SHINTARO FUJINAMI NEWS

Signed to NRI deal by Seattle The Mariners signed Fujinami to a minor-league contract Friday that includes an invitation to spring training, Jon Morosi of MLB Network reports.

Impact Fujinami dealt with a shoulder injury this past season and posted a 6.68 ERA and 38:33 K:BB over 32.1 innings during a stint with Triple-A Syracuse in the Mets organization. The 30-year-old struck out 83 in 79 frames between the Athletics and Orioles in 2023 but also walked 45 and held a 7.18 ERA.

Sent outright to Triple-A The Mets outrighted Fujinami to Triple-A Syracuse on Tuesday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Impact Fujinami is making $3.35 million in 2024, so it's not surprising that he passed through waivers unclaimed after being designated for assignment. He'll remain at Syracuse, where he holds an 10.95 ERA and 14:25 K:BB over 12.1 frames this season.

Designated for assignment The Mets activated Fujinami (shoulder) from the 60-day injured list and designated him for assignment.

Impact It looks like Fujinami's tenure with the Mets will end before it began. The reliever was sent down to the minors after a rough spring training and missed more than a month of action with a shoulder strain. Fujinami has been on a rehab assignment and appears healthy now, but the Mets have elected to move on rather than add him to the active roster.

Shifted to 60-day IL The Mets transferred Fujinami (shoulder) to the 60-day injured list Wednesday, Michael Mayer of MetsmerizedOnline.com reports.

Impact The move clears a spot on the 40-man roster for Joe Hudson, who had his contract selected Wednesday. Fujinami has been out all season with a right shoulder strain and is expected to remain out until after the All-Star break.

Steps away for personal matter Fujinami is flying back to Japan on Friday to attend to a family matter, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Impact The right-hander agreed to a one-year, $3.35 million deal with the Mets in early February, but he won't be with the team for the start of spring games due to the family issue. Fujinami is expected to be back with the club in plenty of time to be ready for Opening Day.
