The M’s acquired right-hander Carson Fulmer in a trade with the Pittsburgh Pirates, according to Pirates beat reporter Alex Stumpf. The return to Pittsburgh to acquire Fulmer was not reported.
The Mariners also announced that right-hander Cooper Criswell was placed on the 15-day injured list with a right shoulder strain. In a corresponding move, right-hander Nick Davila was recalled from Triple-A Tacoma.
Fulmer, 32, has spent this season in Triple-A, appearing in 16 games (two starts) for the Indianapolis Indians. He has a 6.35 ERA and 1.65 WHIP with 27 strikeouts to 15 walks over 34 innings.
Fulmer was not on Pittsburgh’s 40-man roster.
In 127 games, including 24 starts, over nine big league seasons with the Chicago White Sox, Detroit Tigers, Baltimore Orioles, Cincinnati Reds and Los Angeles Angels, Fulmer has a career 5.44 ERA over 256 2/3 innings pitched.
Fulmer last pitched in the majors with the Angels last season, posting a 5.83 ERA in 29 1/3 innings over 13 relief outings.
Criswell, 29, has been a reliable arm out of the bullpen in his first year with the Mariners, posting a 3.52 ERA in 30 2/3 innings over 26 appearances. However, the right-hander ran into trouble in back-to-back outings the past two days, surrendering two runs without recording an out on Sunday and one run over 1 1/3 innings on Monday.
Davila, 27, made the jump from Double-A to the majors earlier this season to make his major league debut with Seattle on May 3. In seven big league appearances, he’s pitched 7 1/3 scoreless innings, struck out four and walked six.
