Ariel Miranda (8-7) lasted only 1 2/3 innings surrendering four runs on six hits and three walks, and was credited with the loss in Seattle's defeat to the Rangers on Monday. He struck out none.
Fantasy Implications: An absolute stinker for Miranda and his fantasy owners. The 27-year-old left-hander threw a whopping 50 pitches in less than two innings, in which only 24 were for strikes. It appears that with each subsequent start Miranda goes from bad to worse. Since the beginning of July, he has spun only two quality starts in 12 appearances. Tonight's poor performance bumped Miranda's ERA from 4.72 to 4.90 for the year. Only GM's that can stomach extreme derring-do should consider inserting Miranda into their lineups at this crucial time of the fantasy campaign. His next scheduled start is Saturday against the Astros in Houston.

Jarrod Dyson to undergo surgery
Jarrod Dyson elected to have surgery to repair a groin injury, and will miss the rest of the season.
Fantasy Implications: On Monday, manager Scott Servais confirmed that Dyson did not make the team's trip to Texas, but opted to have surgery to repair a "core muscle injury." The procedure is considered minor, but nevertheless the 33-year-old outfielder will miss the remainder of the season. Dyson finishes the year after slashing .251/.324/.350 with five home runs, 30 RBIs, 56 runs scored and 28 stolen bases. A free agent after the season, Dyson has declared he will test the open market.

Yonder Alonso is not in lineup
Yonder Alonso is not the lineup for Seattle's game against the Rangers on Monday.
Fantasy Implications: Yonder will head to the bench with southpaw Cole Hamels on the hill for Texas. He will get to clear his head after going 0-for-12 in his last three games. Danny Valencia will take his place at first base and bat sixth.

Ryan Weber outrighted to Triple-A Tacoma
Ryan Weber was outrighted to Triple-A Tacoma on Monday.
Fantasy Implications: Weber was activated from the 60-day disabled list, and immediately outrighted to the Rainiers. The 27-year-old right-hander has been recovering from a right strained biceps since mid-May. The injury restricted him to only one 2017 appearance with the big-club, back on May 13 in Toronto. In 2016, while with the Braves, Weber posted a feeble 5.45 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 23/5 K/BB over 36 1/3 innings. Without saying, Weber offers no fantasy value at this time.

Zac Curtis claimed off waivers
Zac Curtis was claimed off waivers by Philadelphia on Monday.
Fantasy Implications: Curtis was designated for assignment by the Mariners on September 4. The Phillies evidently liked what they saw in the 25-year-old southpaw to claim him off of waivers. He made appearances in three big-league games this year for Seattle, all in relief, giving up three unearned runs on three hits (one for a homer), two strikeouts, one walk, two hit-by-pitch, and two wild pitches over 4 2/3 innings. His main body of work was performed at Double-A Arkansas, where he posted a 3.51 ERA, 1.21 WHIP, and an eye-opening 60/19 K/BB over 51 1/3 innings. He will likely have a role in the bullpen, and pitch in low-leverage situations as the season winds to close.

Nick Vincent saddled with loss
Nick Vincent (3-2) allowed three runs on one hit and one walk (intentional) over two-thirds of an inning, and was charged with the loss in Seattle's 5-3 defeat to the Angels on Sunday. He struck out none.
Fantasy Implications: Vincent has not pitched a clean frame in his last four outings, a stretch in which he has surrendered five earned runs, six hits, and three walks over three innings. Two of the runs charged to Vincent on Sunday were unfortunately dictated by the circumstances of the game. After Ben Revere singled and stole second for the Angels, the 31-year-old right-hander then intentionally walked Mike Trout, who came around to score on a Justin Upton double. Upton advanced to third on an Albert Pujols' fly-out to center, and then scored when Marc Rzepczynski, who relieved Vincent, uncorked a wild pitch. Vincent, however, has been a steady force in the Mariners' bullpen, as attested by his fine 2.52 ERA, 1.07 WHIP, 48/13 K/BB and 27 holds for the year. He has given up only two long balls over 60 2/3 innings of work. In leagues that count holds, Vincent can provide ample fantasy value.
