Connor Joe - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Lifts homer in loss Joe went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in Friday's 7-6 loss to the Royals.

Impact Joe's homer was his first of the season. The 33-year-old has hit safely in his last four contests, going 4-for-11 in that span. He's filling a depth role for the Mariners with the ability to cover first base and both corner outfield spots, though the bulk of his playing time will come against left-handed pitchers. Joe has added three RBI, two runs scored, a double and one stolen base over 17 plate appearances this season.

Logs steal in Sunday's win Joe went 1-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Rangers.

Impact This was just the third time Joe has played since the Mariners selected his contract April 8. He has primarily functioned as a bench option, but he was in the starting lineup Sunday to give Josh Naylor some rest. Joe has a 1:3 BB:K over nine plate appearances, and the steal was his first of the season. Moving forward, he's unlikely to see steady playing time, assuming he's even able to stay on the big-league roster.

Contract selected The Mariners selected Joe's contract from Triple-A Tacoma on Wednesday.

Impact He'll assume the roster spot vacated by Victor Robles (pectoral), who landed on the 10-day injured list. The right-handed-hitting Joe has a solid .247/.344/.401 career batting line versus left-handed pitching and should see some playing time versus southpaws with the Mariners.

Sent to minor-league camp Joe was reassigned to minor-league camp Sunday.

Impact Joe joined the Mariners at spring training as a non-roster invitee after signing a minor-league contract with the team in February. The 33-year-old produced an impressive .362 average with a home run, six RBI and nine runs scored over 47 at-bats over 19 contests. Joe definitely showed that he still has some life left in his bat after a disappointing 2025 campaign, and he's now on track to begin the year with Triple-A Tacoma.

MARCH 22 • ROTOWIRE

Links up with Seattle Joe agreed to a minor-league contract with the Mariners on Tuesday that includes an invite to big-league spring training.

Impact Joe split last season between San Diego and Cincinnati, posting a .186/.262/.243 slash line in 42 games before being outrighted off the Reds' 40-man roster in August. The 33-year-old offers some defensive versatility but is likely a longshot to make Seattle's Opening Day roster.

FEBRUARY 10 • ROTOWIRE

Pushed off 40-man roster The Reds outrighted Joe to Triple-A Louisville on Sunday.

Impact Joe had been demoted to Triple-A on Aug. 2, when the Reds cleared room on the active roster for trade-deadline pickup Miguel Andujar. Since that date, Joe had slashed a lowly .200/.344/.300 over 17 games with Louisville, which likely took him out of consideration for a September call-up. He's now lost his spot on the 40-man roster and will have the ability to elect free agency.

AUGUST 31, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Sent down to Triple-A The Reds optioned Joe to Triple-A Louisville following Friday's game against Atlanta.

Impact The move makes room on the 26-man roster for Miguel Andujar, who was acquired by the Reds from the Athletics on Thursday. Joe has appeared in 35 games for the Reds since being traded by the Padres in early May and has slashed .213/.286/.279 with two steals and four RBI in 70 plate appearances. He should have an everyday role in the outfield in Triple-A.

AUGUST 2, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Back from 10-day injured list The Reds activated Joe (illness) from the 10-day injured list Monday.

Impact Joe was shelved for nearly two weeks while dealing with a bout of hand, foot and mouth disease. He's ready to go after a brief rehab assignment and should resume his role as a short-side platoon bat.

JUNE 25, 2025 • MLB.COM

On IL with illness The Reds placed Joe on the 10-day injured list Wednesday due to hand, foot and mouth disease.

Impact The right-handed-hitting Joe had played fairly consistently against left-handed pitching since getting called up from Triple-A Louisville on May 10, so his bout with the illness helps explain why he was left out of the lineup against southpaw Carlos Rodon during Tuesday's 5-4 win. Joe's IL placement is retroactive to Sunday, but it's not clear if he'll be fully recovered from the ailment when he's first eligible to return July 2.
