The Mariners reassigned Kitchen to minor-league camp Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Kitchen made four relief appearances with Miami during the 2024 season before being claimed off waivers by Seattle in September. He finished the season on the Mariners' 40-man roster before being outrighted in January, so he never seemed to be a likely candidate to claim a spot in Seattle's Opening Day bullpen. Kitchen is expected to work in relief at Triple-A Tacoma to begin the upcoming season.

Kitchen cleared waivers Thursday and was sent outright to Triple-A Tacoma.

EDGE Analysis

Kitchen never made an appearance for the M's after being claimed off waivers in September, though he did make four appearances for the Marlins, surrendering 11 earned runs in just seven frames. He'll now serve as organizational depth in the Rainiers' bullpen.

The Mariners designated Kitchen for assignment Monday, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

The transaction clears a spot on the 40-man roster for Donovan Solano, who was signed Monday. Kitchen was a September waiver claim of the Mariners and didn't make an appearance for them. He allowed 12 runs (11 earned) over seven innings with the Marlins in 2024.

The Mariners claimed Kitchen off waivers from the Marlins on Monday and optioned him to Triple-A Tacoma.

EDGE Analysis

Seattle designated infielder Jason Vosler for assignment to clear room on the 40-man roster for Kitchen, a 27-year-old lefty reliever. He reached the big leagues for the first time this season but was lit up in his four appearances out of the Miami bullpen, giving up 11 earned runs on 16 hits and three walks over seven innings.

The Marlins designated Kitchen for assignment Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

While serving as the opener for Friday's game against the Phillies, Kitchen surrendered seven runs (six earned) over just two innings. He'll now be cast off the active and 40-man rosters, and a 3.35 ERA at Triple-A could attract attention from other organizations looking to boost their minor-league pitching depth.

Kitchen (0-1) yielded seven runs (six earned) on nine hits over two innings Friday, striking out one and taking a loss against the Phillies.

EDGE Analysis

Kitchen was thrust into a spot start after Edward Cabrera (migraine) was scratched Friday. The Phillies jumped on Kitchen early, plating three runs in the first before scoring four more in the second. It was the rookie's first career MLB start and he saw his ERA jump from 9.00 to 14.14 through seven innings. Kitchen shouldn't be expected to stick around in the rotation.

Kitchen will start for the Marlins for Friday's game against the Phillies, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Edward Cabrera was slated to start Friday, but he was scratched with a reason yet to be provided. Kitchen hasn't pitched more than two innings across his three major-league outings this season, and that will likely be his limit in his spot start. In his last appearance Tuesday against the Nationals, he gave up one hit across 1.1 scoreless innings.

The Marlins recalled Kitchen from Triple-A Jacksonville on Wednesday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 27-year-old was sent to Jacksonville in early August and will rejoin the major-league bullpen for the final stretch of the month. Kitchen has made just one appearance in the big leagues and has a 2.96 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 31:13 K:BB over 48.2 innings across three minor-league levels this season.

The Marlins optioned Kitchen to Triple-A Jacksonville on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Kitchen was recalled last week and allowed three runs over two innings in his lone appearance. The lefty is clearing out to make room on the roster for Valente Bellozo, who is the starting pitcher for Friday's game in Atlanta.

Miami recalled Kitchen from Triple-A Jacksonville on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Kitchen joins the active roster for the first time since being claimed off waivers from the Rockies on June 25. He's surrendered two runs in 5.2 innings for Jacksonville and should provide some bullpen depth for Miami.
