Austin Kitchen Designated For Assignment
According to Ryan Divish of the Seattle Times, the Seattle Mariners designated left-handed pitcher Austin Kitchen for assignment. This transaction opened a roster spot for infielder Donovan Solano, who signed a one-year deal with Seattle earlier on Monday. Kitchen made his major league debut in Miami last summer. The 27-year-old logged seven innings and allowed 11 runs and 16 hits while striking out four batters. He was later claimed by Seattle during the second half of the season but did not make a major league appearance for them. Across 45 career innings at the Triple-A level, the southpaw held a 5.40 ERA and a 1.38 WHIP. He struck out 27 batters while serving up 14 free passes. Kitchen will likely spend most of the 2025 season at the Triple-A level, given his struggles in the major leagues last season.
