Mariners recall LHP Tayler Saucedo

The Seattle Mariners recalled left-handed pitcher Tayler Saucedo on Friday, while right-handed pitcher Carlos Vargas was placed on paternity leave.
It is the third trip to the big leagues for Saucedo this season, and his first since being optioned to Triple-A Tacoma on April 27.
On May 3 he was placed on the minor league injured list with a left lat strain and was out of action until July 1. In 10 relief appearances this season at Triple-A Tacoma, Saucedo is 1-0 with a 3.38 ERA, four walks and six strikeouts in eight innings of work, including two appearances since returning from the lat strain.
In four appearances with Seattle this season, he has a 9.82 ERA with three strikeouts in 3.2 innings. He posted a 3.49 ERA with 38 strikeouts in 38.2 innings across a career-best 53 outings last season.
Saucedo, 32, has 142 career relief appearances in the major leagues with a 4.22 career ERA across five seasons -- two with Toronto and the last three with the Mariners.
Vargas, 25, is 3-5 with a 3.43 ERA over 42 relief appearances (44.2 innings). He notched his first career win on April 11 against the Texas Rangers and also earned his first career save on May 6 against the Athletics.
His previous major league experience came in 2023 with 4.3 innings of work over five games with the Arizona Diamondbacks.
