Seattle Mariners to Call up Former LSU Pitcher Kade Anderson, Report Says
The left-hander is set to start against the Chicago Cubs after a dominant minor league season and 18 professional starts.
- The Seattle Mariners are calling up top pitching prospect Kade Anderson to start Saturday against the Chicago Cubs at T-Mobile Park, marking the 22-year-old's major league debut.
- With a 60-68 record and sitting 3.0 games back from the final American League Wild Card spot, the Mariners need a jolt of energy to maintain their postseason push.
- Anderson, the third overall pick in the 2025 MLB Draft, posted a 10-1 record with a 1.06 ERA across 18 starts for Double-A Arkansas, recording 135 strikeouts while allowing just 13 walks over 93.1 innings.
- Mariners president of baseball operations Jerry Dipoto confirmed the team will not use the rookie in the bullpen, placing him directly into the starting rotation for the Saturday matchup broadcast nationally on FOX.
- Facing the Cubs provides an immediate test for Anderson, as the opponents hold a six-game lead in the Wild Card standings, making this debut a critical evaluation for Seattle's potential rotation anchor.
