The Seattle Mariners announced that right-handed pitcher Hagen Danner has cleared waivers and will be outrighted to Triple-A Tacoma, providing the team with additional depth without occupying a roster spot. Danner was designated for assignment to make room for Luis F. Castillo. Despite a limited major league experience, with only one-third of an inning pitched, he boasts an impressive minor league ERA of 2.93. As a former catcher, injuries have hindered his progress, but his performance suggests he could be valuable for the team as fresh arms are often needed throughout the season.
Danner's potential as a depth pitcher is intriguing for Seattle, as they look for fresh arms throughout the long MLB season, especially given his solid minor league numbers.
The Mariners' decision to outright Danner to Triple-A Tacoma allows them to retain a prospect with promise without using a roster spot, a strategic depth move.
