Mariners Acquire Sammy Peralta from White Sox
The Seattle Mariners have claimed left-hander Sammy Peralta off waivers from the White Sox and assigned him to Triple-A Tacoma. Peralta, who made his major league debut last year, will provide bullpen depth for the Mariners, who are dealing with injuries to some of their pitchers. With two option years and less than a year of service time, Peralta could be a long-term asset for the club if he continues to perform well.
