The Mariners announced that left-hander Jhonathan Díaz has been outrighted to Triple-A Tacoma, indicating that he cleared waivers. Díaz has the right to elect free agency but the Mariners did not indicate whether or not he would do so. Díaz, 29, has appeared in five big league seasons but with limited action in each one. He pitched 15 1/3 innings or less in each, bringing him to a combined total of 46 1/3 innings, with 4.66 earned runs allowed per nine. His minor league numbers aren’t bad, considering that he has been pitching in the hitter-friendly Pacific Coast League.
