David Sappelt finished 2-for-2 with a home run in the Cubs' win over the Rockies on Tuesday in Arizona. Sappelt went yard in the sixth inning off Rockies reliever Edgmer Escalona, who is fighting for an Opening Day roster spot. Sappelt also singled.

He also scored a run on a wild pitch in the sixth. Sappelt has some speed, but he isn't likely to play enough down the stretch to be fantasy relevant.

Cubs acquired OF Dave Sappelt from the Reds in the Sean Marshall trade. Sappelt doesn't get much love from scouts but has continued to hit in the minors, sporting a career .309/.362/.459 batting line.

Sappelt, one of March's biggest surprises when he hit .564 with three homers in 39 at-bats for the Reds, is hitting .270/.299/.338 in 74 at-bats since he was promoted a month ago. He hasn't hit a homer or stolen a base, however, and isn't much of a fantasy option even in NL-only leagues.

Reds purchased the contract of OF Dave Sappelt from Triple-A Louisville. Sappelt turned heads during spring training by batting .564 with three homers in 39 at-bats. He's had a nice year for Louisville, hitting .313 with a .387 to go along with seven home runs and a .415 mark over his last 10 games.
