Mariners designated RHP Ian Snell for assignment.
Snell was moved to the bullpen last week after opening the season with a 6.11 ERA over his first eight starts. He surrendered three hits, two walks and four earned runs in two innings of mop-up duty Monday in the Mariners' 3-9 loss to the Cardinals. The 28-year-old may draw a little interest on waivers. If not, he will head to the M's Triple-A affiliate in Tacoma.
