Mariners Claim Sean Doolittle Off Waivers
3 years agoThe Seattle Mariners claimed relief pitcher Sean Doolittle off waivers from the Cincinnati Reds on Thursday. The Mariners went on to designate fellow reliever Keynan Middleton in a corresponding move. The 34-year-old Doolittle struggled with the Reds this year before he was designated for assignment by the team last week. He appeared in 45 games with the Reds this year and posted a 4.46 ERA and a 1.51 WHIP. He's likely to work in a setup role for the Mariners, though he may also see some scattered save opportunities as the team continues to operate with a closer-by-committee approach.
