Dugger will start a bullpen game for Seattle against Cleveland on Sunday, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Mariners have stuck with a six-man rotation in the absence of Marco Gonzales (forerarm), with a rotating cast of characters filling Gonzales' spot. Dugger will be the latest to take the ball in what will be his second career start. The right-hander is off to a nice start to his Mariners career (2.25 ERA, 1.00 WHIP), but he has not thrown more than three innings in an appearance this season, and that trend will likely continue Sunday.

Dugger fired two scoreless innings in a loss to the Astros on Monday, allowing two hits while not issuing any walks or recording any strikeouts.
EDGE Analysis
Dugger was able to preserve some of his fellow relievers' arms by handling the final pair of frames after being recalled from the alternate training site earlier in the day. The 25-year-old was making his Mariners regular-season debut and could stick as a multi-inning option out of the bullpen for the time being, but he's likely to handle mostly low-leverage work.

Dugger was recalled by the Mariners on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Dugger joined the major-league club as the 27th man for a doubleheader in mid-April, but he'll now rejoin the bullpen after left-hander Nick Margevicius (shoulder) was placed on the 10-day injured list Monday. Dugger made four appearances (one start) for Miami last year and posted a 12.66 ERA and 2.25 WHIP in 10.2 innings.

Dugger was optioned to the alternate training site after Thursday's doubleheader against the Orioles.
EDGE Analysis
The 25-year-old joined the club as the 27th man for the doubleheader, and he'll return to the alternate site as expected. Dugger did not make an appearance in either contest Thursday.

Dugger's contract was selected Thursday, and he'll be the 27th man for the day's doubleheader against the Orioles.
EDGE Analysis
He was cast off the 40-man roster in February but is back to add bullpen depth for a day. Dugger could be designated for assignment again the next time Seattle needs to add someone to the 40-man roster.

Dugger cleared waivers Tuesday and was outrighted to Triple-A Tacoma.
EDGE Analysis
With a 7.40 ERA and a 13.7 percent strikeout rate in 45 career major-league innings, it's no surprise to see him pass through waivers unclaimed. He'll remain in Mariners camp as a non-roster invitee but is now an even longer shot than before to break camp with the team.

Dugger was designated for assignment by the Mariners on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
The 25-year-old was claimed off waivers from the Marlins in December, but he's also been jettisoned from the 40-man roster by his new team. Dugger could remain with the Mariners if he goes unclaimed on waivers this time around.

Dugger was claimed off waivers by the Mariners on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
The Marlins apparently designated Dugger for assignment after he logged a 12.66 ERA and 2.25 WHIP in 10.2 innings (one start) this past season. He came up as a starter, so while he didn't have much success in that role above Double-A, the Mariners could give him a chance to get stretched out this spring.

Dugger was optioned to the Marlins' alternate training site Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Dugger allowed five runs on six hits and one walk while striking out zero over 2.1 innings Sunday against the Nationals, and he'll head back to the alternate training site just one day later. The right-hander has struggled over a limited sample this season, and it's unclear whether he'll be a part of the Marlins' bullpen should the team qualify for the postseason.

Dugger was recalled from the alternate training site Friday.
EDGE Analysis
The 25-year-old was sent to the alternate site last week but will rejoin the Marlins ahead of the weekend series with the Nationals. Dugger has allowed 10 runs on 15 hits with a 4:3 K:BB over 8.1 innings this season.
