Casper Wells went 1-for-3 with a solo homer and stolen base in Sunday's win over the Mariners.
Since coming over from the Tigers on July 30, Wells has appeared in just 10 games. He's really just a fourth outfielder with mediocre speed and decent pop. The real problem is that he's struck out 44 times in 149 at-bats this season.

Casper Wells hit a two-run homer off Oakland's Rich Harden in Tuesday's game,
Wells has started all three games since joining the Mariners and gone 4-for-11 with three RBI. We're skeptical that he'll hit righties well enough to be a quality regular, but the Mariners might as well give him a long look.

Mariners acquired OF Casper Wells from the Tigers in the Doug Fister deal.
Wells is a very good defensive outfielder and was holding his own with the bat, hitting .259 with four homers and a .781 OPS over 124 plate appearances before being sent down to Triple-A earlier this month. He profiles best as a fourth outfielder/occasional starter.

Tigers optioned OF Casper Wells to Triple-A Toledo.
Wells has been with the Tigers all season, but he was cleared to make room for Wednesday's starter Duane Below. The 26-year-old has been productive when called upon, batting .259 with four homers and a .781 OPS over 124 plate appearances. He'll surely be back before long.
