TOMMY MILONE NEWS

Outrighted to Triple-A The Mariners sent Milone outright to Triple-A Tacoma on Thursday.

Impact Milone was DFA'd last week to make room for the arrival of Isaiah Campbell, and he'll remain in the Mariners' organization after clearing waivers. The 36-year-old lefty was doing well in Seattle with a 2.00 ERA and 1.44 WHIP through nine innings. However, it's uncertain Milone appears in the big leagues again this season now that he doesn't hold a spot on the 40-man roster.

Designated for assignment Milone was designated for assignment by the Mariners on Thursday, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

Impact Milone has fared pretty well in a couple of spot starts this year, posting a 2.00 ERA across nine innings, but he'll lose his place on the Mariners' roster to make way for the arrival of relief prospect Isaiah Campbell.

Receives no support in loss Milone (0-1) allowed two runs (one earned) on four hits and four walks without recording a strikeout in 4.1 innings to take the loss Wednesday versus the Giants.

Impact Milone navigated a lot of traffic fairly well, but the Mariners' offense put up just seven hits in the 2-0 loss. The southpaw threw 81 pitches (49 strikes) in the start. Milone was filling in for Bryce Miller (finger) in the rotation. If Miller remains out after the All-Star break, Milone could draw another start.

Promoted ahead of start The Mariners selected Milone's contract from Triple-A Tacoma on Wednesday.

Impact Darren McCaughan was optioned to Tacoma to clear room on the 26-man active roster for Milone ahead of the veteran lefty's second start of the season with the big club Wednesday versus the Giants. Over 50.1 innings at Tacoma this season, Milone has pitched to a 4.47 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 46:18 K:BB. He'll look to parlay a strong showing Wednesday into a longer stay as the Mariners' No. 5 starter until Bryce Miller (finger) is ready to return from the 15-day injured list.

Draws starting nod for M's The Mariners will call up Milone from Triple-A Tacoma to start Wednesday's game in San Francisco, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

Impact Milone will be joining the Mariners for the second time this season, as he previously made a spot start April 14 versus the Rockies before being designated for assignment shortly thereafter. He cleared waivers and has remained in the organization as a depth arm at Tacoma, where he's compiled a 4.47 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 46:18 K:BB over 50.1 innings. The veteran southpaw will step in as the Mariners' temporary No. 5 starter after Bryce Miller (finger) recently joined Marco Gonzales (forearm) on the injured list, but whether Milone sticks around beyond Wednesday will likely hinge on how he fares versus the Giants.

Outrighted to Triple-A Milone cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Tacoma by the Mariners on Wednesday.

Impact Milone was solid in a spot start for the M's last weekend and will remain in the organization after passing through waivers unclaimed. He'll join Tacoma's rotation.

Designed for assignment Milone was designated for assignment by the Mariners on Saturday, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

Impact Milone was called up to make a spot start against the Rockies on Saturday after Marco Gonzales was placed on the paternity list, and he pitched well while allowing just a run over 4.2 innings of work. With Gonzales expected back and a full Seattle rotation, there's no room for him on the roster. if he goes unclaimed, Milone will likely report back to Triple-A Tacoma.

APRIL 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Executes in season debut Milone did not factor into the decision Friday, allowing one run on three hits and two walks over 4.2 innings against the Rockies. He struck out three.

Impact Milone delivered a quality outing after getting called up from Triple-A Tacoma the day before. The 36-year old was yanked after throwing just 82 pitches, but this was most likely an effort by Seattle's staff to ease him back into the big leagues. It remains to be seen what exactly the California native's role will be within the Mariners' pitching staff as the season rolls along.

Cut by Seattle The Mariners released Milone (neck) on Thursday.

Impact With the Mariners needing to clear room on the 40-man roster in the aftermath of last week's trade deadline, Milone became a casualty. The Mariners either viewed Milone as an inessential left-handed arm in the bullpen or weren't confident that he would make an expedient return from the cervical muscle strain that resulted in him landing on the injured list July 30. Milone covered 16.2 innings out of the Seattle bullpen this season and posted a 5.40 ERA and 1.20 WHIP.

To 15-day IL Milone was placed on the 15-day injured list Saturday with a cervical muscle strain, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

Impact He gave up four earned runs in one inning Friday and perhaps the neck issue was bothering him or was sustained during that appearance. Brennan Bernardino was brought up from Triple-A to take Milone's place in the bullpen.

JULY 30, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Works in long relief Sunday Milone logged 2.1 innings out of the bullpen in a loss to the Astros on Sunday, allowing two earned runs on a hit and three walks while recording a strikeout.

Impact The veteran left-hander had recently been moved back to the bullpen, and Sunday's uneven performance may have partly been the result of Milone last having pitched July 13. The 35-year-old is likely to continue primarily seeing multi-inning relief assignments, which could certainly set him up to qualify for the occasional decision or hold.

Headed back to bullpen Milone is expected to work out of the bullpen to begin the Mariners' second-half schedule, as Seattle intends to call up George Kirby from Triple-A Tacoma to take the hill when a f...

Impact The veteran lefty had already made his last appearance before the All-Star break out of the bullpen, though he had been deployed as the primary pitcher behind an opener in a July 13 doubleheader matchup with the Nationals. Milone will now serve in a more traditional relief role following the break, with most of his opportunities likely to come in mop-up situations.

JULY 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Working behind opener Milone will pitch behind opener Erik Swanson during the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Nationals, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

Impact Milone was initially listed as Seattle's scheduled starter for Wednesday's nightcap, but he'll instead serve as a bulk reliever. The southpaw has posted a 3.60 ERA and 0.70 WHIP in 10 innings over four appearances for the Mariners this year.

Winker homers, Mariners sweep Nats for 10th straight win

Jesse Winker hit his second solo homer of the day and the Seattle Mariners won their 10th straight game, edging the Washington Nationals 2-1 to sweep a doubleheader

JULY 13, 2022 • Associated Press

Getting start in doubleheader game The Mariners list Milone as their scheduled starting pitcher for the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader with the Nationals.

Impact Milone might have been a candidate to work behind an opener Wednesday, but with Tuesday's postponement creating a doubleheader, the Mariners seem content to deploy the lefty as a traditional starter. The 35-year-old southpaw hasn't covered more than four frames in any of his four appearances for Seattle this season, but he should be fairly stretched out after tossing six shutout innings in his final outing at Triple-A Tacoma on June 14 prior to joining the big club.

JULY 13, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Should pitch Wednesday Milone is expected to start or follow an opener Wednesday against the Nationals, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

Impact The veteran left-hander has totaled 10 frames over four appearances since having his contract selected by Seattle in mid-June, so he's unlikely to have a chance at a win if he starts Wednesday's contest. Milone has a 3.60 ERA, 0.70 WHIP and 4:0 K:BB this season.

JULY 10, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Multi-inning relief stint Wednesday Milone fired two scoreless innings in a win over the Athletics on Wednesday, allowing one hit.

Impact Milone mopped up in the Mariners' blowout win, getting his six outs on an efficient 27 pitches. The veteran southpaw has been highly effective over two appearances with the big-league club after fashioning a 1.13 ERA and 0.84 WHIP in seven starts with Triple-A Tacoma, as he's allowed just one run on three hits over six innings in his first pair of outings in Seattle.

Tough-luck loser Milone (0-1) took the loss during Saturday's 3-0 defeat at the hands of the Angels in Game 2 of Saturday's doubleheader, allowing one run on two hits with two strikeouts in four in...

Impact Making his first start in over a year, Milone followed opener Penn Murfee and shut down a potent Angels offense aside from a Mike Trout solo shot in the third inning that ended up doing the 35-year-old in. The lefty navigated four successful innings on just 56 pitches and retired every batter except Trout. Milone will likely return to the minors, though the solid outing could lead to additional future opportunities.

JUNE 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Contract selected ahead of nightcap Milone's contract was selected from Triple-A Tacoma ahead of Game 2 of Saturday's doubleheader against the Angels.

Impact Milone has gone five-plus innings in each of his last five starts for Triple-A Tacoma, logging a 1.00 ERA, 0.81 WHIP and 22 strikeouts in 27 innings over that stretch. He is a candidate to work as the primary pitcher in the nightcap against the Angels, potentially following opener Penn Murfee, a righty.

JUNE 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Released by Blue Jays Milone (shoulder) passed through release waivers and became a free agent Thursday, Mike Wilner of the Toronto Star reports.

Impact Milone landed on the injured list in early May due to left shoulder inflammation, but he began a rehab assignment June 27. Across eight appearances (four starts) at Triple-A Buffalo, he recorded a 2.63 ERA and 1.06 WHIP in 13.2 innings. The Blue Jays don't have room for him on the active roster now that he's healthy, so he'll be free to seek out other opportunities.

Starts up rehab assignment Milone (shoulder) worked in an inning of relief in his first rehab appearance for Triple-A Buffalo on Sunday, surrendering two earned runs on one hit and three walks.

Impact Making his first appearance in a game setting since May 1, Milone was unsurprisingly rusty. He needed 34 pitches to record three outs and threw more balls (18) than strikes (16). Prior to landing on the 10-day injured list with left shoulder inflammation, Milone had been filling a relief role for the big club, but the Blue Jays could look to have him build up his innings count while he's out on the rehab assignment. Toronto's rotation depth has taken a hit in recent weeks with Nate Pearson getting shut down with a groin injury.
