Seeking some additional starting pitching depth, the Seattle Mariners acquired right-hander Zach Lee from the Los Angeles Dodgers for infielder Chris Taylor on Sunday night.

The Mariners currently have Felix Hernandez and Wade Miley on the disabled list and Taijuan Walker might miss his next start.

Lee made his major league debut last season with Los Angeles and allowed seven earned runs in 4 2/3 innings during his only start July 25 against the New York Mets. This season, the 24-year-old was 7-5 with a 4.89 ERA in 13 starts for Triple-A Oklahoma City.

Taylor has a .240 batting average spanning 86 games in parts of three seasons with the Mariners. He was batting .312 with three home runs and 29 RBIs in 63 games with Triple-A Tacoma this season.
