Misiewicz was optioned to Triple-A Tacoma on Friday, Shannon Drayer of 710 ESPN Seattle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Misiewicz makes way for Erik Swanson (elbow) to return from the injured list. He hasn't had a particularly strong season, posting a 4.61 ERA and 8:6 K:BB in 13.2 innings of work.

Misiewicz (0-1) was charged with the loss in a defeat at the hands of the Athletics on Tuesday, allowing two earned runs on two hits and two walks over one inning.

EDGE Analysis

Misiewicz got out of a two-on, two-out jam upon entering in the sixth inning by getting Jed Lowrie on a fielder's choice to end the frame, and he also induced a flyout and popup from Chad Pinder and Seth Brown, respectively, to open the seventh. However, the left-hander ultimately gave up run-scoring hits to Elvis Andrus and Luis Barrera that snapped a 5-5 tie. After generating three holds, a 1.86 ERA and 1.03 WHIP across his first 12 appearances of the season, Misiewicz has now surrendered five earned runs across his most recent three trips to the mound.

Misiewicz allowed two earned runs on two hits over two-thirds of an inning in a loss to the Red Sox on Thursday. He struck out one.

EDGE Analysis

The left-hander had allowed just a single earned run over his previous 10 appearances before Thursday's stumble, so there's certainly a likelihood the rocky appearance will prove to be an outlier. Misiewicz still carries a solid 3.48 ERA and 1.16 WHIP, and he's contributed three holds among his 13 trips to the mound.

Misiewicz, who fired a scoreless seventh inning in a loss to the Astros on Monday, has recorded five consecutive scoreless appearances overall.

EDGE Analysis

The southpaw has yet to work more than one inning, but he's been reliable when called upon. Misiewicz has allowed just one earned run across seven appearances, leading to a 1.69 ERA and 1.13 WHIP across 5.1 innings. The 27-year-old also has a pair of holds during that span.

Misiewicz allowed an earned run on three hits over two-thirds of an inning in a loss to the Twins on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

The left-hander inherited a two-on, one-out scenario from starter Chris Flexen and promptly conceded three consecutive RBI singles before inducing an inning-ending double play from Max Kepler. Misiewicz had pitched a clean frame in his season debut Saturday, and despite Monday's hiccup, he's projected for a high-volume workload that should yield a fair share of hold opportunities during the course of the season.

Misiewicz, who logged a team-high 66 appearances last season, should continue as the bullpen's primary left-handed specialist in 2022, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports. "He's had stretches where he's been really good, then he'll have other stretches where it'll happen really quick," manager Scott Servais said. "I'm really hoping he takes a step forward. He could be another guy, pivotal guy, a true pivot guy."

EDGE Analysis

The 27-year-old produced a so-so 4.61 ERA and 1.39 WHIP across his 54.2 innings last season, underscoring some of the inconsistency Servais was alluding to. However, Misiewicz rewarded fantasy managers with 19 holds and five victories, and although he may have been a bit overworked by the end of the 2021 campaign, there are blemishes attached to fellow southpaw bullpen options Justus Sheffield, who may also be picking up some spot starts, Nick Margevicius (shoulder) and Roenis Elias (elbow).

Misiewicz (4-5) allowed three earned runs on four hits while failing to record an out, taking the loss to the Diamondbacks on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Misiewicz entered the sixth inning in a tie game. He surrendered a hit to all four batters he faced before being pulled. It was the second time in his last eight appearances he allowed three runs without recording an out. The 26-year-old has a 4.35 ERA and 1.35 WHIP with 48 punchouts in 49.2 innings this season.

Misiewicz (forearm), activated from the injured list earlier in the day, secured his 16th hold in a win over the Diamondbacks on Saturday by firing a scoreless eighth inning during which he allowed a hit and issued a walk.

EDGE Analysis

Manager Scott Servais wasted no time getting one of his trusted bullpen options back into action, and Misiewicz gave his previously ailing forearm a good test by firing 21 pitches during his one frame. The southpaw should be set to resume his usual heavy workload moving forward, one that's already seen him log 55 appearances this season.

Misiewicz (forearm) was activated off the injured list Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Misiewicz won't wind up missing more than the minimum 10 days while battling a strained left forearm. He's been a useful part of the Mariners' bullpen lately, allowing an earned run in just two of his last 15 appearances.

Misiewicz (forearm) is expected to come off the injured list when first eligible Saturday, the team's official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Misiewicz hit the IL on Saturday, but the move was made retroactive to Wednesday. That makes this coming Saturday the reliever's earliest possible activation date, which manager Scott Servais confirmed Misiewicz should be able to meet. The 26-year-old didn't allow an earned run in nine of his last 10 outings before going on the shelf, posting two holds during that span as well.
