Scouting Report
Updated May 19, 2026
José A. Ferrer, LHP for the Seattle Mariners, has been placed on the paternity list (May 11, 2026) to welcome a new family member. Ferrer has emerged as one of the most valuable arms in the Mariners' bullpen despite the team dealing with multiple injuries to key relievers. He leads MLB in relief appearances (21) and ranks among the top-10 most valuable relievers in the AL per FanGraphs metrics. Acquired in December from Washington for catcher Harry Ford, Ferrer has posted a 1.80 ERA over 20 innings with 16 strikeouts and 3 walks through early May. He has recorded 2 saves and 4 holds while demonstrating durability and dependability as a leverage reliever.
