Impact Beer isn't in the lineup for Friday's game against the Mariners but could get the chance to make his major-league debut off the bench. The 24-year-old, who was acquired in the Zack Greinke trade in 2019, is a decent prospect but not an elite one, as he really only stands out in the power department. He's exclusively played first base this season after previously spending some time in the outfield corners, so he'll really have to hit to carve out regular at-bats at the highest level. He did just that in 100 games for Triple-A Reno, slashing .287/.398/.511 with 16 homers while striking out just 17.5 percent of the time. Drew Ellis was optioned to clear a spot on the roster.
