Jhonathan Diaz has returned to the Seattle Mariners on a minor league contract after briefly being designated for assignment. Already in camp as a non-roster invitee, Diaz will compete for a spot or likely serve as a depth option for Triple-A Tacoma. With 45 innings pitched in the majors over four seasons, his 4.80 ERA is modest. However, Diaz displayed better performance in Triple-A last year with a 4.36 ERA and improved strikeout and walk rates, offering potential for contribution to the Mariners' pitching depth.
The Mariners have re-signed lefty Jhonathan Diaz to a minor league contract, as he aims to compete for a job or provide Triple-A depth.
Despite struggles in the majors, Diaz showed improved strikeout rates in Triple-A last season, indicating potential for better future performance.
Seattle didn't lean much on rotation depth in 2024 due to good health of their rotation, so Diaz provides a solid option in the upper minors.
Description of other options available to the Mariners, including Emerson Hancock and Blas Castano, highlights Diaz's more backup role in the upcoming season.
