Recalled by Mariners Grotz was recalled from the Mariners' alternate training site Friday.

Impact Grotz was sent down by the Mariners earlier Friday, but he'll return to the major-league bullpen after Matt Magill (shoulder) was placed on the 10-day injured list. The right-hander has made four appearances for the Mariners this season, allowing eight runs over six innings.

Optioned to alternate camp Grotz was optioned to the Mariners' alternate training site Tuesday.

Impact Grotz struggled out of the bullpen in three of his first four appearances this season, and the team will elect to continue his development at the alternate training site for now. Over six innings in 2020, the 27-year-old posted a 12.00 ERA and 2.50 WHIP. Right-hander Joey Gerber and lefty Taylor Guilbeau were added to the active roster to take Grotz's place.

Impact The 30-year-old was not called on in the first two games of the season, but manager Scott Servais summoned him early with starter Yusei Kikuchi not making it out of the fourth inning and Zac Grotz only utilized to get the last out of that frame. Magill impressively rang up swinging strikeouts of Michael Brantley and Alex Bregman to open his outing before yielding a single and walk to Yuli Gurriel and Carlos Correa, respectively. Despite his mid-game usage Sunday, Magill could conceivably still see time in high-leverage scenarios while Yoshihisa Hirano (illness) remains out of action.
