The team announced last week that Kowar, 27, was meeting with doctors on Friday after experiencing soreness in his throwing arm.
The Mariners obtained Kowar and minor league right-hander Cole Phillips from the Atlanta Braves in a Dec. 3 trade for outfielder Jarred Kelenic, left-hander Marco Gonzalez and first baseman Evan White.
The Braves acquired Kowar from the Kansas City Royals less than a month earlier, on Nov. 17, for right-hander Kyle Wright.
The Royals selected Kowar in the first round, 33rd overall, in the 2018 MLB Draft out of Florida. Kowar was 2-6 with a 9.12 ERA, 75 strikeouts and 51 walks in 74 innings over 39 games (eight starts) from 2021-23.
