The Seattle Mariners acquired right-hander Joe Wieland from the Los Angeles Dodgers in exchange for minor league infielder Erick Mejia on Tuesday.

Mejia, 21, spent most of last season with Class A Everett and also played for Class A Clinton, the Rookie League Mariners team and Triple-A Tacoma. His combined batting average was .282 with 16 RBIs and 20 stolen bases in 51 games.

Schugel, 26, pitched his first game in the major leagues against the Diamondbacks last year and finished with five strikeouts in five relief appearances for a 5.00 ERA. He also split time in the minors with Double-A Mobile and Triple-A Reno, posting a combined 9-9 record with a 4.84 ERA.
