Mariners Cut 6-Year MLB Pitcher to Make Room for Kade Anderson
Kade Anderson is set to become the first player from his 2025 draft class to reach the majors after a 1.06 ERA in Double-A.
- On Saturday, the Seattle Mariners promoted top pitching prospect Kade Anderson to make his MLB debut against the Chicago Cubs at T-Mobile Park, selecting his contract from Double-A Arkansas.
- The promotion follows the decision to scratch right-hander Bryan Woo from Saturday's start due to shoulder soreness. Manager Dan Wilson confirmed Anderson will join the rotation after Woo left his last outing with 75 pitches.
- Dominating at Double-A Arkansas, Anderson struck out 135 batters across 93 1/3 innings with a 1.06 ERA. His 40.5% strikeout rate led the minor leagues, establishing him as one of the most anticipated prospects in franchise history.
- To accommodate the roster move, the Mariners designated left-hander Jhonathan Diaz for assignment. Seattle has five days to either outright the 29-year-old to the minors or release him, marking his third DFA since 2025.
- Anderson's arrival aims to spark a late-season surge for a Mariners team entering Saturday 5-9 over 14 games with a 33.3% postseason chance. The promotion offers critical depth as Seattle trails in the AL West race.
