Engel signed a minor-league contract Tuesday with the Mariners, Mike Curto of the Tacoma Rainiers reports. Engel has already reported to Triple-A Tacoma and is in the starting lineup Tuesday night against the Triple-A affiliate of the Giants. The 31-year-old outfielder was released by the Padres last week, having spent most of his time with that organization stuck in recovery mode from a March hamstring strain.

The Padres released Engel on Wedensday. The 31-year-old outfielder held a .620 OPS in Triple-A and went 0-for-6 at the plate in his brief major-league stint. Engel now has the opportunity to sign on with another team as organizational depth.

Engel was designated for assignment by the Padres on Saturday, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports. Engel comes off the 40- and 26-man roster after the Padres activated Jose Azocar (elbow) off the 10-day injured list. Engel has appeared in just five games with the Padres, and the outfielder didn't pick up a hit in his six at-bats in those contests. If he goes unclaimed, Engel could report back to Triple-A El Paso to provide some organizational depth.

Engel (hamstring) was reinstated off the 10-day injured list by the Padres on Friday. Engel ended up missing well over a month with his hamstring strain. The outfielder will take the place of Jose Azocar with Azocar placed on the 10-day IL with left elbow inflammation. Engel should operate as a backup outfielder now that he's back on the roster.

Engel (hamstring) played his fourth minor-league rehab game Wednesday with Triple-A El Paso, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports. Engel went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts Wednesday versus Triple-A Tacoma, but the positive news is that he was 3-for-9 with two doubles, four walks and two stolen bases in his three games prior. The 31-year-old outfielder appears on track to return from the 10-day injured list and join the Padres within the next few days as he completes his recovery from a late-March hamstring strain.
