With Mitch Haniger expected to miss all of spring training and possibly the first weeks of the 2020, the Mariners added to their outfield depth on the 40-man roster, Monday, claiming outfielder Jose Siri off waivers from the Cincinnati Reds.
To make room for Siri on the full 40-man roster, reliever Matt Festa was designated for assignment. Seattle now has seven days to trade, release or outright Festa to the minor leagues if he clears waivers.
Siri, 24, was designated for assignment by Cincinnati on January 27 after outfielder Nick Castellanos signed four-year contract with the Reds.
