DETROIT (AP) The Los Angeles Dodgers acquired infielder Chris Taylor from the Seattle Mariners on Sunday night for pitching prospect Zach Lee.

The 25-year-old Taylor has played in 86 major league games but has spent almost all of this season with Triple-A Tacoma. He hit .312 with three homers and 12 stolen bases with the Rainiers, spending time at shortstop, second base and third base. Taylor has hit .240 in the majors.

The right-handed Lee was pitching at Triple-A Oklahoma City and was 7-5 with a 4.89 ERA. The 24-year-old was a first-round pick in 2010 and made his major league debut last year, allowing seven runs in 4 2/3 innings against the Mets on July 25.
