Villar has really struggled for the Cubs and Angels this season, but the Mariners will give him another shot as a depth addition. It wouldn't be a surprise if he's up with the big club soon.

Villar cleared waivers after the Angels designated him for assignment and has opted to hit the open market. He'll look for another landing spot for the final two months.

Villar was waived on Sunday after going 8-for-49 with one homer and one steal in his time with the Angels. The 31-year-old infielder is hitting an abysmal .208/.260/.302 with three homers and seven steals across 220 plate appearances this season. 

Batting leadoff in the top of the ninth, Villar hit a 404-foot solo home run to left field -- the Angels' one and only run of the night. The veteran infielder is 8-for-45 (.178) with a home run and a steal since joining the Angels.
