The Mariners have picked the agreement of right-hander Jimmy Yacabonis from their alternate training website, the group announced. They optioned fellow righty Brady Lail in a matching relocation.
Yacabonis will now join a Mariners bullpen that, as Greg Johns of MLB.com mentions, might require some fresh arms at the minute. Their relief corps pitched many of Tuesdays loss to the Giants after Ljay Newsome entrusted to an injury following simply 1 2/3 innings of work.
Yacabonis previously signed a small league contract with the Padres last offseason, but he didnt wind up seeing any major league action as a member of the club. During that 101 2/3-inning period, Yacabonis pitched to a 5.75 ERA/6.01 FIP with 6.6 K/9 and 5.0 BB/9.
