Cardinals acquired RHP Seth Elledge from the Mariners for RHP Sam Tuivailala.
Ranked by MLB.com as the Mariners' No. 10 prospect Elledge holds a 1.17 ERA and 54/15 K/BB ratio over 38 1/3 innings at the High-A level this season. The 22-year-old will be promoted to Double-A Springfield to start his tenure with the Cards and could move quickly.
Tuivailala holds a 3.04 ERA across 74 relief innings over the last two seasons but hasn't missed as many bats (60 strikeouts) as his velocity suggests he should. Still, he's a quality middle relief addition for the Mariners and is under team control through 2022.
