Wisler pitched two scoreless innings, allowing one hit and striking out one batter in Saturday's 5-4 loss to the Rays.
EDGE Analysis
Wisler did his job well, needing only 23 pitches to navigate the two-inning appearance. In nine appearances (four as an opener) with the Mariners, Wisler has a 2.61 ERA and 0.87 WHIP across 10.1 innings. The opener role will continue to prevent him from gathering decisions.

Wisler will open Tuesday's game against the Padres, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wisler found success in his last appearance as an opener, tossing two scoreless frames July 29 against the Tigers. He'll work the first inning or two before making way for Wade LeBlanc, who will serve as Seattle's primary pitcher.

Wisler served as the opener in Sunday's extra-inning win over the Tigers, firing two perfect innings during which he recorded two strikeouts.
EDGE Analysis
Wisler now has three straight scoreless appearances, with two of those coming in the role of opener. The 26-year-old's modest stretch of success comes in the wake of Wisler giving up an earned run in each of his first three appearances with the Mariners after being acquired in a trade with the Padres in late June. Wisler could certainly continue seeing opener opportunities during the remainder of the season, given his ability to work multiple innings.

Wisler pitched one inning, allowing a hit and striking out two in Saturday's 6-2 loss to the Angels.
EDGE Analysis
It's his first scoreless appearance in a Mariners uniform, and also the first time he's been deployed in the opener role this year. The 26-year-old reliever owns a 5.45 ERA in 33 innings between the Mariners and Padres this season, with a 40:10 K:BB ratio. While a small sample size, the success as an opener Saturday could lead to Wisler being used in that role more frequently going forward, which would limit his ability to factor into decisions.

Wisler will serve as the Mariners' opening pitcher for Saturday's game against the Angels, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
He'll become the seventh different Seattle pitcher to serve as an opener this season and will likely cover no more than an inning or two before giving way to bulk reliever Wade LeBlanc. The early returns from Wisler haven't been promising since he came over from the Padres in an Independence Day trade. He's given up a run in each of his three appearances, all of which consisted of one inning.

Wisler was acquired by the Mariners from the Padres for cash considerations Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Wisler was designated for assignment over the weekend and the Mariners opted to acquire him via trade rather than risk a waiver claim. It's the second time this season the 26-year-old has been DFA'd and subsequently traded. Wisler has a 5.28 ERA, 1.52 WHIP and 34:10 K:B over 29 innings this season.

Wisler was designated for assignment by the Padres on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Wisler was acquired from the Reds in April and joined the team shortly thereafter, but he struggled with a 5.28 ERA, 1.52 WHIP and 34:10 K:BB over 29 innings. The 26-year-old could remain in the organization if he goes unclaimed on waivers.

Wisler was added to the Padres' active roster Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Wisler will be available out of San Diego's bullpen during the team's upcoming series against the Cardinals, which starts Friday. The 26-year-old right-hander notched a 4.28 ERA and 32:7 K:BB in 40 innings with the Braves and Reds last season.

Wisler was traded from the Reds to the Padres on Monday in exchange for Diomar Lopez.
EDGE Analysis
Wisler was designated for assignment after losing his bullpen job in Cincinnati, so this is a best-case scenario for the 26-year-old right-hander. He figures to join San Diego's bullpen, although the team hasn't officially announced where Wisler will land following the trade.
