Mariners Recall Hoppe, DFA Legumina

0:00It's April 22nd, MLB News. Today starts now, AI-powered and game-ready. I'm Cory with the story. Seattle Mariners just shook up their roster by recalling right-hander Alex Hopp for his big lead debut and designating KC Lagumina for. Assignment to make room. Hoppy, a 27-year-old they grabbed from the Red Sox last November in a minor trade, has dominated at Triple A Tacoma with eight scoreless. Innings striking out 12 of 30 batters faced. Meanwhile, Lagumina's had a rough go since joining the Mariners from the Reds. He posted a 5.62 ERA over 49 innings last year. With walks piling up and velocity dipping across his pitches. The Mariners see Hoppy's upper 90s fastball and slider mix as worth testing of top, especially since he has options left and can shuttle back, down if needed. Lagumina now enters Waver Limbo for up to a week as Seattle Hunts trade options, but his out-of-option status keeps him in play for death if he clears.
