González

González was competing for a bullpen role and allowed one run on two hits in four innings while striking out four. He also posted a 4.47 ERA in 42 innings at Triple-A last season, so the Mariners will likely give him some more time at that level.

The Braves added González, 25, to the 40-man last winter after an encouraging 2024, but they never gave him a shot in the majors before DFAing him on Sunday. A fastball-slider pitcher, González averages around 94 mph with his heater. He had a 4.29 ERA and a 39/21 K/BB in 42 innings for Triple-A Gwinnett.

Gonzalez loses his spot on Atlanta’s 40-man roster to make room after reliever Connor Seabold was claimed off waivers from the Rays. The 25-year-old has yet to ascend to the big leagues and holds a lackluster 4.39 ERA across 42 innings (35 appearances) this season for Triple-A Gwinnett.

Gonzalez was added to the 40-man roster to protect him from the Rule 5 draft in November, but the right-hander was never likely to break camp with Atlanta. He could help the bullpen at some point this summer.

Gonzalez, 25, gets a 40-man spot after striking out 83 and posting a 2.91 ERA in 52 2/3 innings as a reliever between Double- and Triple-A last season. He’ll likely open next season back in Triple-A, but he’ll get a look in spring training.
