The Mariners signed Jerez to a minor-league contract Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
The lefty last pitched in the majors in 2019, when he posted a 4.35 ERA across 10.1 innings between the Giants and the Pirates. It's unclear if and when Jerez makes an appearance on the Mariners roster, but he'll provide some depth in a bullpen that's lacking many left-handed arms.

Jerez elected free agency Thursday, Andersen Pickard of MLBDailyDish.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jerez failed to make it onto the Pirates major-league roster this season and will now test the open market this winter. The southpaw struck out nine while posting a 4.35 ERA across 10.1 innings with the Giants and Pirates in 2019.

Jerez was outrighted to Triple-A Indianapolis on Wednesday, Adam Berry of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jerez's 4.34 ERA in 10.1 major-league innings for the Giants and Pirates last season looks decent enough, but it came with a 2.03 WHIP and a 9:9 K:BB. He doesn't look like much than an up-and-down reliever heading into his age-28 season.

Jerez was designated for assignment Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
The Pirates needed to clear some 40-man roster spots for players they wanted to protect from the Rule 5 draft, and Jerez is a casualty. He had a 4.35 ERA and 2.03 WHIP in 10.1 innings last year.

Jerez was designated for assignment by the Pirates earlier this week and will make his way to Pittsburgh. The 27-year-old allowed two runs on seven hits over 6.2 major-league innings this season, but he did struggle with six walks.

EDGE Analysis
Jerez was sent back to Triple-A Sacramento in mid-August after posting a 2.70 ERA and 1.95 WHIP with four strikeouts over 6.2 innings this season in the majors. He'll head to waivers after losing his spot on the 40-man roster. Johnny Cueto (elbow) was reinstated from the 60-day injured list in a corresponding move.

Jerez (1-0) picked up the win Thursday after holding the Mets to one run on two hits and two walks with a pair of strikeouts over two innings in relief.
EDGE Analysis
Jerez came into the 15th inning with the game tied 1-1 and held the Mets scoreless until the 16th frame, when he served up a go-ahead solo home run to Pete Alonso. Luckily, the Giants came through with a ninth-inning rally for the win. Jerez, who was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento ahead of Thursday's game, owns a 3.00 ERA and 2.00 WHIP over both of his appearances this season.
