Randy Arozarena Expected To Report To Mariners On Saturday
1 month agoNewly acquired outfielder Randy Arozarena is expected to report to the Seattle Mariners to make his debut with the team on Saturday on the road in Chicago against the White Sox and right-hander Erick Fedde. In an effort to boost their struggling offense, especially after losing both outfielder Julio Rodriguez (ankle) and shortstop J.P. Crawford (finger) to injuries this week, the Mariners acquired Arozarena from the Tampa Bay Rays on Friday night in exchange for outfield prospect Aidan Smith, pitching prospect Brody Hopkins and a player to be named later. Arozarena, was having a pretty disappointing season in Tampa before the trade, hitting just .211 (74-for-350) but with 15 homers, 37 RBI and 16 stolen bases. The Cuban outfielder has picked things up in July, though, going 19-for-69 (.275) with four homers, seven doubles, nine RBI and six steals in 19 games, so the M's are hoping he can keep that up now that he'll be joining their roster.
