PAUL SEWALD NEWS

Blows save, takes loss Sewald (0-1) allowed three runs on three hits in one inning during Friday's 8-7 loss to the Rays. He struck out one and was charged with a blown save and a loss.

Impact Sewald was tasked with preserving a one-run lead in the ninth inning but he coughed up a one-out, three-run blast to Manuel Margot. He had thrown six perfect innings with eight strikeouts to begin the year but he saw his ERA jump to 3.86 after Friday's outing. It was Sewald's first save chance of the season and his performance likely won't earn him many more opportunities in the near future.

Strikes out side Thursday Sewald struck out the side in a perfect ninth inning during Thursday's loss to the Rays.

Impact Sewald was making only his second appearance since being activated from the COVID-19 IL on April 27, and he was as dominant as he'd been in his first five trips to the mound this season. The right-hander hasn't so much as given up a hit or a walk over six innings thus far in 2022, recording eight strikeouts and one hold along the way.

Activated from COVID-19 IL Sewald (illness) was activated from the COVID-19 injured list Wednesday.

Impact Sewald spent a week away from the Mariners while on the COVID-19 IL, but he'll be available out of the bullpen during Wednesday's game in Tampa Bay. Now that he's back with the team, the right-hander should be part of Seattle's late-inning mix once again.

Impact Sewald's ability to rejoin the team suggests he's no longer experiencing symptoms of the virus, but acting manager Kristopher Negron said the reliever will just be "going through the motions" Tuesday while he works to regain conditioning after a six-day layoff. Negron left the door open for Sewald to play Wednesday, depending on how he feels physically one day after resuming baseball activity.

Lands on COVID-19 IL Sewald (undisclosed) was placed on the COVID-19 injured list, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

Impact Sewald delivered a scoreless inning Tuesday against the Rangers but will now be unavailable until further notice. It's unclear if the 31-year-old tested positive for the virus, but he'll be away from the team until he clears the COVID-19 protocols. Drew Steckenrider and Diego Castillo should continue to split save chances for the Mariners in the meantime.

Grabs first hold Sewald was credited with his first hold in a win over the Twins on Friday, firing a perfect eighth inning.

Impact Sewald made quick work of the Twins in a 13-pitch eighth inning that saw him impressively dispose of the potent trio of Byron Buxton, Carlos Correa and Jorge Polanco. The veteran right-hander put together a diverse resume in 2021 that included 11 saves and 16 holds, and he could have a similarly fluid high-leverage role this season.

No need for arbitration Sewald and the Mariners avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $1.735 million deal Tuesday, Kiley McDaniel of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Sewald broke out in his age-31 season last year, striking out 39.4 percent of opposing batters while posting a 3.06 ERA. Seattle's closer committee, a setup they intend to stick with this season, meant he only picked up 11 saves despite that dominance, which lessened the amount of money he would have received in arbitration.
