Seattle Mariners outfielder Taylor Trammell was recalled from Triple-A Tacoma on Tuesday. He takes the roster spot of the injured Kyle Lewis.

Dominic Smith Doubles Twice Monday

New York Mets outfielder Billy McKinney hit his second home run for the Mets Monday night, a solo shot off of Arizona reliever Ryan Buchter. He went 1-for-4 for the game.

Champ or Chump: Jarred Kelenic
