Casper Wells (neck) is expected to need at least one more day before returning to action. Wells has been out of commission since having to leave last Saturday's game with a stiff neck. It shouldn't be a long-term concern.

Casper Wells (neck) is expected to be back in the lineup Sunday. Wells missed Saturday's game with neck stiffness. He's competing for a bench job this spring and has made a good argument with two homers and 12 RBI.

Casper Wells was scratched from Saturday's Cactus League game with neck stiffness. This doesn't appear to be anything to be anything serious. Franklin Gutierrez will replace him in the lineup.

Casper Wells launched a three-run homer and added an RBI double in Thursday's win over the Royals. He and Stefen Romero were the big sticks in the game, as Romero had four hits and drove in seven runs. Wells already has 12 RBI this spring, but his role this year with the Mariners is a little unclear.

Casper Wells homered to supply two of the Mariners' three runs in Friday's loss to the Padres. The Mariners have Michael Morse penciled in as the everyday left fielder, making Wells' role unclear at the moment. He certainly deserves to start against left-handers, but as is, the only way that will happen is if the Mariners opt to drop Michael Saunders into a platoon role. The problem there is that Saunders had a reverse split last year, hitting .261/.307/.467 against lefties. A trade for Wells might be a possibility.

Casper Wells homered and drove in five runs in Wednesday's win over the Angels. Wells knocked in all five runs in back-to-back innings, singling in two in the sixth before blasting a three-run shot to cap off the Mariners' six-run seventh. It's his second home run of the series, and he finishes with 10 longballs to go along with a .228 batting mark.

Casper Wells homered, doubled and gunned down Mike Trout at second base in Monday's loss to the Angels. Both hits came off left-hander C.J. Wilson. Wells is probably going to be a platoon player going forward, but he should be a pretty useful one against left-handers. He has seven homers in 129 at-bats against lefties this year. Too bad he's hitting under .200 against righties.

Casper Wells was a late scratch from Saturday's starting lineup due to a stiff neck. Eric Thames will replace him in left field and hit eighth in the Mariners' lineup. Wells hasn't started a game since September 9 and is hitting a disappointing .222/.287/.381 with eight homers and 29 RBI on the season.

Mariners optioned OF Casper Wells to Triple-A Tacoma. Wells has posted a weak .226/.291/.391 slash line in 74 games this season for the Mariners. The 27-year-old outfielder may be brought back up when rosters expand.

Casper Wells had a nice night at the plate on Wednesday, going 3-for-5 with a home run and two RBI in a losing effort against the Royals. Wells also managed to score three runs in the game. His two-run homer off Bruce Chen in the fourth inning briefly tied the score at 3-3. Wells has seen an uptick in playing time recently with the injury to Franklin Gutierrez, and seems to be taking full advantage. He's now hitting .279 with six homers and 24 RBI in just 140 at-bats this season. If he continues to play every day and hit third in the M's lineup, Carp becomes a very intriguing option in deeper mixed fantasy leagues.
