Lands minor-league deal Stout signed a minor-league contract with the Mariners on Thursday.

Impact Stout had just been released from his minor-league deal with the Cubs, although he had yet to make an appearance this season. He posted a 5.64 ERA over 20 appearances in the majors in 2022 and will give Seattle some left-handed relief depth in the minors.

Released by Chicago Stout was released by the Cubs on Thursday, Tommy Birch of the Des Moines Register reports.

Impact Stout pitched 22.1 innings in the majors last season, logging a 5.64 ERA and 1.84 ERA in the process. He had much more success in Triple-A (2.95 ERA, 1.36 WHIP, 42.2 IP) but has yet to make an appearance in 2023. His release allows room for Javier Assad to join Triple-A Iowa's roster after Assad was optioned down Monday.

Sidelined with back injury Stout was placed on the 15-day injured list with lower back discomfort Thursday, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports.

Impact Stout was hit hard during Wednesday's relief appearance against the Yankees, allowing four runs on three hits and a walk while striking out one in one inning. It's possible that the southpaw's back injury contributed to his struggles, and he'll be forced to miss the remainder of the year after landing on the IL. Over 20 relief appearances between the Cubs and Pirates this year, Stout posted a 5.64 ERA and 1.84 WHIP in 22.1 innings.

Notches one-out save Stout earned a save against the Diamondbacks on Wednesday by retiring the only batter he faced.

Impact Will Crowe came on in the eighth frame and looked like he could be in line for a two-inning save, but he loaded the bases in the ninth and was yanked after allowing a run. Stout came on with the tying run at first base and got Jordan Luplow to fly out to end the threat. Stout has three saves in the minors this season, but he isn't likely to see extensive ninth-inning work down the stretch. Wednesday's save was his first as a major-leaguer.
