Mariners Claim Travis Blankenhorn

By Mark Polishuk | May 24, 2021 at 2:07pm CDT

The Mariners claimed infielder Travis Blankenhorn off waivers from the Dodgers, as per a team press release.  Blankenhorn has been assigned to Triple-A.

This is the second time this month that Blankenhorn has changed teams on the waiver wire, as he was previously designated for assignment by the Twins and then claimed by the Dodgers.  Blankenhorn’s time in the Dodgers organization consisted of just three games at Triple-A Oklahoma City before Los Angeles also DFA’ed him on Friday.

A third-round pick for Minnesota in the 2015 draft, Blankenhorn has hit .256/.324/.429 over 1955 career plate appearances in the minors, mostly playing second and third base but also seeing some time at first base, shortstop, and in left field.  Only six of Blankenhorn’s 468 minor league games have come at the Triple-A level.  He also has two MLB appearances on his resume, appearing in exactly one game with the Twins in both 2020 and 2021.

    He will be DFA’d within a week. This is just a move to get him in the organization

    Seems like Depoto is claiming any warm body with a pulse; especially if they can play 2nd base.

      I mean, they’re at the third option for 2B right now.. That IL situation is ugly.

      If the Mariners were just claiming bodies with a pulse, they would have to change their name to the Pirates.

    Lol him getting waived without even playing a game for the dodgers… all those foolish comments when the twins waived him like he was actually good. Decent AAA depth and nothing more.

    He might actually get some playing time in Seattle though
