The Seattle Mariners designated Dan Robertson for assigned on Friday afternoon. The 30-year-old outfielder was claimed off waivers in November from the Los Angeles Angels. The M’s had to DFA Robertson to make room on their 40-man roster for Hisashi Iwakuma.
Originally selected by the San Diego Padres in the 33rd round of the 2008 draft, Robertson made his big league debut with the Texas Rangers in 2014. The Oregon State alum fared nicely in his debut campaign, posting a .271 batting average and swiping 6 bags over the course of 70 games.
