Mariners claimed RHP Troy Watson off waivers from Tigers.

He’ll head to Triple-A Tacoma. The 29-year-old Watson, an experienced swingman, has never pitched in the majors. The Tigers added him to their 40-man last month in order to prevent him from leaving the organization, but they kept him in Triple-A afterwards and DFA’d him earlier this week. He had a 3.27 ERA and a 38/18 K/BB in 55 innings over eight starts and nine relief appearances for Triple-A Toledo.
