TransactionMariners optioned C Jhonny Pereda to Triple-A Tacoma.
Pereda probably deserves to stick around with the Mariners, but the club simply doesn’t have a spot for him with Cal Raleigh back from the injured list. The 30-year-old journeyman backstop has put together the best season of his career so far, hitting .270/.324/.365 with two homers in 68 plate appearances over 19 games.
