Criswell Returns to Mariners Bullpen | MLB News

The Mariners welcome back pitcher Cooper Criswell from the 60-day IL, replacing Nick Davila on the 15-day IL with a shoulder injury. To make room, Colt Emerson is headed to the 60-day list ahead of wrist surgery — a move expected since he’ll miss the rest of the season. Criswell, 30, joined Seattle this offseason after stints with the Red Sox and Mets, mostly pitching relief early on. In 26 games, he logged 32⅓ innings with a 3.52 ERA, striking out fewer but walking few and dominating with ground balls. Now healthy, he’s ready to bolster the bullpen for the final stretch. Out of options, he can’t be sent down without waivers, but his strong performance makes him a valuable asset — and he’s on track to become arbitration-eligible as a “Super Two,” potentially locking him into four more seasons with Seattle.
