Mariners' Nick Rumbelow: Clears waivers
Rotowire
Rumbelow cleared waivers Wednesday and was outrighted to Triple-A Tacoma.
It's hardly surprising that Rumbelow's 9.19 Triple-A ERA wasn't appealing enough for another team to claim him off waivers. He'll remain in the Mariners organization but doesn't appear to be close to returning to the big leagues.

Mariners' Nick Rumbelow: Designated for assignment
Rotowire
Rumbelow was designated for assignment by the Mariners on Friday.
Rumbelow made three appearances for the Mariners back in March but was removed from the 25-man roster after allowing four runs while recording just four outs. Since then, he's allowed 16 earned runs in 15.2 frames for Triple-A Tacoma, leading to him being removed from the 40-man roster as well. Andrew Moore was claimed off waivers in a corresponding move.

Mariners' Nick Rumbelow: Optioned to Triple-A
Rotowire
Rumbelow was optioned to Triple-A Tacoma on Wednesday, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports.
Rumbelow has one save in his three appearances but has also allowed four runs in just 1.1 innings of work. As a mediocre reliever with options, he'll likely bounce between Seattle and Tacoma for much of the season. The move clears room on the 25-man roster for Connor Sadzeck, who was acquired in a trade with Texas on Monday.

Rotowire
Rumbelow was recalled from Double-A Arkansas on Tuesday.
The 27-year-old pitched 13.1 innings for the Mariners earlier in the season, recording a 6.75 ERA while allowing six homers. He'll be one of many low-leverage arms in the team's expanded September bullpen.

Mariners' Nick Rumbelow: Sent back to minors
Rotowire
Rumbelow was optioned to Double-A Arkansas on Tuesday, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.
Rumbelow made just one appearance during his most recent stint with the Mariners, allowing one run across three innings of relief against the Astros last week. He now owns an unremarkable 6.75 ERA across 13.1 big-league innings this season. The 26-year-old should be back in the majors when a fresh bullpen arm is needed.

Mariners' Nick Rumbelow: Recalled from minors
Rotowire
Rumbelow was called up from Triple-A Tacoma on Wednesday.
Rumbelow will shuttle back to the big-league level in order to give Seattle a fresh bullpen arm ahead of Wednesday's series finale versus the Astros. Across eight appearances this year, he's logged an unsightly 7.84 ERA and 1.65 WHIP in 10.1 innings of relief. He will be utilized in low-leverage spots while with the Mariners. In a corresponding move, Ross Detwiler was designated for assignment.

Mariners' Nick Rumbelow: Demoted to Triple-A
Rotowire
Rumbelow was optioned back to Triple-A Tacoma on Sunday.
Rumbelow spent just two days in the majors without making an appearance before being relegated back to the minors. He struggled to the tune of a 7.84 ERA in the majors this season, but he has a strong 2.25 ERA and a 20:6 K:BB in 12 minor-league innings this year. His demotion makes room for Erasmo Ramirez to return from the disabled list and start Sunday's contest.

Mariners' Nick Rumbelow: Shuttled to minors

The Mariners will replenish their bullpen after Rumbelow allowed four earned runs on four hits -- including two home runs -- and one hit batsman during Thursday's series finale against the Angels.

Mariners' Nick Rumbelow: Returns to big leagues
Rotowire
Rumbelow was recalled from Triple-A Tacoma on Tuesday.
Rumbelow will provide bullpen depth, perhaps only for a day or two. If the Mariners decide to dip into the farm system to replace Felix Hernandez (back) in the rotation this week, Rumbelow would be a logical choice to get the bump. He's given up nine hits -- including two home runs -- in his 7.1 innings with Seattle so far this season.

Mariners' Nick Rumbelow: Remains sidelined with neck issue
Rotowire
General manager Jerry Dipoto said Rumbelow is still sidelined with a nerve issue in his neck, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.
Rumbelow, who was optioned to Triple-A Tacoma earlier in the month, has been unable to pitch since Feb. 24 due to the issue. This rules him out as a possible bullpen replacement for David Phelps, who was recently diagnosed with a torn UCL.

Mariners' Nick Rumbelow: Optioned to minors
Rotowire
Rumbelow (neck, shoulder) was officially optioned to Triple-A Tacoma by the Mariners on Saturday.
Rumbelow was expected to push for an Opening Day roster spot in the Mariners bullpen, but has been held out with shoulder discomfort since Feb. 24 and more recently is also battling a neck issue. The 26-year-old tossed two-thirds of an inning in his lone appearance of spring training and has no clear timetable for his potential return.

Mariners' Nick Rumbelow: Plague by neck issue
Rotowire
Rumbelow is dealing with a neck issue in addition to shoulder discomfort, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports.
Rumbelow hasn't appeared in a spring game since Feb. 24 when he exited an outing against the White Sox with a cut on his right thumb. Although the thumb is no longer an issue, shoulder discomfort and neck problems are obviously not good signs as Opening Day looms right around the corner. The 26-year-old was expected to push for a spot on the Opening Day roster in a relief role, but those hopes are all but dashed unless he's able to make a speedy recovery and impress the organization within the next couple weeks.

Mariners' Nick Rumbelow: Leaves with cut on thumb
Rotowire
Rumbelow exited Saturday's game against the White Sox with a cut on his right thumb, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.
The 26-year-old reliever allowed three hits and an earned run in two-thirds of an inning. He is competing for a job in the Mariners bullpen after being dealt from the Yankees in November. The injury seems unlikely to have a major impact on his chances of earning a big-league job.

Mariners' Nick Rumbelow: Dished to Seattle
Rotowire
Rumbelow was traded to the Mariners in exchange for minor-league pitchers JP Sears and Juan Then, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.
Rumbelow, who was recently added to the Yankees' 40-man roster to protect him from the Rule 5 draft, spent all of last season in the minors after missing almost all of 2016 due to Tommy John surgery. The 26-year-old split time between Double-A Trenton and Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, posting a combined 1.12 ERA and 0.80 WHIP across 40.1 innings. He's looking to make it back to the majors for the first time since 2015 -- when he compiled a 4.02 ERA and 15 strikeouts in 15.2 innings with the Yankees -- and should have a clearer path in Seattle.

Rotowire
Rumbelow was added to the 40-man roster Monday, Brendan Kuty of NJ.com reports.
Rumbelow split the 2017 season between Double-A Trenton and Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. He threw 29 innings across 17 games with Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. Over said games he posted a shining 0.62 ERA and 0.83 WHIP. After missing almost the entire 2016 campaign due to Tommy John surgery, Rumbelow will aim to build upon his recent performance during the upcoming season and reappear in the majors for the first time since 2015.

Yankees' Nick Rumbelow: Pitches simulated game
Rotowire
Rumbelow (elbow) pitched in a simulated game Tuesday, the Associated Press reports.
Rumbelow went under the knife for Tommy John surgery last April, but having recently passed the 12-month mark, it appears as though he's gearing up for a return. The 25-year-old reliever spent 17 games with the Yankees in 2015, but even after the likely lengthy rehab stint he faces, Rumbelow figures to stay down in the minors once healthy. In his last stop there, the righty worked to a 4.27 ERA with 57 strikeouts in 52.2 innings at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.
