Light announced his retirement Monday, Rob Bradford of WEEI.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Light hadn't recorded a big-league statistic since the 2016 season, when he appeared in 17 contests between stops in Boston and Minnesota. He struggled to an 11.34 ERA and 2.28 WHIP with 16 punchouts over 16.2 frames over that stretch. Light spent time in the Mariners' farm system in 2017 and 2018 prior to being released.

Light was released by the Mariners on Tuesday, Tacoma Rainiers broadaster Mike Curto reports.

EDGE Analysis

Light was claimed off waivers by the Mariners last June but never sniffed the big leagues. The 27-year-old allowed eight runs with eight walks and no strikeouts over three innings for Triple-A Tacoma this season, and will hope to latch on with another organization.

The Mariners outrighted Light to Triple-A Tacoma on Wednesday, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The transaction opens up a 40-man roster spot for the Mariners, though the team has yet to announce a corresponding move. Light, 26, was plucked off waivers from the Pirates on July 17 and was lit up for four runs in one inning during his lone appearance with the Tacoma.

Light was claimed off waivers by the Mariners on Saturday, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Light was designated for assignment by the Pirates on June 10, but his passable 3.76 ERA with Pittsburgh's Triple-A affiliate caught the Mariners' eye. He has a live arm, routinely sitting in the mid 90s with his fastball, although he hasn't been able to translate any of his minor-league success to the big leagues. To make room for him on the active roster, Ryne Harper was designated for assignment.

Light was designated for assignment by the Pirates on Saturday, Adam Berry of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Light was designated in order to make room on the roster for recently selected Edgar Santana. The 27-year-old had not appeared in any games with the Pirates this season, posting a 4.13 ERA at the Triple-A level with Indianapolis. During the 2016 season, Light earned 17 appearances with the Red Sox and Twins, but allowed 21 earned runs in 16.2 innings with a 16:16 K:BB, making it a toss up on whether teams will claim him off waivers.

Light was optioned to Triple-A Indianapolis on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

The hard-throwing right-hander could eventually work his way into the Pirates' bullpen mix, but he'll have to bide his time at the Triple-A level until he can iron out his control problems. Over 54.2 combined innings in the majors and at Triple-A last season, Light walked a whopping 35 batters.

Light was traded to the Pirates on Thursday for a player to be named or cash considerations

EDGE Analysis

Light had recently been designated for assignment by the Twins to make room for recently acquired infielder Ehire Adrianza. The 25-year-old right-hander posted successful minor league stints with both Boston and Minnesota last season, but enjoyed far less success at the big league level. In 17 appearances shared between the Twins and the Red Sox, Light earned a 11.34 ERA along with a disappointing 8.64 BB/9 over 16.2 innings. The Pirates will be hoping they can help him regain the effectiveness he demonstrated in Triple-A, which could eventually provide a valuable boost to their big league bullpen.

Light was designated for assignment Monday.

EDGE Analysis

After acquiring him in a trade with the Red Sox last year, the Twins designated Light for assignment in order to make room on the roster for recently claimed infielder Ehire Adrianza. The 25-year-old struggled in his limited big league appearances last year, posting a 11.34 ERA across 14 innings between Boston and Minnesota. He fared much better in Triple-A, however, accumulating a 2.37 ERA with a 9.9 K/9 in 38 innings there. His solid numbers at Triple-A should garner him some interest on waivers for those in need of bullpen depth.

Light was recalled by the Twins on Sunday, Mike Berardino of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

Light was acquired from Boston in a deadline deal, and the lefty will now get his first taste of Major League action with his new club. Between Triple-A Pawtucket and Triple-A Rochester, Light is a perfect 9-for-9 on save opportunities, posting a combined 2.37 ERA. The 25-year-old will be a strong boost to the back end of a Minnesota bullpen that has struggled this year.

Light was traded Monday to the Twins in exchange for Fernando Abad, Mike Berardino of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Red Sox were determined to add a lefty reliever to their bullpen at the trade deadline and found their man in Abad, who the non-contending Twins were eager to deal while he maintained some value. The 25-year-old Light isn't a marquee prospect, but he offers more years of club control and has been impressive while working as the closer for Triple-A Pawtucket this season, producing a 2.32 ERA and 36 strikeouts over 31 innings. He'll likely report to Triple-A Rochester with his new organization, but he could join the big club at some point in the second half.
