Ervin was claimed off waivers by the Mariners on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

He was designated for assignment by the Reds last week. Ervin is known as versatile defensive outfielder who struggles against righties (career 75 wRC+, .228/.300/.372 line) but excels against lefties (120 wRC+, .290/.356/.490 line). Once he passes intake testing, he would likely occupy a short-side platoon role.
