The Seattle Mariners selected the contract of left-handed pitcher Brandyn Garcia from Triple-A Tacoma on Monday and optioned right-hander Juan Burgos to Triple-A.
Garcia’s next appearance in a Mariners uniform will be his first. He was an 11th-round draft pick by Seattle in 2023.
He moved up from Double-A Arkansas to Tacoma earlier this season and is 1-0 with a stellar 2.16 ERA across 8 1/3 innings in eight bullpen appearances there. MLB Pipeline considers Garcia the Mariners’ top left-handed pitching prospect.
Burgos, 25, made his major league debut July 1 against the Kansas City Royals with two innings of relief in a 6-3 loss. In four games for the Mariners, he allowed three earned runs in 6 2/3 frames for a 4.05 ERA.
