The Seattle Mariners called up SS Nick Franklin from Triple-A Tacoma.

Fantasy Tip: Franklin is hitting .324-4-20 at AAA and has big power potential. He hit .278-11-55 at Double-A and Triple-A. Pick him up in AL-only leagues, but hold off in mixed leagues for now.

The Seattle Mariners will recall INF Carlos Triunfel from the minors Friday, May 24, after they designated 2B Robert Andino for assignment. Triunfel likely beat out SS Nick Franklin because he can play second, third and shortstop.

Fantasy Tip: Triunfel should be nothing more than infield depth for the M's, limiting his value to AL-only leagues.
