TODAY : The Mariners announced that Snead has cleared waivers and been outrighted to Triple-A. As was , Bowman also cleared waivers and chose free agency rather than accept an outright a signment. JUNE 11 : The Mariners announced that they have recalled left-hander and right-hander from Triple-A Tacoma. Daz will start tonights game instead of . To open roster spots for those two arms, both right-hander and left-hander have been designated for a signment. Snead, 29, signed a minor league deal with the Mariners in the offseason. He made 12 appearances for Triple-A Tacoma to start the year with a 2.92 earned run average. He struck out 27.7% of batters faced, gave out walks at a tiny 4.3% rate and got grounders on 63.3% of balls in play. That got him called up to the majors just over a month ago but the results havent been as strong since Toby Welk Jersey then. He made 11 appearances for the Mariners with a 4.35 ERA. His 51.5% ground ball rate was still strong but his strikeout and walk tallies were both seven, giving him a subpar 14.6% rate in each of those categories. Snead pitched in two of the past three games for Seattle and likely would have been down for a day or two. Since hes out of options and the overall results have been mediocre, hes been bumped off the roster as the club gets some fresh arms aboard. Bowman, 33, is also out of options and has been featured in many transactions because of it. The Ms just added him to their roster on Sunday and he made one appearances for them, logging two thirds of an inning in last nights contest. Thats already the third team hes pitched for this year, also taking the mound for the Twins and Diamondbacks. For each player, the Mariners will have one week to either line up a trade or pa s them through waivers. Bowman has a 4.22 ERA in 200 1/3 career innings but most of that work was a long time ago. He didnt pitch in the majors during the 2020-2022 seasons due to injuries, including Tommy John surgery. He returned to the bigs by to sing four innings with the Yankees last year. Overall, hes been able to get decent amounts of ground balls, with 55.6% of balls in play in his career hitting the dirt. Snead has a career ERA of 5.09 in a more limited sample of 74 1/3 innings at the major league level. Daz, 27, signed a minor league deal with the Mariners in the offseason and has been posting great results for Triple-A Tacoma this year. In 12 outings, including 11 starts and one long relief outing, he has thrown 66 1/3 innings with a 2.98 ERA. Thats despite pitching in the hitter-friendly confines of the Pacific Coast League. He has a 24.3% strikeout rate, 5.8% walk rate and 57.1% ground ball rate in that time. He had an opt-out on his minor league deal but the Mariners were clearly impre sed by his work in Tacoma this year. They added him to their 40-man roster to prevent him from triggering that opt-out, but kept him on optional a signment until today. Per Adam Jude of the Seattle Times , Woo is having an MRI on his arm. Its unclear exactly what the i sue is but Woo began the year on the injured list due to right medial elbow inflammation. He returned in early May and has been utterly dominating, with an ERA of 1.07 in his six starts this year. Its a concerning development for the Mariners, both due to how well Woo has been pitching and the fact that it may be a recurrence of the previous i sue. Further updates may be forthcoming after the MRI results come in, but it seems Daz will step in and make at least one spot start. The Mariners have a strong rotation with , , and in four spots, even without Woo. If Woo needs a trip to the IL, perhaps Daz will stick around, though the Ms also have on the 40-man roster.
