them over five games. The former 35th overall pick by the Cincinnati Reds in 2016 out of high school just has not been able to figure out major-league pitching in 121 games, batting .165 (51-for-310) with 15 home runs, 39 RBI and four stolen bases. For now, he'll ride the pine in the Bronx while providing outfield depth behind
Aaron Judge,
Juan Soto,
Giancarlo Stanton,
Alex Verdugo and
Trent Grisham.

12 months agoLos Angeles Dodgers outfielder
Taylor Trammell is starting in left field and is batting ninth for the Dodgers on Monday against the Minnesota Twins and right-handed
Bailey Ober for the series opener. The former top prospect with the Seattle Mariners will make his first start for the Blue after being claimed off waivers from Seattle and called up to the majors when
Jason Heyward (back) landed on the injured list last week. The 26-year-old probably isn't going to see many more starts this year and isn't a recommended DFS play for Monday's slate. The left-handed hitter is a career .167/.269/.367 hitter in 118 big-league games with 15 home runs, 39 RBI and four stolen bases in 352 plate appearances. Trammell didn't record a hit in his only career at-bat against Ober.

2 years agoSeattle Mariners outfielder
Taylor Trammell is starting in left field for Sunday's series finale against the Toronto Blue Jays. Trammell was called up in the wake of
Jarred Kelenic's (foot) injury earlier in the week so this will be his first game starting.
Dylan Moore, who's played in every contest since Kelenic went down, will be getting Sunday off. Trammell owns a .274/.387/.537 batting line with 12 home runs, 32 RBI, and six stolen bases across 45 games at Triple-A Tacoma this season but is batting just .133 with a .611 OPS in 20 games with the M's. There's not much, if any, fantasy appeal here. Trammell is batting eighth and
Kolten Wong, who is starting at second base, is batting ninth against
Alek Manoah.

2 years agoSeattle Mariners outfielder
Taylor Trammell (hand) is getting close to going on a minor-league rehab assignment and is "probably looking at a few more days," according to manager Scott Servais. Trammell has picked up his baseball activity in Arizona and has been hitting off a pitching machine. He suffered a broken hamate bone in his right hand in February and has been on the shelf since after having surgery. The 25-year-old missed all of spring training, so he'll need plenty of game action in the minors before the Mariners even think about calling him up to the Show. Injuries continue to be the story for Trammell, who played in just 43 games for Seattle in 2022. He'll have to produce to prove he belongs on the big-league roster in 2023.
