Sauryn Lao Designated For Assignment By Seattle Mariners

Lao has appeared in just one game this season, pitching 1 2/3 innings with no earned runs and three strikeouts. His WHIP stands at 1.80, and he holds a K/9 rate of 16.20. During spring training, he participated in five games, maintaining a 0.00 ERA over 4 2/3 innings.

With this transaction, the Mariners might look to other relievers like Paul Sewald or Andrés Muñoz to fill the bullpen role. Lao did not play in the recent game against the Boston Red Sox on April 22. The Mariners' next game could see adjustments in the bullpen to cover for his absence.
