The Mariners announced Sunday that Kyle Hunter will take the place of the injured Danny Hultzen on the roster of the Peoria Javelinas in the Arizona Fall League.
Hunter, a 24-year-old southpaw, had a breakout season between High-A High Desert and Double-A Jackson in 2013, compiling a 1.80 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 55/20 K/BB ratio over 70 innings. With a strong offseason, he could put himself in a position to compete for a spot in the Mariners bullpen.
