Mariners signed LHP Hoby Milner to a minor league contract; selected his contract from Triple-A Tacoma.

Why like this? The Mariners only just now announced the Milner signing, but if they say it actually happened last night, that makes him postseason eligible, which he wouldn’t be if he only joined the organization today. Milner had a 3.53 ERA in 38 appearances for the Cubs before going on the IL with appendicitis on June 27. He returned to the mound on July 29, but the Cubs never activated him from his rehab assignment before letting him go on Friday.
