The Seattle Mariners claimed outfielder Leody Taveras off waivers from the American League West rival Texas Rangers on Tuesday.
The Mariners also reinstated utility player Dylan Moore from the 10-day injured list, optioned utility player Samad Taylor to Triple-A Tacoma and designated right-hander Luis F. Castillo for assignment.
Taveras, 26, spent the first six years of his major league career with Texas and started all five games of the Rangers' 2023 World Series win over Arizona in center field. But the Rangers placed Taveras on outright waivers after Sunday's game against the Mariners.
