The Mariners recalled Kowar from Triple-A Tacoma and placed him on the 15-day injured list Wednesday with a right shoulder impingement, retroactive to Aug. 19. Kowar was sent down to Triple-A in mid-August but hasn't pitched for Tacoma since being demoted. Now dealing with a shoulder issue, the 28-year-old will return to the big-league club to rehab his injury. He'll be eligible to return from the IL as soon as he's healthy, but there's currently no telling how close he is to activation.

The Mariners optioned Kowar to Triple-A Tacoma on Tuesday. Kowar had allowed four runs over 2.1 innings covering his last three relief appearances. He'll head to Tacoma for now but could get another opportunity in the Seattle bullpen later on this season.

The Mariners recalled Kowar from Triple-A Tacoma on Friday. Kowar was optioned to Triple-A on Wednesday, but he'll turn around and head back to Seattle to replace the injured Trent Thornton (Achilles). Kowar will likely take on a middle-relief role with the Mariners after posting a 1.54 ERA and 0.86 WHIP through 11.2 innings with the big club this season.

The Mariners optioned Kowar to Triple-A Tacoma on Wednesday. The Mariners had to make room in their bullpen after acquiring Caleb Ferguson from Pittsburgh on Wednesday, and Kowar will officially end up as the roster casualty. The 28-year-old righty pitched three scoreless innings after being recalled from Triple-A on Thursday, lowering his big-league ERA to 1.54 through 11.2 frames this season.

The Mariners recalled Kowar from Triple-A Tacoma on Thursday. Since being optioned to Triple-A in mid-June, Kowar has given up six runs (three earned) over nine innings while striking out 12 batters and walking seven. He owns a 2.08 ERA through 8.2 frames with the Mariners this year, but his career 8.38 ERA will keep him limited to a low-leverage role in Seattle's bullpen. Brandyn Garcia was optioned to Tacoma in a corresponding move.
