Mariners Claim Josh Wilson, DFA Quiroz

By Ben Nicholson-Smith [June 19, 2009 at 5:08pm CST]

For the second time today, a Padre has been claimed off waivers. This time, it's Josh Wilson going to the Mariners, according to Ryan Divish of the Tacoma News Tribune. The Mariners also designated catcher Guillermo Quiroz for assignment.

Wilson, a 28-year-old utility man, has already played for the Padres and D'Backs this year, spending most of his time on the left side of the infield. He actually pitched for both clubs, too and it wasn't his first time on a big league mound; his pitching debut came with Tampa Bay in 2007. At the plate, Wilson's only hitting .156 this year, with an OPS below .500.

Quiroz, a 27-year-old catcher, appeared in just four games for the Mariners after a promotion from Triple A.
