Andrew Albers was acquired by the Mariners in a cash transaction with Atlanta on Friday. He was assigned to Triple-A Tacoma.
Fantasy Implications: The 31-year-old left-handed journeyman was obtained to help bolster Seattle's rotation after the club placed James Paxton on the disabled list. Albers has been dominant at Triple-A Gwinnett posting a 12-3 record with a 2.61 ERA, 8.58 K/9, 1.42 BB/9 and 0.45 HR/9. He has pitched in 17 Major League games, including 12 starts over the past three years, with Minnesota and Toronto where he compiled a 2-5 record with a 4.41 ERA. His fastball barely reaches the upper 80's, and thus will he is not likely to benefit fantasy managers in need of pitching help.
