The Mariners have outrighted hurler Jimmy Yacabonis to their alternate training site, according to a team announcement. They previously designated the right-hander for assignment Tuesday.
Yacabonis, whom the Mariners acquired from the Padres for cash just under a month ago, threw 2 1/3 innings with the M’s before they ejected him from their roster. The 28-year-old yielded one earned run on two hits and three walks (one strikeout) during that span.
Seattle is the second major league team for which Yacabonis has pitched. He appeared in the bigs with the Orioles in each season from 2017-19 and combined for 81 innings with the O’s in the previous two years. In all, Yacabonis has logged a 5.71 ERA/6.05 FIP with 6.49 K/9 and 5.11 BB/9 in 104 innings.
Maybe they want him to get some reps at 1B.
Hard to imagine he would hit worse than Evan White. Other than that hot streak, White has looked completely over-matched in his first taste of MLB pitching.
Gave up one run and got “ejected” from the roster.
Kyle Lewis went way above the wall to prevent that from being 5 ER in 2 1/3 innings
He isn’t very good.
