Mariners recall righty Alex Hoppe from Triple-A Tacoma, designate Casey Legumina for assignment
Hoppe is set for his MLB debut after allowing one unearned run in eight Tacoma innings, while Legumina was DFA'd after a three-run outing.
- On Tuesday, the Seattle Mariners recalled 27-year-old right-hander Alex Hoppe from Triple-A Tacoma and designated Casey Legumina for assignment to clear 40-man roster space.
- Legumina's poor Monday performance triggered the move after he allowed three eighth-inning runs and took the loss in a 6-4 defeat to the Athletics, exhausting his minor-league options.
- In eight games for Tacoma this season, Hoppe allowed one unearned run with 12 strikeouts across eight innings while leading the Pacific Coast League with four saves and holding hitters to a.148 batting average.
- Hoppe will make his MLB debut in his first appearance for the Mariners, saying Tuesday at T-Mobile Park, "It's a call you kind of dream of ever since you're a little kid."
- Acquired from the Boston Red Sox on Nov. 18, 2025, in exchange for catcher Luke Heyman, Hoppe compiled a 7-14 record with a 4.55 ERA across four minor league seasons despite fastball velocity touching 100 mph.
