Ariel Miranda News
Seattle Mariners southpaw Ariel Miranda has been released Thursday. This move was made so the pitcher can pursue an opportunity to pitch in Japan. He made one spot start with the big league team in 2018 and pitched fairly well, but he ultimately never stuck in the rotation. Miranda was 5-0 with a 3.97 ERA at Triple-A Tacoma. The 29-year-old will try his luck overseas.
Seattle Mariners starter Ariel Miranda has been optioned to Triple-A to make room for outfielder Ben Gamel's return, per MLB.com. It seems now Miranda was called up strictly to start on Tuesday, throwing five innings of one-run baseball in the Mariners 4-1 loss to the Astros. Despite the solid start, Miranda is currently the odd man out in the Seattle starting rotation despite winning 13 games last season. He struggled mightily to finish 2017, posting a 6.14 ERA in the second half and finished the season with 37 home runs allowed. Miranda will go back to the minors but will be the first man up if the major league rotation suffers an injury in the near future.
Houston Astros outfielder George Springer is beginning to show signs of coming out of his early-season slump. Springer is 6-for-15 over his last four games with three solo home runs. Springer will have an excellent chance to add to that total Tuesday night against Mariners left-hander Ariel Miranda. Miranda is being called up from the minors to make the spot start and allowed 37 home runs last season. In his career, Springer has enjoyed success against Miranda, smacking four home runs in only 15 at-bats against him. The Astros leadoff man has an excellent chance to hit the ball hard somewhere Tuesday night and it would not surprise anyone if he took Miranda yard one more time. Springer is a great play in daily leagues and is a must-start in all other formats for Tuesday.
