Casper Wells had a big night Monday, going deep and driving in five runs in a win over the Royals. All of his production came in the first two innings, as he launched a three-run shot in the first and then tripled in two more in the second. It was one of three longballs for the M's on the night, as Dustin Ackley and Justin Smoak also hit one out.

Casper Wells went 2-for-4 with a three-run double in the Mariners' 6-3 victory over the Orioles on Monday. Wells is finally getting regular playing time with both Franklin Gutierrez and Michael Saunders out, but he wasn't doing much with it until tonight. He's still a decent enough option in AL-only leagues at the moment.

Casper Wells went 2-for-4 and homered off Tim Lincecum in Saturday's win over the Giants. Wells figures to see most of his action against lefties, but he capitalized in a start against a righty tonight. He might have a little value in AL-only leagues while Mike Carp is out.

Mariners trainer Rick Griffin told Greg Johns of MLB.com that Casper Wells has fully recovered from a "balance disorder." Wells began having vision and balance problems last season after taking a Brandon Morrow fastball off his nose on August 17. He wound up going just 7-for-56 (.125) over his final 18 games before being shut down in mid-September with what was called "vertigo-like symptoms." The 27-year-old figures to serve on the short side of a platoon with Mike Carp in left field now that he's back to full health. His speed and power should make him relevant in AL-only formats.

Casper Wells appears to be over the vertigo-like symptoms that caused him to miss the final three weeks of the season. "I'm fine, I'm doing some physical therapy involving my eyes, but it's not really an issue, anymore," Wells said. "One of the doctors testing my eyes said they were so good that when I was having the trouble my eyesight was still better than most people, so tests weren't picking anything up." Wells, 27, will likely be a bench bat for the Mariners next season.
