The Mariners designated Bowman for assignment Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Within the past week, Bowman signed a minor-league deal with Seattle, joined the big-league roster to pitch in one game, and has now been pushed back off Seattle's 40-man roster. The 33-year-old owns a 5.40 ERA and 1.20 WHIP through 15 innings in the majors this year, and he may elect free agency again if he passes through waivers unclaimed.

The Mariners signed Bowman to a minor-league contract Tuesday, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bowman elected free agency last week after the Diamondbacks had removed him from their 40-man roster, but it didn't take him a long time to find a new home. He will make $1 million if he joins the major-league roster and his deal includes multiple opt-outs, per Heyman. Bowman holds a 5.02 ERA and 10:6 K:BB over 14.1 innings at the big-league level this season.

Bowman will enter free agency after clearing waivers Friday, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
After being acquired by the Twins on May 2, Bowman struggled in his four outings with the Diamondbacks, allowing six earned runs on eight hits and two walks over 6.2 innings. He was designated for assignment Sunday, and the 33-year-old will hit the open market and look to join a team in need of right-handed depth out of the bullpen.

The Diamondbacks designated Bowman for assignment Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Acquired from the Twins on May 2, Bowman made four appearances out of the Arizona bullpen, giving up six earned runs over 6.2 innings. The 32-year-old righty didn't have any minor-league options remaining, so Arizona had to remove him from the 40-man roster to clear room on the 26-man active roster for lefty Blake Walston, who was called up from Triple-A Reno ahead of his scheduled start Sunday against the Marlins. Bowman will now be exposed to waivers and could head to Reno if he clears.

The Twins traded Bowman to the Diamondbacks for cash considerations Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Bowman was designated for assignment by the Twins on Tuesday to make room for Jhoan Duran. Bowman appeared in five games for Minnesota this season, allowing two runs on two hits and four walks while striking out six over 7.2 innings. To make room for Bowman, the Diamondbacks optioned southpaw Blake Walston to Triple-A Reno, while Merrill Kelly (shoulder) was transferred to the 60-day injured list.

Bowman was designated for assignment by the Twins on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Bowman loses his spot on the 26-man and 40-man rosters with the Twins needing to clear space for the return of Jhoan Duran. He pitched well in yielding just two runs with a 6:4 K:BB over 7.2 innings. The 32-year-old sinkerballer will now go through the waiver process.

Bowman was recalled from Triple-A St. Paul on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Bowman had thrown six scoreless innings at St. Paul with a 7:2 K:BB. Bowman had Tommy John surgery in September 2020 and ended up missing the next two seasons. He returned in 2023 to post a 3.99 ERA and 1.39 WHIP with a 58:30 K:BB in 58.2 innings in Triple-A while making three appearances with the Yankees in the majors. He'll likely be used in low-leverage situations and may quickly head back to Triple-A.
