Mike Aviles

Aviles went 2-for-4 including an RBI infield single in the eighth-inning of the Tigers 4-2 win over Seattle.

Fantasy Impact

The Tigers utility player got the start in right field and was able to contribute to a nice win for the Tigers. He is batting .226 with five RBI this season in limited playing time.

Mike Aviles went 1-for-5 with a double in Sunday’s series finale vs. the Yankees. He scored a run, struck out twice and dropped his batting average to .223.

Fantasy Impact

Mike Aviles has not offered fantasy owners much this season apart from his multi-position versatility. He has a .233/.275/.309 slash line with 27 runs, four home runs, 13 RBI and 3 stolen bases. Unfortunately his production has slipped even further in the last 30 days with a .164 AVG (9-for-55) and .425 OPS.

Utility-player Mike Aviles went 1-for-4 in Tuesday's defeat by the Red Sox.

Fantasy Impact

Mike Aviles does not have much fantasy value apart from his multi-position eligibility. So far in August, the 34-year-old has started at second base (when Jason Kipnis hit the DL), left field (whilst Michael Brantley was rested) and third base (now that Giovanny Urshela is nursing a sore shoulder). Unfortunately, he is not producing much with this playing time with a disappointing .626 OPS.

Mike Aviles has been reinstated from the MLB Family Emergency List. In a reciprocal move, SS Ramirez was optioned back to Triple-A

Fantasy Impact

The Indians infield looks settled with Jason Kipnis (2B), Giovanny Urshela (3B) and Francisco Lindor (SS), so playing time opportunities will be limited for Mike Aviles. Look for him to get 1-2 starts per week in the outfield when Michael Bourn sits.

On Saturday, the Indians announced that Mike Aviles would be placed on the Family Medical Emergency List, with Jose Ramirez getting the call from Triple-A.

Fantasy Impact

Mike Aviles started the season with mixed league viability with a .288/.373/.462 slash line to May 6. Then he had his first stint on Family Medical Emergency List, since when he has slumped with a .232/.275/.304 slash line.
