RUGGIANO TO THE LA DODGERS Monday, August 31, 2015
The Los Angeles Dodgers acquired outfielder Justin Ruggiano and cash from the Seattle Mariners for a player to be named later or cash considerations.
What does it give the Los Angeles Dodgers?
The Dodgers needed some outfield depth because of the recent hamstring injury to right-fielder Yasiel Puig so Ruggiano could platoon with Andre Ethier until Puig returns to action.
What does it give the Seattle Mariners?
The Mariners have not been contending for anything for months, so it is wise for them to ship out spare parts such as Ruggiano for whatever they can get at this stage of the season.
Fantasy Impact
Ruggiano doesn't have much in the way of fantasy value, especially in a big hitters' park such as Chavez Ravine in Los Angeles.
