Out with hyperextended knee The Mariners placed Saucedo on the 15-day injured list Wednesday with a hyperextended right knee.

Impact Saucedo suffered the injury during Tuesday's game against the Twins while running to cover first base. It would appear he has avoided a serious injury, but it's not clear how long the reliever might be on the shelf.

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.

Impact 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.

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.

Impact 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.

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.

Impact 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.

AUGUST 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

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.

Impact 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 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 both Andres Munoz, Paul Sewald and Gabe Speier having already been deployed earlier in the game.

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.

Impact 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.

Recalled from Tacoma Seattle recalled Saucedo from Triple-A Tacoma on Tuesday.

Impact Saucedo gives the Mariners a fresh arm in the bullpen to replace Darren McCaughan with McCaughan heading to Tacoma in a corresponding move. Acquired from the Mets via waivers in the offseason, Saucedo will have a chance to make his debut with the Mariners if he makes an appearance.

APRIL 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Moves to Triple-A Saucedo was optioned to Triple-A Tacoma on Sunday.

Impact 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.

Claimed off waivers Saucedo was claimed off waivers by the Mariners on Tuesday.

Impact 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.

JANUARY 31, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Booted from 40-man roster Saucedo was designated for assignment by the Mets on Tuesday, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.

Impact 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.

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

Impact 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 Lose Tayler Saucedo On Waivers The Jays lost Saucedo to the Mets ahead of the Rule 5 Draft protection deadline.

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

Impact 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.

JUNE 29, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

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.

Impact 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.

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.

Impact 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.

JUNE 13, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

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

Impact 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.

MAY 31, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

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

Impact 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.

MAY 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

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.

Impact 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.

MAY 2, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

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

Impact Saucedo was removed from Friday's game against the Astros due to right hip discomfort, and he'll be sidelined for at least a week and a half. Bowden Francis was recalled to provide additional bullpen depth.

APRIL 30, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

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.

Impact 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.

APRIL 30, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Exits with hip discomfort Saucedo was removed from Friday's game against the Astros with right hip discomfort and is undergoing further evaluation.

Impact He came in to start the fifth inning and gave up a hit and a walk without retiring a batter before exiting with the injury. The 28-year-old lefty has given up four earned runs and three home runs in 2.2 innings this season.

Back in majors Saucedo was recalled from Triple-A Buffalo on Thursday, Mitch Bannon of SI.com reports.

Impact He'll take the bullpen spot of Anthony Kay, who was optioned in a corresponding move. Saucedo didn't last long in the majors earlier this season after allowing four earned runs on five hits and three home runs in 2.1 innings the first week of the year.

APRIL 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Optioned to Buffalo Saucedo was optioned to Triple-A Buffalo on Monday.

Impact Saucedo made the Opening Day roster but will be sent down after allowing four runs on five hits (including three homers) in 2.1 innings of work. Anthony Kay will replace him as a left-handed option out of the bullpen.
