Mariners To Designate Jose Suarez For Assignment

"The Mariners are designating left-hander Jose Suarez for assignment, reports Ari Alexander of Boston 7 News. Seattle will activate Bryce Miller from the 15-day injured list to start tomorrow's game against the Astros. They needed to drop someone from the pitching staff in a corresponding move."

"Suarez, who is out of minor league options, winds up being the roster casualty. (Seattle will also activate Jose A. Ferrer from the paternity list within the next day or two, so that'll push someone else from the middle relief corps back to the minors.) Suarez made just one appearance in an M's uniform, allowing a run on two hits and a couple walks over two innings."

"They'd claimed him off waivers from the Braves on May 3. More to come."

Ferrer is also expected to be activated from the paternity list soon, which will push another middle reliever back to the minors.
