The Seattle Mariners have announced that Rob Refsnyder will be placed on the paternity list due to the birth of his third child. In a strategic move to enhance their right-handed hitting options, the team has selected Patrick Wisdom from Tacoma. Wisdom, 34, is currently leading Minor League Baseball with nine home runs this season. Although he is a powerful hitter, he has limitations defensively, being restricted to first base, which is currently occupied by Josh Naylor. This decision comes amid Refsnyder's struggles, as he has not recorded a hit in his first eight games this season. To accommodate Wisdom on the 40-man roster, the Mariners designated right-handed pitcher Blas Castaño for assignment. Castaño has been with the Mariners since 2024 and boasts a strong ERA of 1.42, but may return to Tacoma unless another team claims him.
