The Seattle Mariners placed first baseman Ty France on outright waivers, multiple sources reported Sunday night.
Any other team can claim France, but if he clears waivers, he will stay with Seattle and could be outrighted to the minors.
However, if he wanted to, France could reject the assignment to the minors since he has five years of major league experience under his belt. The 30-year-old is currently in his sixth season in the big leagues.
France came on as a defensive substitution during Sunday’s 6-4 victory over the visiting Houston Astros, grounding into a double play in his lone at-bat.
In 88 games this season, France has hit .223 with eight home runs and 31 RBIs.
An American League All-Star in 2022, France is a career .264 hitter across 650 games with the San Diego Padres (2019-20) and Mariners (2020-24). He has 69 homers and 292 RBIs.
In terms of winning percentage, Seattle is tied with the Astros atop the American League West.
