The Mariners announced that they have claimed outfielder Jacob Hurtubise off waivers from the Reds. The latter club designated him for assignment a few days ago. The M’s already had a 40-man vacancy. They announced that Hurtubise will report to Triple-A Tacoma, so no corresponding active roster move will be required.
Hurtubise, 27, has seen brief big league work in each of the past two seasons with Cincinnati. He’s totaled 83 major league plate appearances and batted .167/.291/.212 in that tiny sample. He’s been far better in Triple-A, where his speed, plate discipline and hit-over-power approach have been evident in parts of three seasons. Hurtubise has amassed 502 plate appearances with the Reds’ Triple-A affiliate in Louisville, slashing .270/.416/.337 with just three homers but a 30-for-34 showing in stolen base attempts.
More to come.
