Mariners Claim Right-Hander Domingo González, Assigning Him to Triple-A Tacoma

Seattle adds the right-hander for controllable depth in Triple-A Tacoma, betting that adjustments can curb his walk rate to restore his strikeout prowess.

Overview

  • The Mariners claimed González off waivers from the Braves on August 12, filling an open spot on their 40-man roster.
  • González, 25, has no MLB service time and retains all three of his minor-league option years.
  • His 2025 Triple-A numbers dipped to a 4.29 ERA with a 21.4% strikeout rate and an 11.5% walk rate over 42 innings.
  • Originally signed by Pittsburgh, he joined Atlanta via the 2022 minor-league Rule 5 draft and was added to the Braves’ 40-man roster after 2024.
  • Scouting reports highlight his low-arm-slot heater and sharp slider but flag inconsistent control and a modest velocity ceiling.
