Outrighted to Triple-A The Mariners outrighted Vosler to Triple-A Tacoma on Wednesday.

Loses 40-man roster spot The Mariners designated Vosler for assignment on Monday.

Impact Vosler will cede his spot on the Mariners' 40-man roster to lefty reliever Austin Kitchen, whom Seattle claimed off waivers from Miami. Before he was optioned to Triple-A Tacoma on Aug. 8, Vosler enjoyed a two-week run in the big leagues with Seattle shortly after the All-Star break, slashing .179/.233/.286 over 10 games. The 31-year-old corner infielder is likely to go unclaimed off waivers.

Headed back to Tacoma Vosler was optioned to Triple-A Tacoma on Thursday.

Impact Vosler will head back to Tacoma after spending over two weeks with the major-league club, going 5-for-28 with a triple, a double, three RBI and two runs scored. The 30-year-old will now have to wait for his next opportunity with the Mariners. In a corresponding move, Dominic Canzone (thigh) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list.

Starting, but likely to lose work Vosler will start at first base and bat seventh in Monday's game against the Red Sox.

Impact Vosler will pick up his fifth start in six games Monday, but his run of steady playing time will likely soon come to an end. The Mariners have acquired two everyday players in Randy Arozarena and Justin Turner within the past few days, and Vosler looks to be one of the Mariners regulars most at risk of losing out on work as Seattle clears room in the lineup for the new arrivals. Vosler has gone 4-for-18 with two extra-base hits, one walk, two RBI and two runs since getting called up from Triple-A Tacoma last Monday.

Plates pair with timely knock Vosler went 1-for-5 with a two-run single in a win over the White Sox on Friday.

Impact Vosler gets credit for lighting the proverbial match for what had been a completely moribund Mariners offense coming into Friday -- his timely knock that drove in Jorge Polanco and Cal Raleigh ignited what would be an eight-run first inning and 10-run night for Seattle. The recent arrival slotted in at first base in the big win, and he figures to continue splitting time there with rookie Tyler Locklear for the foreseeable future while also potentially seeing occasional time at third base or designated hitter. Vosler has hit safely in each of his first three games with the Mariners, and Friday's pair of RBI were his first in a Seattle uniform.

Productive in Mariners debut Vosler slotted in at designated hitter in Tuesday's 5-1 loss to the Angels and went 1-for-3 with a double, a walk and a run.

Impact The new arrival delivered the only extra-base hit for the Mariners on another anemic night for the team's offense. Vosler, along with fellow Triple-A callups Tyler Locklear and Cade Marlowe, was one of three new faces in Seattle's lineup Tuesday, and it remains to be seen if he'll be able to carve out a regular role for the short term while the team deals with the absences of Julio Rodriguez (ankle) and J.P. Crawford (finger) while also managing the recent release of Ty France.

Added to roster The Mariners selected Vosler's contract from Triple-A Tacoma on Monday.

Impact Vosler, 30, has slashed .289/.357/.526 with 20 home runs over 89 games this season with Tacoma. He's mostly played first base and right field with Tacoma but has also seen a bit of action at third base and in left field. It's been reported that the Mariners would recall Tyler Locklear as they placed Ty France on outright waivers, so Vosler could just be a roster stop-gap until France's situation is resolved.

Outrighted to Triple-A Vosler cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Louisville on Thursday.

Impact Vosler had been designated for assignment by Cincinnati this past Monday after posting a rough .161/.200/.371 batting line across 65 plate appearances to begin the 2023 season. The 29-year-old will remain part of the Reds organization for the time being.

Dropped from 40-man roster The Reds designated Vosler for assignment Monday.

Impact After securing a spot on the Reds' Opening Day roster, Vosler made an early splash by providing six extra-base hits and nine RBI through the Reds' first eight games, but a 36 percent strikeout rate during that stretch was a warning sign that tough times were ahead for the 29-year-old. Regression ended up hitting Vosler hard, as he had fallen into a 4-for-38 rut at the dish over his last 12 games while striking out in 40 percent of his plate appearances. Though Joey Votto (shoulder/biceps) remains on the injured list, the Reds will likely turn over first base to Wil Myers on a regular basis to open up more opportunities for other outfielders rather than sticking with Vosler as an everyday option in the infield.

Takes seat Monday Vosler is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Rays.

Impact Since the Rays are deploying a lefty (Jalen Beeks) as their opening pitcher Monday, the lefty-hitting Vosler will take a seat for the third time in five games, with his other two absences also coming against southpaws. Wil Myers will get the nod at first base Monday, but Vosler should have a clear path to regular playing time versus righties at least until Joey Votto (shoulder/biceps) is activated from the 10-day injured list.

APRIL 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Not starting Thursday Vosler isn't in the Reds' lineup for Thursday's game against the Phillies.

Impact Vosler will take a seat with fellow lefty Bailey Falter slated to start on the mound for Philadelphia. Tyler Stephenson will shift to first base in place of Vosler, giving Curt Casali a chance to start behind the dish and bat eighth.

Sits against lefty Vosler is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Phillies.

Impact Vosler will once again head to the bench with the Reds going up against a left-handed pitcher in Bailey Falter. Wil Myers will come in to play first base while Stuart Fairchild starts in right field.

APRIL 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Homers in third straight Vosler went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's loss against the Cubs.

Impact Make it three consecutive games with a homer for Vosler, who had four long balls all of last season (a career high). He also had a triple in the opener, so Vosler is slugging a cool 1.113 in the early going. The 29-year-old is doing his best Brandon Drury impression and the Reds figure to ride with Vosler's hot bat in the starting lineup for the time being, at least against right-handed pitching.

Homers off bench Vosler went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run and an additional run scored in Monday's win over the Cubs.

Impact He entered the game in the bottom of the second inning, replacing Jose Barrero (hamstring) on the bases. Vosler stayed in at first base as Wil Myers moved out to right field and TJ Friedl shifted to center. Vosler would end up playing the hero for Cincinnati, hitting a three-run shot in the fifth inning which proved to be the game winner. While he's not an everyday starter for the Reds, Vosler has been swinging the bat well early on when given the opportunity.
