Mariners Re-Sign Matt Bowman To Minor League Deal

By Darragh McDonald | June 17, 2024 at 1:20pm CDT

The Mariners and right-hander Matt Bowman have reunited on another minor league pact. The righty elected free agency a few days back but has now joined the Tacoma Rainiers, tossing a scoreless inning for them yesterday.

Bowman, 33, has been bouncing around the league this year. He started with the Twins on a minor league deal and was added to that club’s roster in mid-April. After just over two weeks with the Twins, he was designated for assignment and sent to the Diamondbacks in a cash deal. After about three weeks as a Snake, he was designated for assignment again, that time clearing waivers and electing free agency. He then landed a minor league deal with the Mariners and was selected to their roster shortly thereafter. But just a few days after that, he was designated for assignment yet again and eventually elected free agency once more.

Around all those transactions, Bowman has thrown 15 major league innings for three different clubs with a 5.40 earned run average. His 15.2% strikeout rate and 10.6% walk rate are both subpar but he’s kept the ball on the ground at a solid 46.8% clip.

Injuries kept Bowman from pitching during the 2020-22 seasons, with recovery from Tommy John surgery making up a big chunk of that absence. He returned last year and has been able to put up decent results in Triple-A. He tossed 58 2/3 innings at that level while in the Yankees’ system last year and has tossed nine more Triple-A innings this year. Putting those stints together, he has a 3.46 ERA, lots of ground balls and a 23.5% strikeout rate, though with his 11.1% walk rate a tad on the high side.

That has gotten him limited looks in the majors, both last year and this year. However, he exhausted his final option season with the Yankees in 2023, which is why he’s been in DFA limbo so often this season.

The Mariners have four relievers on the injured list, with Gregory Santos, Matt Brash, Jackson Kowar and Gabe Speier all on the shelf. Brash and Kowar both had Tommy John surgery earlier this year and are done for the season. The M’s also have just 38 players on their 40-man roster right now and could easily call upon Bowman again whenever the relief corps is taxed and they need a fresh arm.
