The major-league clubhouse at spring training is starting to empty out, while the Tacoma Rainiers Opening Day roster is becoming clearer. Today the Mariners optioned the following players to Triple-A:
- OF Dominic Canzone
- INF Austin Shenton
They also reassigned two pitchers to minor-league camp: RHP Shintaro Fujinami and RHP Logan Evans.
Despite reportedly being able to play third base, Shenton saw most of his time in big-league camp at first base or DH, two spots with heavy spring competition. With lefty Rowdy Tellez having a solid camp, the Mariners opted to send Shenton, who does have options, to Triple-A.
