Larry Drew II inked a contract with the Heat on Tuesday. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Fantasy Implications: Drew II played with the NBA G League's Sioux Falls Skyforce last year. He appeared in 10 games primarily coming off the bench, and averaged 8.1 points, 5.9 assists, 2.7 rebounds and 23.5 minutes while shooting
47.7 percent from the floor, 40 percent from three-point range and 71.4
percent from the foul line. The 27-year-old guard also played internationally in Lithuania and Puerto Rico. Drew II last played in the NBA back in the 2014-15 season with Philadelphia where he averaged 3.8 points, 1.3 rebounds and 3.8 assists over 12 games. He had previously been in training camp with the Heat in both 2013 and 2014. Drew II will have a difficult time making Miami's final roster.

Kyle Seager hits another homer
Kyle Seager hit a solo homer, his only hit of the night in four at-bats, in Seattle's 5-3 loss to the Astros on Wednesday.
Fantasy Implications: Seager's solo shot was his third homer in as many games. Unfortunately, all three came with the bases empty. The 29-year-old third baseman had been scuffling in the nine games prior to his recent home run binge, slashing a dismal .152/.256/.182 and only no multi-hit games in that span. Perhaps Seager can build upon his sudden power surge to finish out the campaign.

Edwin Diaz suffers loss
Edwin Diaz (3-6) was charged with the loss when he allowed two runs on three hits while striking out one over one inning in Seattle's 5-3 loss to the Astros on Wednesday.
Fantasy Implications: Diaz was summoned in the ninth inning to protect a 3-3 tie. He was rudely greeted by Carlos Beltran, who led off the frame with a line drive double to left. After getting Juan Centeno to ground out to short, Diaz delivered a 100.2 mph fast ball to Cameron Maybin, who deposited the pitch into the right field bleachers for a two-run homer. Unfortunately for Diaz, the triple-digit fastball was the third-fastest pitch hit for a home run in the Majors this year. "I think I have to tip my hat to Maybin." the young fireballer said. "He hit a great pitch, great location. He hit it late, and it was a homer. The one to Beltran I thought was a good pitch, too. If I throw that pitch a little higher to Maybin, maybe it's a fly ball. But I thought I threw a perfect pitch, and he hit it pretty good." Diaz is one of the better closers in the American League with 31 saves. Consider this outing a blip in the radar.

Andrew Moore pitches to no-decision
Andrew Moore allowed two runs on three hits while walking two and striking out three over six innings in Seattle's 5-3 loss to the Astros on Wednesday. He did not factor into the decision.
Fantasy Implications: Moore exited the game with a chance to earn the win, but the Mariner bullpen was unable to protect Seattle's 3-2 lead. It was the 23-year-old righty's first quality start since July 8, and his second consecutive start without allowing a home run. However, with his unpalatable 2.2 HR/9, 4.1 K/9 and 5.89 ERA, fantasy owners who insert Moore into their lineups do so at their own risk. His next scheduled start is Tuesday against the Rangers in Arlington.
