The Seattle Mariners on Wednesday placed left-handed reliever Tayler Saucedo on the 15-day injured list and called up left-hander Kirby Snead amid a flurry of moves.
Seattle also reinstated right-hander Eduard Bazardo from the 15-day IL, optioned rookie RHP Emerson Hancock to Triple-A Tacoma and transferred RHP Matt Brash to the 60-day IL to make room on the 40-man roster.
Saucedo, 30, was injured in the eighth inning of Tuesday night’s game on a play at first base. He avoided serious injury and was diagnosed with a right knee hyperextension. Saucedo is 1-0 with a 2.70 ERA and a save in 14 relief appearances this season.
Snead’s first game will mark his Mariners debut. He’s 2-4 with a 5.20 ERA in 68 career relief appearances with Toronto and Oakland.
Bazardo began the season on the IL with a right rotator cuff strain. He made nine appearances with Seattle in 2023, going 0-0 with a 2.63 ERA.
Hancock, 24, has made seven starts with the big league club this season, going 3-3 with a 5.24 ERA. His three quality starts are tied for first among major league rookies, the team said.
