Phillip Ervin - Page 2 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Contributes in team debut Ervin, who was claimed off waivers by the Mariners on Thursday, went 1-for-4 with an RBI double in a win over the Rangers on Saturday.

Impact Ervin contributed in his Mariners debut, with his eighth-inning two-bagger plating Dee Strange-Gordon to close out the scoring on the night for Seattle. The 28-year-old outfielder has a more successful body of work against southpaws thus far in his career, but manager Scott Servais notably opted to give Ervin his first start despite right-hander Kyle Gibson toeing the rubber as the starter for the Rangers on Saturday.

Designated for assignment Ervin was designated for assignment by the Reds on Friday.

Impact Ervin tallied just three hits over 35 at-bats this season, so the Reds decided to remove him from the roster and risk losing him on waivers. While Ervin has struggled in 2020, he is 28 years old and owns a career .846 OPS against left-handers, so he could garner interest from several clubs.

Gets start in series opener Ervin will man center field and bat sixth Monday agains the Brewers, Bobby Nightengale of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Impact With southpaw Brett Anderson twirling for Milwaukee, the lefty-hitting Shogo Akiyama will retreat to the bench to clear a spot in the outfield for Ervin, who is starting for only the second time in 12 games. Ervin owns a career 124 wRC+ against lefties, but he hasn't found much success in those matchups early on this season, going 2-for-17 with three walks.

Leading off in opener Ervin will lead off and play left field in Friday's Opening Day game against the Tigers.

Impact How exactly the playing time will break down in a crowded Reds outfield this season remains to be seen. It looks as though the right-handed Ervin will be preferred to lefties Shogo Akiyama and Jesse Winker in left field with a southpaw on the mound like Tigers' Opening Day starter Matthew Boyd. It's not clear if he'll play often enough against righties to have broader fantasy relevance, but the fact that he's leading off Friday is at least a good sign for his value in deeper leagues. He owns a career .907 OPS against lefties compared to a .687 mark against righties, making him an excellent fit for a platoon role.

Impact He was expected to return to action for Sunday's intrasquad game but was having trouble getting loose and is still sore, so he will sit for the second day in a row. If Castellanos is not ready for Opening Day, Phillip Ervin, Mark Payton and Josh VanMeter could be options to see extra playing time.
