Capel went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run in a loss to the Mets on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
The rookie provided a big blast in the ninth inning to make the final score a tad more palatable after the Athletics entered the frame trailing 13-1. Capel has now hit safely in all five games he's played during his current big-league stint, and he finished with seven RBI over the two weekend games of the interleague series thanks to also having driven in four runs with a triple and home run Saturday.

Capel went 3-for-5 with a solo home run and a triple for a total of two runs scored and four RBI in a 10-4 victory over the Mets on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Capel was highly productive for the Athletics, who managed an upset victory over the Mets thanks to his four-RBI production at the plate to go along with an incredible diving catch in shallow right field. Capel has now played four games as a member of the Athletics and has seven hits in 14 at-bats over that brief stretch.

Capel went 2-for-4 with a walk and a run in a loss to the Mariners on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
The rookie was just recalled from Triple-A Las Vegas on Tuesday and also got aboard twice in his debut that same night. Capel's initial big-league stint this summer netted a .176/.211/.353 slash line across 19 plate appearances over nine games, but he's gotten off to an appreciably better start in the brief two-game sample since his latest promotion.

Capel was recalled from Triple-A Las Vegas on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Capel was claimed off waivers by the A's earlier this month and is now set to join their big-league club after posting a .799 OPS over 32 plate appearances with Las Vegas. Fellow outfielder Cody Thomas will be optioned to Triple-A in order to make room for Capel on the active roster.

Capel was claimed off waivers by the Athletics on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
The Cardinals designated Capel for assignment Wednesday in order to make room on their roster for Alec Burleson. Capel -- who holds a .786 OPS in Triple-A this season -- now finds himself in the Athletics organization and will more than likely be used as a depth piece for the rest of the season.

The Cardinals designated Capel for assignment Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
St. Louis opted to swap Capel off its 40-man roster for a more heralded outfield prospect in Alec Burleson, whose contract was selected from Triple-A Memphis in a corresponding move. Capel, who made a nine-game cameo with the big club earlier this summer, is hitting .258/.361/.425 in 377 plate appearances at Triple-A in 2022.

The Cardinals selected Capel's contract from Triple-A Memphis on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
The 25-year-old is expected to fill a depth role in the St. Louis outfield after the Cardinals placed Harrison Bader (foot) on the 10-day injured list Monday. Capel saw action at all three outfield spots for Memphis while slashing .271/.361/.466 with nine home runs and 16 stolen bases across 252 plate appearances.

Capel was traded from the Indians to the Cardinals on Tuesday along with Jhon Torres in exchange for Oscar Mercado.
EDGE Analysis
This is a rare prospect-for-prospect trade, with the Indians getting Mercado, who is closer to the big leagues, while the Cardinals get Capel, who, most importantly in their eyes, is not on the 40-man roster. The 21-year-old outfielder hit .261/.355/.388 with six home runs and 15 steals in 383 plate appearances at High-A prior to the trade. His combination of some pop and borderline plus speed makes him a rosterable prospect in deeper dynasty leagues.
