EDGE Analysis

The Mariners made their final round of cuts Friday in advance of Opening Day and Ashley was one of seven players to be optioned or reassigned.

He'll provide organizational depth at catcher while Mike Zunino and Carlos Ruiz stick with the big league club.

EDGE Analysis

The 32-year-old backstop made it to the majors for a 12-game run with the Brewers in 2015, but has otherwise been a career minor leaguer. He brings valuable experience to the table and works well with young pitchers, but is not a realistic option for significant time in the big leagues.

Ashley was returned to minor-league camp Tuesday. With Jonathan Lucroy and Martin Maldonado both healthy, Ashley had no shot of making the Opening Day roster. He may only be the fourth catcher in the organization, as Juan Centeno appears to be higher in the pecking order.

Rays sent C Nevin Ashley outright to Triple-A Durham. Ashley cleared waivers after being designated for assignment by the Rays last week. The 27-year-old backstop batted .263/.358/.384 with eight homers and 48 RBI last season between Double- and Triple-A. He'll serve as organizational depth in 2012.

Rays designated C Nevin Ashley for assignment. The move was made in order to clear a spot on the 40-man roster for Luke Scott. A former sixth-round pick, Ashley batted .263/.358/.384 with eight homers and 48 RBI between Double- and Triple-A in 2011. He seems likely to clear waivers and remain in the organization.
