The Mariners optioned Sheffield to Triple-A Tacoma on Sunday. Sheffield was returned to the minors one day after Seattle designated him as its 27th man for a doubleheader with the Angels. He appeared in the second game of Saturday's twin bill, striking out one and allowing one hit and no walks over two scoreless frames in relief.

Sheffield was recalled from Triple-A Tacoma to serve as the 27th man during Saturday's doubleheader against the Angels. Sheffield made four appearances out of the Mariners' bullpen in April and tossed 4.2 scoreless innings. However, he's been working as a starter in Tacoma, where he posted an 8.51 ERA and 1.75 WHIP in 30.2 innings over eight starts. The southpaw should be available to pitch multiple innings during Saturday's twin bill before presumably returning to the minors.

Sheffield started Triple-A Tacoma's loss to Sacramento on Sunday and allowed an earned run on four hits over five innings. He struck out six. A second-inning solo home run was the only real damage sustained by Sheffield, who's now pitched to a 3.00 ERA over nine innings across his last two starts. Those results represent a significant improvement from Sheffield's first two turns with the Rainiers following a May 1 demotion from the Mariners; he allowed nine earned runs on nine hits over 3.1 innings in that pair of starts after making four appearances out of the bullpen for Seattle in the first three weeks-plus of the season.

Sheffield was optioned to Triple-A Tacoma on Sunday, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports. Sheffield made four relief appearances for the Mariners during the first few weeks of the regular season, and he struck out two in 4.2 scoreless frames. However, he'll head to Tacoma, where he'll likely be part of the starting rotation.

Sheffield fired two scoreless innings in a loss to the Rays on Wednesday, allowing no hits and one walk. The left-hander continues to carry an unblemished ERA through four appearances, with manager Scott Servais affording him plenty of rest between outings. Sheffield, a one-time member of the rotation, worked his first multi-inning outing of the season Wednesday, and he'll likely be one of the primary candidates to log spot starts should any starting pitcher go down with injury.
