Danny Espinosa

The Mets have signed 31-year-old infielder Danny Espinosa to a minor league contract.

Fantasy Impact

The deal included an invite to big league camp. Espinosa is merely infield depth for the Mets. He didn't play in the majors last year.

Danny Espinosa went 3-for-3 on Saturday night vs the Red Sox. He hit three singles in the ball game while also rotating and playing three positions in the game.

Fantasy Impact

Espinosa is well off the fantasy radar and has seen few starts in recent days, but Saturday night he managed to have a perfect night at the plate. The utility man sliced three singles and was one of the lone bright spots in an ugly game for the Rays, it didn't help that Chris Sale was the opposing pitcher. Again, Espinosa is well off the fantasy radar, but it's nice to see him have a good game.

Danny Espinosa has been cut by the Mariners.

Fantasy Impact

Espinosa has now been cut by a pair of AL West clubs after he was also released by the Angels earlier this season. He's struggled mightily this season to the tune of a .516 OPS.

Danny Espinosa has agreed to a Major League contract with Seattle on Sunday.

Fantasy Impact

Espinosa was released by the Angels only three days ago after slashing an ugly .162/.237/.276 and hitting six home runs in 77 games with Los Angeles this season. The switch hitter can play both second base and shortstop. He most likely will be used as Seattle's main utility infielder supplanting Taylor Motter. Espinosa can hit with power; he hit 24 homers in 2016 with the Nationals. His high propensity to strike out makes him a high risk in all fantasy formats.

The Angels came out on top of the Rangers 5-2 on Sunday. Danny Espinosa was no help and continues to struggle at the plate. He went 0-for-4 and never touched base.

Fantasy Impact

Espinosa is hitting .170 on the year and has become a liability in this Angels lineup. If things do not change, Espinosa could see his playing time reduced. He is not worth a look in any format at this time.
