Fantasy Impact:
Slater was designated for assignment by the Marlins on Wednesday, cleared waivers, and elected free agency earlier Sunday. Slater batted just .174 (4-for-23) in 12 games with the Marlins and is a career .247 hitter in 711 games over 10 seasons in the majors. Slater should slide into Pham's role as the complement to left-handed rookie Carson Benge.
