The Seattle Mariners have designated pitcher Darren McCaughan for assignment.
Fantasy Impact
The move was made to clear a 40-man roster spot for Canaan Smith-Njigba who the club claimed from the Pirates on Wednesday. The 27-year-old has just five MLB outings on his resume with a 7.07 ERA in that time while he posted a 5.83 ERA across 25 games, all starts, with Triple-A Tacoma in 2023.
The Mariners optioned Darren McCaughan to Triple-A Tacoma.
Fantasy Impact

The Mariners Darren McCaughan recalled from Triple-A Tacoma.
Fantasy Impact
McCaughan has been recalled with Bryce Miller (blister) placed on the IL. He has posted a 6.56 ERA across 13 starts so far in the minor leagues this season. He will likely start on Wednesday against the Giants.
Darren McCaughan tossed five no-hit innings in his MLB debut on Wednesday against Colorado, allowing one run with three walks.
Fantasy Impact
After Keynan Middleton allowed five runs in the first inning, McCaughan kept the Mariners in the game, allowing just one run in the next five innings. He might just have earned himself a role in the back of the Mariners rotation or as a long reliever in the bullpen if Justus Sheffield and Justin Dunn remain sidelined.
