Shae Simmons was activated from the 60-day disabled list on Friday and recalled from a rehab assignment at Triple-A Tacoma.
Fantasy Implications: Simmons missed all of 2015 and most of 2016 recovering from Tommy John surgery. He last appeared in the Majors in 2016, pitching in relief while a member of the Atlanta Braves. The 26-year-old right-hander opened the season with Seattle on the disabled list because of a strained right elbow. He made
13 rehab appearances over the last two months with three different
minor-league clubs. It is likely that Simmons will be used in middle relief for the rest of September.

Fantasy implications: Gamel will retreat to the bench with southpaw Sean Manaea on the mound for the Athletics. The 25-year-old outfielder has been struggling mightily since the All-Star break, although he did break out with a five RBI performance on Monday.

Leonys Martin traded to the Cubs
Leonys Martin was traded to the Cubs on Thursday for a player to be named later or cash.
Fantasy Implications: Martin was the Mariners' opening-day center fielder but spent much of the year at Triple-A Tacoma because of poor performance. The 29-year-old veteran slashed an anemic .174/.221/.287 in 34 games this year with the Mariners. The Cubs did not add Martin to their 40-man roster, but because he was acquired prior to Sept. 1, he will be eligible to play for them in the playoffs.
