Peoria, AZ (Sports Network) - The Seattle Mariners have released pitcher Tyler Walker, who spent last season with San Francisco and was signed as a free agent in January.
Walker was 5-8 with a 4.56 earned run average in 65 appearances for the Giants last season, and this spring pitched to an ERA of 4.76 in six games.
"We have determined that there are other pitchers ahead of Tyler in our bullpen," said Mariners general manager Jack Zduriencik. "That drove this ultimate decision."
Walker, a 32-year-old right-hander, has compiled a career record of 20-17 with 34 saves and a 4.52 ERA in 230 games (one start) with the New York Mets, Giants and Tampa Bay.
The Mariners also optioned catcher Jeff Clement to Triple-A Tacoma on Sunday.
