Aviles finished the season with a batting average of .235 to go with one home run and eight RBI.

EDGE Analysis

Aviles struggled to find playing time in 2017, appearing in only 36 games after being called up from Triple-A New Orleans in late-July. In the last 30 games of the season, Aviles batted .161 in 31 at-bats, and he failed to record any extra-base hits. Based on this poor performance, it's unlikely that his role would change much heading into next season.

Aviles pinch hit for Dustin McGowan in the seventh inning Friday and hit a two-run home run in a 7-4 win over the Reds.

EDGE Analysis

It was the veteran utility infielder's first big-league homer of the year, as he needed only seven games with Miami to match his total in 55 games this season with Triple-A New Orleans. Aviles is now slashing .313/.389/.500 with the Marlins as he sees semi-regular playing time with J.T. Riddle (shoulder) and Martin Prado (knee) both sidelined.

Aviles' contract was purchased from Triple-A New Orleans and he is starting at shortstop and hitting eighth Tuesday in Texas, Andre Fernandez of the Miami Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

J.T. Riddle was placed on the 10-day DL with biceps tendinitis as a corresponding move, so Aviles figures to see time at shortstop while backup Miguel Rojas nurses a shoulder injury. Aviles, a 36-year-old veteran, was hitting .292/.326/.376 with one home run in 196 plate appearances at Triple-A.

The Marlins are expected to select Aviles' contract from Triple-A New Orleans prior to Tuesday's game against the Rangers, Joe Frisaro of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

With J.T. Riddle (shoulder) expected to land on the disabled list and Miguel Rojas (shoulder) day-to-day, the Marlins are getting dangerously low on depth in the middle infield, so Aviles will move back to the big leagues to provide some relief. Rojas is scheduled to visit a doctor Tuesday to determine the severity of the injury, but since it's a good possibility Rojas will be sidelined later in the evening, Aviles could enter the lineup right away. The veteran utility man is batting .292/.326/.376 over 196 plate appearances with New Orleans this season.

The Marlins designated Aviles for assignment Wednesday, Joe Frisaro of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Aviles was added to the 40-man roster last weekend largely as a result of his ability to play all over the diamond and in the outfield, but the 36-year-old didn't stick around with the Marlins for long after a younger, higher-upside utility option in Christian Colon became available via waivers. The Marlins are still hoping to stash Aviles at Triple-A New Orleans if he goes unclaimed, but the veteran will face a more difficult path to return to the big club now that he no longer occupies a 40-man spot.

Aviles had his contract purchased from Triple-A New Orleans on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Aviles hasn't been with the Marlins organization for very long, but with the big-league club in need of infield depth, the veteran utility man was just what the doctor ordered. He'll likely fill a reserve role upon his return to the big leagues, but his versatility and experience could land him a decent amount of playing time until Miami's regulars are back in commission.

Aviles was designated for assignment by the Braves on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Aviles was just traded to the Braves on Tuesday, but it appears that was for contractual reasons, as his tenure with the team did not even last a full day. Aviles figures to garner interest from a team or two looking for a versatile veteran to add to the roster.

Aviles was traded to Atlanta on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

The deal sent Mike Aviles and Kade Scivicque to the Braves while the Tigers acquired Erick Aybar. Aviles has had a very poor showing at the plate this season and currently owns a .210/.258/.269 line. Aviles has played all over the outfield and infield during the 2016 campaign, making it likely that he'll continue serving as a utility man on his new team.

Aviles is 8-for-38 (.211) with one double and no walks or RBI in regular starting duty since July 16.

EDGE Analysis

Aviles is simply a stop-gap in the outfield while J.D. Martinez is out with injury. He is versatile and can play many positions, but at some point, he has to start contributing at the dish.

Aviles continues to struggle in spot duty with the Tigers this season. His has a slash line of .209/.266/.270 and is 2-for-14 with one triple in his last seven games.

EDGE Analysis

The 35-year-old utility infielder has seen his at-bats and production slowly erode over the past few seasons. Aviles has played at least five games at second, third and outfield, and has four starts at shortstop. Unfortunately, positional eligibility is about all Aviles brings to fantasy and that will keep him toiling on the wire for the rest of the season.
