Milone

Milone went unclaimed on waivers after being designated for assignment last Thursday by Seattle. The 36-year-old journeyman left-hander has made a pair of starts this season for the Mariners and will presumably opt to stick around in case another spot start arises. It’s also possible he’ll elect free agency to find a new opportunity.

The 36-year-old southpaw made a spot start against the Giants on Wednesday — giving up just one earned run over 4 1/3 innings against the Giants. There’s a chance that another club desperate for starting pitching depth could take a shot on him.

The Mariners had recalled Milone to make his second start of the season for the team. He got through two scoreless frames before a single, walk, and a sacrifice fly brought a run in for the Giants in the third inning. A walk and a single put two runners on in the fifth before a fielding error allowed the second run to score. That would be it for Milone, who finished with one earned run allowed on four hits and no strikeouts to four walks. The 36-year-old southpaw now has a 2.00 ERA, 1.44 WHIP, and a 3/6 K/BB across nine innings.

He’ll start in Bryce Miller’s place tonight against the Giants. It’ll be Milone’s second start for Seattle this year; he allowed one run in 4 2/3 innings against the Rockies on Apr. 14.

Milone hasn’t officially been added to the roster, but he’ll take Bryce Miller’s rotation spot this time through.

Milone went unclaimed on waivers after being designated for assignment last weekend and will presumably head back to Triple-A Tacoma rather than elect free agency. The 36-year-old veteran southpaw allowed one run over 4 2/3 innings last Friday in a spot start against the Rockies. He’s merely emergency starting pitching depth at this stage of his career.

The 36-year-old southpaw pitched well in a spot start against the Rockies on Friday night -- giving up just one run on three hits and a pair of walks over 4 2/3 innings. There’s a good chance that he’ll pass through waivers unclaimed once again and continue to provide rotation depth for the M’s at Triple-A Tacoma.

The 36-year-old southpaw pitched well in his only start at Triple-A Tacoma this season -- firing five shutout innings with a 0.60 WHIP and a 5/1 K/BB ratio. He’ll likely get two trips through the Rockies’ lineup on Friday and isn’t a recommended streaming option for fantasy purposes.

With these cuts, the Mariners are down to 37 players remaining in big league camp -- 31 of them on the 40-man roster and six non-roster invitees. Milone, 36, appeared in just one Cactus League game -- posting a 4.50 ERA and 2.00 WHIP with two strikeouts in two innings. He’ll continue to function as depth at Triple-A Tacoma.

The 35-year-old southpaw keeps hanging around and will give it a go for another season. He appeared in seven games for the Mariners in 2022 -- posting a 5.40 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and a 5/6 K/BB ratio over 16 2/3 innings. It seems unlikely that he’ll be able to crack the Mariners’ Opening Day bullpen.
