Fletcher has made the Pirates' Opening Day roster, Justice delos Santos of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Fletcher was claimed off waivers by the Pirates in mid-March after being designated for assignment by Seattle, and he tossed 4.2 scoreless innings across five relief appearances this spring. In spite of his promising results during camp, the southpaw should operate in a low-leverage role to begin the 2022 campaign.

Fletcher was claimed off waivers by the Pirates on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
The Mariners designated Fletcher for assignment Sunday, but he'll quickly find a new home with Pittsburgh. The southpaw spent most of the 2021 campaign at Triple-A Tacoma and logged a 3.47 ERA and 1.36 WHIP in 49.1 innings across 39 relief appearances. He's made brief major-league appearances with Seattle across the last two years but seems most likely to begin the 2022 season at Triple-A Indianapolis.

The Mariners designated Fletcher for assignment Sunday, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Seattle dropped both Fletcher and catcher Jose Godoy from the 40-man roster Sunday, presumably to clear up openings for potential signings or trade acquisitions. If Fletcher goes unclaimed off waivers, he'll stick around in the organization and will likely participate in big-league spring training, though he'll most likely end up opening the campaign at Triple-A Tacoma. Fletcher made four appearances out of the Seattle bullpen in 2021, giving up five earned runs on seven hits and a walk over 3.2 innings.

Fletcher was optioned back to Triple-A Tacoma on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Fletcher's latest stint on the active roster lasted just a single day. He gave up a run in his lone inning of work, which actually lowered his season ERA to 12.27 through 3.2 innings.

Fletcher was recalled from Triple-A Tacoma on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Four Mariners relievers were placed on the COVID-19 injured list, so the team is bringing up three pitchers from Triple-A in a flurry of moves. Fletcher should work in low-leverage spots.

Fletcher was optioned to Triple-A Tacoma on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Fletcher joined the Mariners' bullpen in early May and allowed three runs on three hits and no walks while striking out one in 1.2 scoreless innings. The southpaw will now head back to the minors after Paul Sewald's contract was selected as part of a shuffle.

Fletcher was optioned to the Mariners' alternate training site Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Fletcher was unable to secure a spot on Seattle's Opening Day roster despite a strong spring performance. The southpaw made seven Cactus League appearances this year and posted a 1.35 ERA and 12:2 K:BB over 6.2 innings but will report to alternate camp ahead of the regular season.

Fletcher was optioned to the Mariners' alternate training site Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Fletcher made six appearances during his time with the team but failed to impress, posting a 12.46 ERA and a 3.23 WHIP over a very small sample of 4.1 innings. Erik Swanson (forearm) returned from the injured list in a corresponding move.

Fletcher's contract was selected by the Mariners on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Fletcher has yet to make his major-league debut. The 24-year-old southpaw has yet to pitch above Double-A and threw just 19.1 innings at that level last season, though he did show some promise with a 3.72 ERA and a 29.3 percent walk rate in limited action.
