Mallex Smith Optioned, Braden Bishop Called Up

5 years agoThe Seattle Mariners optioned outfielder Mallex Smith to Triple-A Tacoma on Tuesday and called up outfielder Braden Bishop in a corresponding move. Smith has eight steals on the season but was hitting .165/.255/.247 in 97 at-bats to begin the year and was recently moved to the bottom of the batting order. If you're in need of speed, he should be held onto in mixed leagues while he figures things out on the farm. Dee Gordon benefits with the move to the leadoff spot. Bishop, the team's No. 11 prospect per MLB Pipeline, was hitting .267 with three long balls and 13 RBI in 21 games for Tacoma. He could see some playing time, but the most likely scenario is that Mitch Haniger shifts to center field, which would allow Jay Bruce to serve in right, Daniel Vogelbach to play first and Edwin Encarnacion to stay at designated hitter.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
