Mariners' Gerson Bautista: Signs minors deal with Mariners
Gerson Bautista (elbow) agreed to a minor-league contract with the Seattle Mariners on Thursday, Corey Brock of The Athletic reports.Bautista was with the Mariners organization for each of the last two seasons, though he didn't throw a pitch in 2020 as he missed the entire season with a flexor mass strain. He'll remain with the team in 2021, though he's giving up 17 runs in 13.1 career big-league innings, so he's unlikely to be a large part of Seattle's plans.

Mariners' Gerson Bautista: Attends Peoria workout
Gerson Bautista was one of several players present for the re-start of workouts Tuesday at the Seattle Mariners' spring facility in Peoria, Arizona, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports.Bautista was seemingly on his way to claiming a bullpen spot at the time spring training was suspended, so it's encouraging he took advantage of the first opportunity in over two months to attend some team-facilitated workouts. Players were only allowed to work in groups of three Tuesday, and Bautista and his fellow pitchers were able to engage in their throwing programs under staff supervision. The hard-throwing right-hander should eventually gain access to a bullpen mound as well while waiting to see if there will indeed be an abbreviated 2020 season to prepare for.

Mariners' Gerson Bautista: Dominating in spring
Gerson Bautista, who owns a 1.80 ERA and 0.20 WHIP across five innings over five Cactus League appearances, has caught the eye of manager Scott Servais with his performance this spring, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports. "Bautista continues to put together good outing after good outing and his confidence is just soaring, " Servais said. "He's carrying himself different."The hard-throwing 24-year-old mostly shuttled between Triple-A Tacoma and the big-league club last season when healthy, generating an unsightly 11.00 ERA and 2.44 WHIP across nine innings over eight appearances with the Seattle Mariners. Bautista has taken full advantage of the clean start spring training affords, however, and given his high-90s fastball and improving slider, he could be making a case for some late-inning work alongside veteran Yoshihisa Hirano.
