Bruce plans to join the Phillies in San Diego and suit up for the team in Monday's game against the Padres, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Phillies haven't officially announced their acquisition of Bruce, but the veteran was seen packing up his bags in Seattle's locker room Sunday while saying goodbye to his teammates. The Mariners will be covering $18.5 million of the remaining $21 million on the 32-year-old's contract over the next two seasons, according to Greg Johns of MLB.com. With Philadelphia, Bruce will serve as little more than insurance at first base behind Rhys Hoskins and in the corner outfield behind starters Andrew McCutchen and Bryce Harper.

Bruce was acquired by the Phillies from the Mariners on Sunday, Jim Salisbury of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

EDGE Analysis

The trade has been in the works for most of the weekend, and the two sides were finally able to come to an agreement Sunday, though the specific terms have yet to be announced. According to Bob Nightengale of USA Today, the Phillies will be taking on the majority of the remaining $21.5 million of Bruce's contract, which runs through next season. The 32-year-old slashed .212/.283/.533 with 14 home runs in 47 games with the Mariners, but figures to see a reduced role for Philadelphia with Rhys Hoskins at first base and Andrew McCutchen and Bryce Harper already manning the corner outfield spots. McCutchen could start in center field to provide more opportunities in left for Bruce, at the expense of defense. Per Salisbury, Bruce could join the team in time for Sunday afternoon's game at Dodger Stadium.

Bruce is expected to be traded from the Mariners to the Phillies this weekend, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 32-year-old still has power, slugging over .500 in three of the last four seasons, but that's just about all he offers at this point in his career. The anticipated move looks like mostly a negative one for Bruce's fantasy value, as he's unlikely to unseat Rhys Hoskins at first base or Andrew McCutchen or Bryce Harper from the outfield corners. He will at least see a major upgrade in home park, so if an injury to one of that trio opens up a temporary starting role, he could become an interesting option. In a follow-up report from Passan, another source described the deal as not imminent, so it's possible Bruce could remain in Seattle for a little while longer.

Bruce went 1-for-2 with a solo home run and two runs scored in Friday's 4-3 win over the Angels.

EDGE Analysis

The eighth-inning blast is Bruce's 14th homer of the year. He's hit safely in seven of his last nine games, going 10-for-30 with two homers, eight runs scored and five doubles in that span. The recent binge has raised his season line to .212/.283/.533 for the boom-or-bust first baseman/outfielder.

Bruce went 3-for-4 with a double and a home run in a loss to the Athletics on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Bruce essentially embodied the only sign of life from an otherwise moribund Mariners offense Sunday. The veteran slugger has been knocking the cover off the ball as May winds down, as he's racked up four extra-base hits (three doubles, one home run) over the last three games. His three-hit effort also finally vaulted his season average back over the Mendoza Line for the first time since April 21.

Bruce went 2-for-4 with a double and a run in a loss to the Rangers on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Bruce was the only Mariner to contribute a multi-hit effort on a night when the Seattle offense was surprisingly stymied by the likes of Jesse Chavez and Adrian Sampson. Wednesday's solid effort notwithstanding, the veteran slugger is hitting only .200 across 55 May at-bats, but at least seven (four doubles, three home runs) of his 11 hits during the month have gone for extra bases.

Bruce is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Twins, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Despite being tied for the team lead with 12 home runs, Bruce doesn't look to be anything more than a part-time player for Seattle at this point. Now on the bench for the third time in four games, Bruce will need one of the Mariners' first-base or corner-outfield options to succumb to an injury before recapturing steady at-bats.

Bruce remains on the bench Friday against the Twins.

EDGE Analysis

Bruce sits for the second game in a row after starting five straight. It wouldn't be a surprise to see him sit frequently moving forward, with Mallex Smith back in the big leagues. Smith starts in center field Friday, with Mitch Haniger in right.

Bruce is not in the lineup Thursday against the Twins, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bruce will take a seat for Thursday's series opener against the Twins as the Mariners go with an outfield consisting of Domingo Santana, Mallex Smith and Mitch Haniger from left to right. With Smith back from the minors, Bruce, who is hitting just .182 with three homers and a 30.4 percent strikeout rate this month (12 games), could see his playing time start to drop off a bit.

Bruce went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in a loss to the Red Sox on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Bruce capped off a four-run first for the Mariners with a 408-foot shot to right center that plated Domingo Santana. The veteran outfielder's average still sits at an unsightly .192, but he continues to be a reliable source of power. Factoring in Saturday's round tripper, Bruce now has 12 homers and 18 extra-base hits overall across 138 plate appearances.
