Takes loss Friday Santiago (0-1) was handed the loss Friday against the Angels, allowing an earned run on two hits and a walk while recording five strikeouts over three innings.

Impact Manager Scott Servais leveraged Santiago's stretched-out arm for some valuable frames in what turned into a bullpen game for the Mariners when spot starter Robert Dugger was chased after just 2.1 innings. Santiago missed plenty of bats against his old Angels squad, but the fourth-inning solo home run he surrendered to Jose Rojas turned out to be the difference in the game.

Impact The veteran right-hander was called on for his Mariners debut after starter Marco Gonzales capped out at 50 pitches in his return from the injured list. Santiago needed a relatively efficient 48 pitches to record his eight outs, but he pitched to plenty of contact while allowing the Athletics to mount a successful comeback. Factoring in Santiago pitched to a bloated 6.68 ERA and 1.90 WHIP with the White Sox and Mets back in 2019 and was then deemed expendable by a team as talent-starved as the Tigers last summer, it's likely he's trusted with nothing more than multi-inning low-leverage scenarios during his time with the big-league club.

Contract selected by Mariners Santiago's contract was selected by the Mariners on Thursday, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

Impact Santiago began the season with Triple-A Tacoma and posted a 4.50 ERA and 1.07 WHIP in 14 innings across three starts. He's worked mainly as a reliever in the majors and should be a bullpen option after Yohan Ramirez and Wyatt Mills were optioned to Triple-A Tacoma as part of a corresponding move.
