Juan Then - Sent to Double-AThe Mariners optioned Then to Double-A Arkansas on Sunday.
ImpactThen is heading into his third season as a member of the Mariners' 40-man roster, but he doesn't appear especially close to making his MLB debut. The 23-year-old right-hander covered just 12 frames in the minors between Arkansas and the Mariners' rookie-level Arizona Complex League affiliate in 2022, making one-inning appearances in each of those outings.

Darren McCaughan - Sent to minors campThe Mariners reassigned McCaughan to Triple-A Tacoma on Sunday.
ImpactAfter making two appearances (one start) for Seattle in 2021, McCaughan spent the entire 2022 campaign at Triple-A Tacoma, where he logged a 4.55 ERA and 1.18 WHIP while striking out 141 batters over 154.1 innings. The 26-year-old right-hander is expected to continue serving as organizational starting pitching depth at Tacoma in 2023, and his lack of a 40-man roster spot likely won't make him the Mariners' first choice if a spot starter is needed at the big-league level.

Easton McGee - Dispatched to minorsThe Mariners optioned McGee to Triple-A Tacoma on Sunday.
ImpactMcGee was one of seven players Seattle sent out of big-league camp Sunday in the team's latest round of roster cuts. The 25-year-old right-hander is entering his first season in the Mariners organization after being acquired from the Red Sox in November. McGee, who received a cup of coffee in the majors with Tampa Bay in 2022, otherwise spent the entire 2022 campaign at Triple-A Durham, where he logged a 5.43 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 82:20 K:BB across 107.2 innings.

Pierce Johnson - Pitches SaturdayJohnson (knee) worked around a walk to pitch a scoreless seventh inning in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Mariners in Cactus League play.
ImpactJohnson was making his first Cactus League appearance in just under a week after experiencing right knee soreness following his previous outing. The knee issue didn't dramatically derail Johnson during his buildup program, so he looks like he'll be ready to go for the start of the regular season.

AJ Pollock - Exits lineup SundayPollock was removed from Sunday's Cactus League lineup against the Rangers.
ImpactThere's been no announcement of an injury to this point, so Pollock's removal from the starting nine may have nothing to do with his health. Barring an update from the team, the veteran outfielder should be expected to return to game action within a day or two.
