  • Mariners' Tayler Saucedo: Enjoying excellent spring

    Saucedo has not allowed a run through five innings across five Cactus League appearances while surrendering four hits, hitting a batter and posting a 6:0 K:BB.

    Saucedo has pitched to some harmless contact but otherwise excelled, firing an inning apiece in his five turns out of the bullpen. The left-hander was a valuable part of the relief corps in his 2023 debut campaign in Seattle, pitching to a 3-2 record, 3.59 ERA and 1.34 WHIP across 52 appearances while also recording a save and three holds. Saucedo is projected to operate in a similar capacity in the coming season, with Daniel Kramer of MLB.com noting the 30-year-old southpaw could also see action in some higher-leverage spots in addition to his customary sixth- and seventh-inning "pivot" role.

  • Mariners' Tayler Saucedo: Efficient for first save Tuesday

    Saucedo recorded his first save in an extra-inning win over the Royals on Tuesday, firing a perfect 10th inning during which he didn't record a strikeout or issue a walk.

    With Justin Topa and Andres Munoz having worked the previous 2.2 innings and Matt Brash having pitched the previous two days, Saucedo was called on for a rare save opportunity. The 30-year-old southpaw was masterful while rising to the task, disposing of MJ Melendez, Freddy Fermin and Nelson Velazquez in extremely efficient fashion. Saucedo has now posted scoreless appearances in nine of his last 10 trips to the mound, a 10.1-inning stretch during which he's pitched to an 0.87 ERA and 0.87 WHIP while recording a win and two holds in addition to Tuesday's save.

  • Mariners' Tayler Saucedo: Impressive in Sunday's win

    Saucedo (3-1) got the extra-inning win against the Angels on Sunday, firing two perfect innings during which he recorded three strikeouts.

    With both Andres Munoz and Matt Brash unavailable due to recent usage, manager Scott Servais entrusted Saucedo with preserving a 2-2 tie. The left-hander could hardly have been more effective, firing 18 of his 25 pitches for strikes and generating six swings and misses overall. Saucedo has been on an extended stretch of impressive pitching, as he last allowed a run back on July 18 and sports a 1-0 record, 0.61 ERA, Sunday's win and a pair of holds over the 14.2 innings covering his last 14 appearances.

  • Mariners' Tayler Saucedo: Takes first loss Saturday

    Saucedo (2-1) took the loss in extra innings against the White Sox on Saturday, allowing an unearned run on two hits over two-thirds of an inning.

    The southpaw appeared on his way to working his way out of the 11th inning following two quick outs, but consecutive singles by Andrew Benintendi and Zach Remillard snapped a 3-3 tie and gave the White Sox a one-run lead the Mariners wouldn't overcome. Saucedo does now have three straight appearances without allowing an earned run, but it's worth noting his usage in the high-leverage scenario was essentially the byproduct of Andres Munoz, Paul Sewald and Gabe Speier having already been deployed earlier in the game.

  • Mariners' Tayler Saucedo: Notches second win Sunday

    Saucedo (2-0) got the extra-inning win over the Pirates on Sunday, allowing a hit and a walk over a scoreless 10th inning while striking out the side.

    Saucedo was tasked with preserving a 3-3 tie and deftly worked around a Bryan Reynolds leadoff single by ringing up Connor Joe, Jack Suwinski and Ke'Bryan Hayes. The 29-year-old southpaw has been an effective bullpen option for manager Scott Servais, allowing just a single earned run across 11 innings over 12 appearances while producing an 11.5 K/9 and elite 19.9 percent swinging strike rate.

  • Mariners' Tayler Saucedo: Recalled from Tacoma

    Seattle recalled Saucedo from Triple-A Tacoma on Tuesday.

    Saucedo gives the Mariners a fresh arm in the bullpen to replace Darren McCaughan, who's heading to Tacoma in a corresponding move. Acquired from the Mets via waivers in the offseason, Saucedo will now have a chance to make his debut with the Mariners during his time with the big-league club.

  • Mariners' Tayler Saucedo: Moves to Triple-A

    Saucedo was optioned to Triple-A Tacoma on Sunday.

    Saucedo was claimed off waivers by the Mariners in January but won't crack the club's Opening Day roster. The 29-year-old made four big-league appearances for Toronto last season and spent most of the campaign at the Triple-A level, where he had a 2.37 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 28:10 K:BB across 19 innings.

  • Mariners' Tayler Saucedo: Claimed off waivers

    Saucedo was claimed off waivers by the Mariners on Tuesday.

    Saucedo had been designated for assignment by the Mets last week following the completion of a free-agent agreement with outfielder Tommy Pham. The 29-year-old left-hander allowed four earned runs in just 2.2 major-league innings last season with the Blue Jays, who cut him loose in November.

  • Mets' Tayler Saucedo: Booted from 40-man roster

    Saucedo was designated for assignment by the Mets on Tuesday, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.

    Saucedo will serve as the Mets' roster casualty after the team officially announced the signing of Tommy Pham on Tuesday. The 29-year-old reliever spent much of last season on the injured list, though he was able to post a 2.37 ERA and 1.26 WHIP in 19 Triple-A frames.

  • Mets' Tayler Saucedo: Joining Mets

    Saucedo (hip) was claimed off waivers by the Mets on Wednesday.

    Saucedo spent most of the 2022 season on the injured list due to a right hip injury but landed a role with the Mets now that the offseason is underway. It's not yet clear whether he'll be healthy for spring training in 2023.

  • Blue Jays' Tayler Saucedo: Resumes rehab assignment

    Saucedo (hip) resumed a rehab assignment at Triple-A Buffalo on Friday, Mitch Bannon of SI.com reports.

    Saucedo recently had his rehab assignment paused due to left shoulder fatigue, but he returned to action at Buffalo on Friday and struck out the side on 15 pitches. The southpaw has had rehab assignments paused twice since landing on the injured list in late April, so the Blue Jays will likely exercise caution before clearing him to rejoin the major-league club.

  • Blue Jays' Tayler Saucedo: Bullpen session on tap

    Saucedo (hip) is scheduled to throw a two-inning bullpen session at Triple-A Buffalo on Wednesday and could be cleared to resume his rehab assignment soon thereafter, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

    Saucedo recently had his rehab assignment paused for the second time since he landed on the injured list April 30, this time on account of left shoulder fatigue after he was initially deactivated due to right hip discomfort. At this stage, the shoulder is likely the greater concern for Saucedo, whose performance hasn't suffered at the Triple-A level despite the multiple stops and starts. Over 15 appearances for Buffalo spanning 14.2 innings, Saucedo owns an 0.61 ERA and 20:8 K:BB.

  • Blue Jays' Tayler Saucedo: Shifts to 60-day IL

    Saucedo (hip) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Wednesday.

    Saucedo has been on the injured list since April 30, and Wednesday's move is simply procedural to make room on the 40-man roster for Sergio Romo, who signed a one-year contract with the Blue Jays on Wednesday. Saucedo has been on a minor-league rehab assignment since mid-June and seems to be closing in on a return.

  • Blue Jays' Tayler Saucedo: Rehab shifts to Triple-A

    Saucedo (hip) moved his rehab assignment to Triple-A Buffalo on Saturday and tossed a scoreless frame in relief in his first appearance for the affiliate.

    Saucedo arrived in Buffalo over the weekend after striking out two in a scoreless inning for the Blue Jays' rookie-level Florida Complex League affiliate a few days earlier. He'll likely make another appearance or two at Triple-A before making his return from the 10-day injured list.

  • Blue Jays' Tayler Saucedo: Rehab assignment on tap

    Saucedo (hip) will begin a rehab assignment with the Blue Jays' Florida Coast League affiliate Tuesday, Mitch Bannon of SI.com reports.

    Saucedo has been sidelined since late April due to a right hip injury but will return to game action in the minors this week. Given the length of the southpaw's absence, it seems likely that he'll require multiple rehab appearances prior to rejoining the major-league bullpen.

  • Blue Jays' Tayler Saucedo: Cleared for mound work

    Saucedo (hip) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session Wednesday, Mitch Bannon of SI.com reports.

    Saucedo has been on the 10-day injured list since April 30 due to right hip discomfort, so he'll likely need to complete a minor-league rehab assignment before the Blue Jays activate him. The southpaw is projected to fill a low-leverage role out of the bullpen whenever he's deemed fit to rejoin the Blue Jays.

  • Blue Jays' Tayler Saucedo: Resumes throwing program

    Saucedo (hip) was cleared to play catch Monday at the Blue Jays' spring training complex, Mitch Bannon of SI.com reports.

    The activity represents the start of a throwing program for Saucedo, who has been on the shelf since April 30 with right hip discomfort. As a reliever, Saucedo won't require as much time as a starter to complete his throwing program, though he's likely at least a week away from heading out on a minor-league rehab assignment.

  • Blue Jays' Tayler Saucedo: Sidelined for more than minimum

    Saucedo (hip) isn't expected to resume baseball activities for the next week or two, Kaitlyn McGrath of The Athletic reports.

    Saucedo landed on the 10-day injured list Saturday after he was removed from his relief appearance against the Astros a day earlier with right hip discomfort. Since he's not going to be able to resume baseball activities this week, Saucedo will end up spending more than the minimum amount of time on the shelf.

  • Blue Jays' Tayler Saucedo: Expected to require IL stint

    Saucedo (hip) will undergo an MRI on Saturday and is expected to require a trip to the injured list, Kaitlyn McGrath of The Athletic reports.

    Saucedo exited Friday's game against the Astros with right hip discomfort and will likely miss additional time. Assuming the southpaw is placed on the injured list, Bowden Francis is expected to rejoin Toronto's bullpen after being sent down Friday.

  • Blue Jays' Tayler Saucedo: Placed on 10-day IL

    Saucedo (hip) was placed on the 10-day injured list Saturday.
