Dave Sappelt - OF - Cubs

Cubs acquired OF Dave Sappelt from the Reds in the Sean Marshall trade.

Sappelt doesn't get much love from scouts but has continued to hit in the minors, sporting a career .309/.362/.459 batting line. He batted .243/.289/.318 in a 107 at-bat cup of coffee with the Reds this past season and will have a shot to win a spot on Chicago's bench.

Dave Sappelt - OF - Cubs

Dave Sappelt went 3-for-5 with two doubles, a walk and two runs scored in a victory against the Cubs Tuesday.

Sappelt has hit safely in his last six games. Sappelt, one of March's biggest surprises when he hit .564 with three homers in 39 at-bats for the Reds, is hitting .270/.299/.338 in 74 at-bats since he was promoted a month ago. He hasn't hit a homer or stolen a base, however, and isn't much of a fantasy option even in NL-only leagues.

Dave Sappelt - OF - Cubs

Reds purchased the contract of OF Dave Sappelt from Triple-A Louisville.

Sappelt turned heads during spring training by batting .564 with three homers in 39 at-bats. He's had a nice year for Louisville, hitting .313 with a .387 to go along with seven home runs and a .415 mark over his last 10 games. Sappelt should get some starts in left field while Chris Heisey is sidelined.

Dave Sappelt went 3-for-5 with a homer and a double as Triple-A Louisville's leadoff man on Wednesday.

Sappelt, one of March's biggest surprises when he hit .564 with three homers in 39 at-bats for the Reds, has kept it going in April, starting off at .423 in seven games for Louisville. Even if the Reds don't develop any crisis in the outfield, they may have to give the 24-year-old a look at some point.
