JAKE BAUERS NEWS

Drives in one in team debut Bauers went 1-for-4 with an RBI groundout in a loss to the Tigers on Thursday.

Impact Bauers made a solid impression in his team debut, lacing a single and also plating Jake Fraley on a fourth-inning comebacker. The 25-year-old will look to help the Mariners hold down the fort at first base while Evan White (hip) remains sidelined, and given the latter's struggles this season, Bauers could perhaps still work in a platoon with his teammate beyond White's IL return.

Indians send 1B Jake Bauers to Mariners for player or cash

The Cleveland Indians have traded first baseman Jake Bauers to the Seattle Mariners for a player to be named or cash

JUNE 10, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Moves to Mariners Bauers was traded from Cleveland to Seattle in exchange for cash considerations Thursday.

Impact Bauers was once a fairly highly-rated prospect, but he's yet to even produce an average batting line in three years in the majors, a problem that gets worse when considering he's primarily a first baseman who occasionally plays left field. His 2021 campaign has been his worst, as he's hit just .190/.277/.280 in 113 plate appearances, though his .260 xBA and .401 xSLG are both career highs. Expectations should remain modest for Bauers given his track record, but he could see some playing time over the next few weeks, as primary first baseman Evan White is out with a hip injury.

Impact Bauers had lost out on playing time recently, and he'll be removed from the 40-man roster after he hit .190 with two home runs and six RBI to begin the year. Yu Chang should serve as the primary first baseman going forward, while Bobby Bradley was recalled from Triple-A Columbus as part of a corresponding move.

Homers in win Bauers went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Wednesday's 3-2 win over the Angels.

Impact Bauers walked in his first at-bat and then later led off the fifth with a solo home run to center to tie the game up at 2-2. It was his third straight game with a hit yet he's only slashing .203/.289/.324 with two home runs, six RBI and five runs scored. The 25-year-old continues to be platooned against left-handed pitching which hurts his value even more given the fact that he's already struggling at the plate to begin with.
