Apr 5 2025The Mariners optioned Saucedo to Triple-A Tacoma on Saturday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Saucedo has gotten off to a rough start this season, with four earned runs allowed in just 2.2 innings spanning three appearances. He'll look to right the ship in the minors; meanwhile, Jesse Hahn will come up from Triple-A to fill the vacancy in Seattle's bullpen.
Jun 9 2024Saucedo recorded one out to earn a save over the Royals on Sunday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Saucedo needed only two pitches to record the final out of the 10th inning during Sunday's win. He's picked up two saves and a hold this month despite getting only four outs during those three appearances. He lowered his ERA to 2.81 through 16 innings this season. Saucedo shouldn't see many save chances moving forward as Andres Munoz (back) returned to action Sunday.
Jun 5 2024Saucedo earned the save in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Athletics after coming in to get the final out of the game. He did walk a batter before ending things. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Saucedo was called upon to get the final out of the game after Andres Munoz was forced to depart with a lower-back injury that flared up after a collision at home plate. He was tasked with stranding a runner at second and walked JJ Bleday before handling a Brent Rooker ground ball to end the game. It was Saucedo's second save of the year, though he also has two blown saves to his name as well. The 31-year-old owns a 3.00 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 15:7 K:BB in 15 innings.
May 29 2024Saucedo (2-0) got the win against the Astros on Tuesday, firing a scoreless eighth inning during which he issued a walk and recorded a strikeout. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The veteran southpaw was making his first appearance since being activated off the injured list Sunday, and he served as an effective bridge to Ryne Stanek in the ninth with his clean inning. Saucedo has been effective all season when available, and he now owns a 1.54 ERA and 0.86 WHIP across the 11.2 innings covering his last 11 appearances.
May 26 2024The Mariners reinstated Saucedo (knee) from the 15-day injured list Sunday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: He'll take over the 26-man active roster spot of right-hander Eduard Bazardo, who was optioned to Triple-A Tacoma in a corresponding move. Saucedo was placed on the IL on May 8 with a hyperextended right knee but looks to be healthy again after he tossed a scoreless inning in his lone rehab appearance for Tacoma on Thursday.
May 24 2024Saucedo (knee) struck out one over a scoreless inning Thursday in his first rehab appearance with Triple-A Tacoma. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Saucedo landed on the 15-day injured list a little over two weeks ago with a hyperextended right knee. Because he hasn't missed much time, the left-handed reliever shouldn't need more than a couple rehab appearances, setting himself up for a return within the next few days.
May 10 2024Saucedo (knee) underwent an MRI on Friday which yielded "overall positive" results, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Saucedo was placed on the 15-day injured list with a hyperextended right knee Wednesday and after Friday's imaging, the team is hopeful he can return to the bullpen when he's first eligible to be activated May 23. The left-hander will likely need to make at least one appearance on a rehab assignment before being activated.
May 8 2024The Mariners placed Saucedo on the 15-day injured list Wednesday with a hyperextended right knee. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Saucedo suffered the injury during Tuesday's 10-6 win over the Twins while running to cover first base. He seems to have avoided a serious injury, but it's not clear if the reliever will be ready to be activated when he's first eligible to return May 23.
May 7 2024Saucedo left Tuesday's game against the Twins due to a knee injury, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: While running to cover first base on a ground ball during the eighth inning, Saucedo seemed to jam his right leg on the bag before crumbling to the ground in pain and grabbing his knee. The Mariners have yet to reveal the nature of the injury, but manager Scott Servais said the left-hander will be sidelined for "a while." Saucedo has been used primarily in middle relief this season, logging a 2.70 ERA and 1.13 WHIP across 13.1 innings.
Apr 17 2024Saucedo got the save Tuesday in a 3-1 win over the Reds after retiring the only batter he faced in the ninth. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Ryne Stanek was brought in to begin the ninth to try and close the game, but two walks and an error loaded the bases for the Reds with two outs and led to Saucedo being called upon to replace him. The 31-year-old was able to get the job done after getting Tyler Stephenson to fly out to center to pick up his second career save. Saucedo has been a strong option out of the bullpen early on, posting a 2.70 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 9:2 K:BB in 6.2 innings, but he will likely be behind Andres Munoz and Stanek for saves most nights.
Mar 31 2024Saucedo (1-0) was credited with the win in the extra-inning victory over the Red Sox on Saturday, allowing a hit and issuing an intentional walk over one-third of a scoreless inning. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Saucedo was called on to put out the fire with a man on second and two outs in the 10th inning, and although he surrendered a game-tying RBI single to Masataka Yoshida that plated a run charged to Trent Thornton, he managed to get Trevor Story to fly out to snuff out the threat. Saucedo then became the pitcher of record when Julio Rodriguez laced a game-winning hit in the home half of the frame, giving the southpaw his first victory in what was already his second appearance of the young season.
Mar 15 2024Saucedo has not allowed a run through five innings across five Cactus League appearances while surrendering four hits, hitting a batter and posting a 6:0 K:BB. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Saucedo has pitched to some harmless contact but otherwise excelled, firing an inning apiece in his five turns out of the bullpen. The left-hander was a valuable part of the relief corps in his 2023 debut campaign in Seattle, pitching to a 3-2 record, 3.59 ERA and 1.34 WHIP across 52 appearances while also recording a save and three holds. Saucedo is projected to operate in a similar capacity in the coming season, with Daniel Kramer of MLB.com noting the 30-year-old southpaw could also see action in some higher-leverage spots in addition to his customary sixth- and seventh-inning "pivot" role.
Aug 16 2023Saucedo recorded his first save in an extra-inning win over the Royals on Tuesday, firing a perfect 10th inning during which he didn't record a strikeout or issue a walk. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: With Justin Topa and Andres Munoz having worked the previous 2.2 innings and Matt Brash having pitched the previous two days, Saucedo was called on for a rare save opportunity. The 30-year-old southpaw was masterful while rising to the task, disposing of MJ Melendez, Freddy Fermin and Nelson Velazquez in extremely efficient fashion. Saucedo has now posted scoreless appearances in nine of his last 10 trips to the mound, a 10.1-inning stretch during which he's pitched to an 0.87 ERA and 0.87 WHIP while recording a win and two holds in addition to Tuesday's save.
Aug 7 2023Saucedo (3-1) got the extra-inning win against the Angels on Sunday, firing two perfect innings during which he recorded three strikeouts. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: With both Andres Munoz and Matt Brash unavailable due to recent usage, manager Scott Servais entrusted Saucedo with preserving a 2-2 tie. The left-hander could hardly have been more effective, firing 18 of his 25 pitches for strikes and generating six swings and misses overall. Saucedo has been on an extended stretch of impressive pitching, as he last allowed a run back on July 18 and sports a 1-0 record, 0.61 ERA, Sunday's win and a pair of holds over the 14.2 innings covering his last 14 appearances.
Jun 18 2023Saucedo (2-1) took the loss in extra innings against the White Sox on Saturday, allowing an unearned run on two hits over two-thirds of an inning. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The southpaw appeared on his way to working his way out of the 11th inning following two quick outs, but consecutive singles by Andrew Benintendi and Zach Remillard snapped a 3-3 tie and gave the White Sox a one-run lead the Mariners wouldn't overcome. Saucedo does now have three straight appearances without allowing an earned run, but it's worth noting his usage in the high-leverage scenario was essentially the byproduct of Andres Munoz, Paul Sewald and Gabe Speier having already been deployed earlier in the game.
May 29 2023Saucedo (2-0) got the extra-inning win over the Pirates on Sunday, allowing a hit and a walk over a scoreless 10th inning while striking out the side. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Saucedo was tasked with preserving a 3-3 tie and deftly worked around a Bryan Reynolds leadoff single by ringing up Connor Joe, Jack Suwinski and Ke'Bryan Hayes. The 29-year-old southpaw has been an effective bullpen option for manager Scott Servais, allowing just a single earned run across 11 innings over 12 appearances while producing an 11.5 K/9 and elite 19.9 percent swinging strike rate.
Mar 19 2023Saucedo was optioned to Triple-A Tacoma on Sunday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Saucedo was claimed off waivers by the Mariners in January but won't crack the club's Opening Day roster. The 29-year-old made four big-league appearances for Toronto last season and spent most of the campaign at the Triple-A level, where he had a 2.37 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 28:10 K:BB across 19 innings.
Jan 24 2023Saucedo was designated for assignment by the Mets on Tuesday, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Saucedo will serve as the Mets' roster casualty after the team officially announced the signing of Tommy Pham on Tuesday. The 29-year-old reliever spent much of last season on the injured list, though he was able to post a 2.37 ERA and 1.26 WHIP in 19 Triple-A frames.
Nov 9 2022Saucedo (hip) was claimed off waivers by the Mets on Wednesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Saucedo spent most of the 2022 season on the injured list due to a right hip injury but landed a role with the Mets now that the offseason is underway. It's not yet clear whether he'll be healthy for spring training in 2023.
Aug 26 2022Saucedo (hip) resumed a rehab assignment at Triple-A Buffalo on Friday, Mitch Bannon of SI.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Saucedo recently had his rehab assignment paused due to left shoulder fatigue, but he returned to action at Buffalo on Friday and struck out the side on 15 pitches. The southpaw has had rehab assignments paused twice since landing on the injured list in late April, so the Blue Jays will likely exercise caution before clearing him to rejoin the major-league club.
Aug 23 2022Saucedo (hip) is scheduled to throw a two-inning bullpen session at Triple-A Buffalo on Wednesday and could be cleared to resume his rehab assignment soon thereafter, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Saucedo recently had his rehab assignment paused for the second time since he landed on the injured list April 30, this time on account of left shoulder fatigue after he was initially deactivated due to right hip discomfort. At this stage, the shoulder is likely the greater concern for Saucedo, whose performance hasn't suffered at the Triple-A level despite the multiple stops and starts. Over 15 appearances for Buffalo spanning 14.2 innings, Saucedo owns an 0.61 ERA and 20:8 K:BB.
Jun 29 2022Saucedo (hip) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Wednesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Saucedo has been on the injured list since April 30, and Wednesday's move is simply procedural to make room on the 40-man roster for Sergio Romo, who signed a one-year contract with the Blue Jays on Wednesday. Saucedo has been on a minor-league rehab assignment since mid-June and seems to be closing in on a return.
Jun 21 2022Saucedo (hip) moved his rehab assignment to Triple-A Buffalo on Saturday and tossed a scoreless frame in relief in his first appearance for the affiliate. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Saucedo arrived in Buffalo over the weekend after striking out two in a scoreless inning for the Blue Jays' rookie-level Florida Complex League affiliate a few days earlier. He'll likely make another appearance or two at Triple-A before making his return from the 10-day injured list.
Jun 13 2022Saucedo (hip) will begin a rehab assignment with the Blue Jays' Florida Coast League affiliate Tuesday, Mitch Bannon of SI.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Saucedo has been sidelined since late April due to a right hip injury but will return to game action in the minors this week. Given the length of the southpaw's absence, it seems likely that he'll require multiple rehab appearances prior to rejoining the major-league bullpen.
May 31 2022Saucedo (hip) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session Wednesday, Mitch Bannon of SI.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Saucedo has been on the 10-day injured list since April 30 due to right hip discomfort, so he'll likely need to complete a minor-league rehab assignment before the Blue Jays activate him. The southpaw is projected to fill a low-leverage role out of the bullpen whenever he's deemed fit to rejoin the Blue Jays.
May 16 2022Saucedo (hip) was cleared to play catch Monday at the Blue Jays' spring training complex, Mitch Bannon of SI.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The activity represents the start of a throwing program for Saucedo, who has been on the shelf since April 30 with right hip discomfort. As a reliever, Saucedo won't require as much time as a starter to complete his throwing program, though he's likely at least a week away from heading out on a minor-league rehab assignment.
May 2 2022Saucedo (hip) isn't expected to resume baseball activities for the next week or two, Kaitlyn McGrath of The Athletic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Saucedo landed on the 10-day injured list Saturday after he was removed from his relief appearance against the Astros a day earlier with right hip discomfort. Since he's not going to be able to resume baseball activities this week, Saucedo will end up spending more than the minimum amount of time on the shelf.
Apr 30 2022Saucedo (hip) was placed on the 10-day injured list Saturday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Saucedo was removed from Friday's game against the Astros due to right hip discomfort, and he'll be sidelined for at least a week and a half. Bowden Francis was recalled to provide additional bullpen depth.
Apr 21 2022Saucedo was recalled from Triple-A Buffalo on Thursday, Mitch Bannon of SI.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: He'll take the bullpen spot of Anthony Kay, who was optioned in a corresponding move. Saucedo didn't last long in the majors earlier this season after allowing four earned runs on five hits and three home runs in 2.1 innings the first week of the year.
Apr 11 2022Saucedo was optioned to Triple-A Buffalo on Monday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Saucedo made the Opening Day roster but will be sent down after allowing four runs on five hits (including three homers) in 2.1 innings of work. Anthony Kay will replace him as a left-handed option out of the bullpen.
Apr 5 2022Manager Charlie Montoyo said Tuesday that Saucedo will be included in the Blue Jays' Opening Day bullpen, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Saucedo earned his spot on the roster after striking out nine and issuing one walk over five scoreless innings during Grapefruit League play. The 28-year-old lefty is expected to begin the season in a middle-relief role.
Sep 23 2021Saucedo was optioned to Triple-A Buffalo on Thursday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Saucedo was recalled by Toronto on Sunday, and he allowed three runs (two earned) in 2.1 innings across two relief appearances during his stint with the major-league club. He'll head back to the minors as part of a move to make room for right-hander Thomas Hatch in the big-league bullpen.
Sep 19 2021Saucedo was recalled from Triple-A Buffalo on Sunday, Kaitlyn McGrath of The Athletic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 28-year-old was sent down to Buffalo last weekend but will rejoin the big-league club with Hyun Jin Ryu (neck) landing on the injured list. Saucedo has a 4.24 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 17:10 K:BB over 23.1 major-league innings this season.
Sep 11 2021Saucedo was optioned to Triple-A Buffalo ahead of Saturday's nightcap against the Orioles, Mitch Bannon of SI.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Although Saucedo wasn't used in Saturday's matinee, he'll head to the minors after Anthony Castro was recalled to provide an extra arm in the bullpen. The 28-year-old made 12 relief appearances during his stint with the major-league club, and he recorded a 7.20 ERA and 1.40 WHIP in 10 innings.
Aug 4 2021The Blue Jays recalled Saucedo from Triple-A Buffalo on Wednesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The lefty was demoted to Buffalo after the acquisition of Joakim Soria, but Soria landed on the injured list Wednesday with finger inflammation, creating an opening for Saucedo to rejoin the big-league club. Saucedo has appeared in 15 games for the Blue Jays, posting a 2.03 ERA and 13:4 K:BB in 13.1 innings of relief.
Aug 1 2021The Blue Jays optioned Saucedo to Triple-A Buffalo on Sunday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: During his first stint in the big leagues, Saucedo appeared in 15 games out of the Toronto bullpen, logging a 2.03 ERA and 0.98 WHIP over 13.1 innings. Despite his excellent results, Saucedo will end up moving off the 26-man roster after Toronto needed to clear up a spot for the newly acquired Joakim Soria.
Jul 20 2021Saucedo allowed one run on two hits in two innings of relief during Monday's loss to the Red Sox. He struck out three. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The rookie southpaw got taken deep for the first time in the majors, serving up a solo shot to Enrique Hernandez in the sixth inning. Saucedo has been an effective member of the Jays' bullpen since his promotion in mid-June, posting a 1.80 ERA, 0.80 WHIP and 11:3 K:BB through 10 innings, but his low-leverage role has resulted in zero wins, saves or holds through 11 appearances.
Jun 12 2021Saucedo's contract was purchased from Triple-A Buffalo on Saturday, Mitch Bannon of SI.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: A big 6-foot-5 southpaw, Saucedo had a 2.29 ERA and 21:2 K:BB in 16.1 innings over 10 appearances at Triple-A. Toronto's bullpen has been decimated by injuries, so if Saucedo can carry over that success against big-league hitters, he could work his way into the later innings.
