Mariners' Phillips Valdez: Claimed by Seattle

Valdez was claimed off waivers by the Mariners on Friday.

Valdez was designated for assignment by the Red Sox on Tuesday but will land a spot on Seattle's 40-man roster. He's posted a 4.41 ERA and 1.16 WHIP in 16.1 innings over 13 relief appearances in the majors this year but will report to Triple-A Tacoma for now.
