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.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Atlanta pinch-hitter Pablo Sandoval drove a two-run homer to the deepest part of the ballpark off a Washington reliever who took over after Stephen Strasburg’s six scoreless innings Wednesday, lifting the Braves to a 2-0 victory over the Nationals and a doubleheader sweep. Sandoval drove a 96 mph fastball from Tanner Rainey (0-1) more than 400 feet following Dansby Swanson’s two-out single in the seventh and final inning. Luke Jackson (1-0) earned the win in Game 2, and Sean Newcomb got three strikeouts for the save. Ronald Acuña Jr. doubled and had a pair of singles as Atlanta won the opener 7-6. The Braves put up five runs in the second inning off Erick Fedde (0-1), then wound up barely holding on with a save by Will Smith. Andrew Stevenson grounded into a game-ending double play. Josh Tomlin (1-0) pitched two hitless innings. Washington is missing nine players because of a coronavirus outbreak that led to the postponement of the team’s first four games. Four players...
