The Seattle Mariners acquired right-handed reliever JT Chargois on Tuesday in exchange for minor league right-hander Will Schomberg.

Chargois, 33, began the season on the injured list with neck spasms before returning to the Miami roster on June 12. He is 1-0 with a 1.62 ERA, seven walks, and 12 strikeouts in 16 2/3 innings over 15 relief appearances.

In parts of seven seasons for the Minnesota Twins (2016), Los Angeles Dodgers (2018-19), Mariners (2021), Tampa Bay Rays (2021-22) and Marlins, Chargois is 14-6 with one save, a 3.40 ERA, 82 walks and 202 strikeouts in 211 2/3 innings over 223 games (eight starts).

Chargois pitched in four playoff games for the Rays in 2021 and in one playoff game for the Marlins in 2023, and he did not allow a run with four hits in four innings.

Schomberg, 23, is a combined 7-2 with a 2.83 ERA, 46 walks and 116 strikeouts in 92 1/3 innings over 19 starts at the Mariners' Class-A and High-A affiliates.
