Seattle Mariners first baseman/outfielder Jose Marmolejos drove in two runs Wednesday against the Houston Astros, going 2-for-5 with a double and a run scored. Marmolejos has played in eight games since being recalled from Triple-A Tacoma, going 5-for-22 with one home run. He provides plenty of pop against righties, but he's only rosterable in very deep leagues with daily lineup changes.
Seattle Mariners first baseman/outfielder Jose Marmolejos got the start against the Houston Astros Monday, and he homered in his first at-bat. He went 1-for-3 in the game before being replaced with a pinch-hitter. It appears as though Marmolejos will play against right-handed pitching, giving him the larger side of a platoon role. With 4 homers in 82 at-bats this year, and plenty more in Triple-A, he makes for an intriguing add in deeper leagues, especially those with daily lineup changes.
Seattle Mariners first baseman/outfielder Jose Marmolejos was recalled to the major leagues from Triple-A Tacoma Monday. Relief pitcher Jimmy Yacabonis was designated for assignment in a corresponding move. Marmolejos has played in 72 games at Triple-A this year, and produced a .360 batting average with 23 homers and 71 RBI. His 1.152 OPS is the highest in the minor leagues. With several matchups against righty pitchers coming up, the lefty-swinging Marmolejos is worth an add-and-start, and could be a sneaky DFS play.
Seattle Mariners first baseman Jose Marmolejos has been designated for assignment Friday. Marmolejos has been playing more frequently of late Evan White and Ty France on the injured list, and he's struggled to a .139/.266/.278 slash line for the season with only three homers and nine RBI in 79 at-bats. He can be safely dropped in all formats.
Seattle Mariners outfielder Jose Marmolejos went deep for the third time on Monday, hitting a laser of a shot off of Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Dustin May. The lefty swinger took a 98.9 MPH fastball and turned it around with a 114.1 MPH exit velocity. It was a low line drive, with a launch angle of only 17 degrees. Marmolejos has been excellent at supplying power through 33 at-bats, posting a .545 slugging percentage. With Kyle Lewis set to return Tuesday, Marmolejos could be in for a reduction in playing time, but fantasy managers in daily leagues should keep an eye on how Marmolejos is utilized. He's very useful against right-handed pitching.
Seattle Mariners outfielder Jose Marmolejos is once again batting fourth in the lineup. This has become commonplace when the Mariners face a right-handed starter, as they do Friday against Jose Urquidy and the Houston Astros. For the year, 22 out of 24 of Marmolejos's plate appearances have come against righties, and he has produced an .892 OPS in such situations. He's a strong matchup play in this contest, and a good bench bat in daily lineup fantasy formats.
Seattle Mariners first baseman Jose Marmolejos went deep Tuesday, blasting a three-run home run off Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Dean Kremer in the second half of a double-header. The big fly, which came with two outs, gave Seattle a short-lived lead. It was Marmolejos's second homer of the season, and he may be earning himself additional playing time against righties with Evan White struggling at the dish to start the year. Fantasy managers in daily leagues will want to keep an eye on Marmolejos.
Seattle Mariners first baseman and outfielder Jose Marmolejos homered for the first time this year on Thursday, sending a Jose Berrios curveball over the right-center field wall. The ball left the bat at 106.6 MPH, and traveled 424 feet. Marmolejos was in the lineup at first base for the nicked up Evan White. With the injuries to Kyle Lewis, Evan White, and Jake Fraley, Marmolejos is in line for some increased playing time over the next few weeks. He could be a useful fantasy bat against right-handed pitchers for those in daily leagues.
Seattle Mariners outfielder Jose Marmolejos followed up Evan White's home run Monday with a blast of his own. The homer, which carried an 112 MPH exit velocity, came off reigning National League Cy Young Award winner Trevor Bauer. Marmolejos is expected to start the season as a bench bat with the big league club, capable of playing both left field and first base. He isn't a fantasy consideration, as even an injury to a starter would be unlikely to result in a change of role or significant playing time.
