Drew Steckenrider Locks Down First Save Sunday
4 years agoSeattle Mariners relief pitcher Drew Steckenrider locked down his first save of the year Sunday, throwing a perfect ninth inning against the Minnesota Twins. He didn't strike out any batters. Steckenrider benefitted from Kendall Graveman's unavailability in this one, as Graveman had thrown in two consecutive games. Steckenrider is not expected to receive many more save opportunities going forward and is not a priority for fantasy rosters, though he has delivered a solid 2.59 ERA and 0.99 WHIP in 20 appearances.

Drew Steckenrider On Restricted List, Roenis Elias Called Up
3 years agoThe Seattle Mariners placed right-hander Drew Steckenrider on the restricted list on Monday and selected left-hander Roenis Elias' contract from Triple-A Tacoma in a corresponding move. The 31-year-old Steckenrider probably isn't vaccinated, so he won't make the trip for the team's series in Toronto this week. Steckenrider does have two saves in 13 innings pitched for the M's this year as part of a committee approach to the ninth inning, but he also has allowed seven earned runs and was pulled from a save situation on Sunday after allowing two runs. Diego Castillo, Paul Sewald and Andres Munoz could see save chances with Steckenrider out this week. Elias missed each of the last two seasons due to an elbow injury, and he could be sent right back to the minors when Steckenrider returns later this week.

Drew Steckenrider Notches First Save
3 years agoSeattle Mariners relief pitcher Drew Steckenrider notched his first save of the season on Friday against the Minnesota Twins. Paul Sewald came in and pitched the eighth inning before handing the ball over to Steckenrider. Sewald retired all the batters he faced before exiting the game. Steckenrider made things interesting by allowing a leadoff single, however he managed to protect the one-run lead and help the Mariners get the victory. It sounds like Steckenrider will be a valuable member of the Mariners bullpen this season.
