Scouting Report
Updated May 19, 2026
José A. Ferrer, 26-year-old left-handed reliever acquired by the Seattle Mariners from the Washington Nationals in an offseason trade, has been placed on the paternity list (1-3 games) to welcome a new child. Despite the temporary absence, Ferrer has made an impressive early-season impact with the Mariners, leading MLB in relief appearances (21) and establishing himself as a critical bullpen arm. He boasts a 1.80 ERA with 16 strikeouts in 20 innings, 2 saves, and 4 holds. His recent three-game stretch against Atlanta was particularly dominant (3.1 scoreless innings, 1 hit, 4 strikeouts, 1 save), validating the Mariners' trade investment. The team's bullpen is currently depleted with Matt Brash, Gabe Speier, and Carlos Vargas all on the injured list.
