Mariners' Asher Wojciechowski: Back with Seattle for '22
Wojciechowski re-signed Feb. 8 with the Mariners on a minor-league contract.
After finishing the 2021 season at Triple-A Tacoma within the Mariners organization, Wojciechowski elected free agency in November. He ultimately decided a return to Seattle was his best option, and while his new deal likely includes an invitation to big-league camp, he's probably not a serious threat for the Mariners' Opening Day rotation. The 33-year-old right-hander has spent parts of five seasons in the majors from 2015 through 2021, logging a lifetime 5.93 ERA, 1.46 WHIP and 21.5 percent strikeout rate across 202 innings over stops with the Astros, Reds, Orioles and Yankees.

Wojciechowski signed a minor-league deal with the Mariners on Wednesday, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

Asher Wojciechowski: Elects free agency
Wojciechowski elected free agency Saturday instead of accepting an outright assignment to the Yankees' minor-league system.
Wojciechowski's contract was selected Wednesday ahead of his first start of the year. He was designated for assignment the next day after a passable performance in which he held the Phillies to two runs in four innings. He'll now be able to have his pick of future employers, though he may have a tough time finding a major-league contract considering that no team claimed him off waivers.

Yankees' Asher Wojciechowski: Outrighted to Triple-A
The Yankees outrighted Wojciechowski to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Saturday.
The righty went unclaimed on waivers after being designated for assignment Thursday. Wojciechowski was decent Wednesday in his first big-league start of the season, lasting four innings and yielding only a pair of runs. It remains to be seen whether he'll rejoin the Yankees at some point for another spot start.

Yankees' Asher Wojciechowski: Designated for assignment
Wojciechowski was designated for assignment by the Yankees on Thursday.
Wojciechowski made his season debut against the Phillies on Wednesday and allowed two runs on three hits and three walks while striking out four in four innings. The right-hander will now be cast off the 40-man roster after Sal Romano's contract was selected in a corresponding move. It's not yet clear whether Wojciechowski will remain in the organization if he goes unclaimed on waivers.

Yankees' Asher Wojciechowski: Works four innings
Wojciechowski allowed two earned runs on three hits and three walks while striking out four across four innings Wednesday against the Phillies. He did not factor into the decision.
Wojciechowski had his contract selected before the start and made his season debut for the Yankees. He allowed a leadoff home run to Jean Segura but largely managed to work around trouble to keep the Yankees in the game. It remains unclear if he'll get another turn through the rotation, though the team has very few options at starting pitcher with Nestor Cortes (COVID-19) and several others currently sidelined. Prior to this outing, Wojciechowski had managed a 5.68 ERA and 1.60 WHP across 12.2 innings at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

Yankees' Asher Wojciechowski: Called up ahead of start
The Yankees selected Wojciechowski's contract from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre ahead of his scheduled start Wednesday against the Phillies.
New York outrighted infielder Hoy Jun Park off the 40-man roster and 26-man active roster to clear room for Wojciechowski, who will be making his team debut. The journeyman right-hander will slot into the big-league rotation after posting a 5.68 ERA and 1.60 WHIP while striking out 17 over 12.2 innings at Triple-A this season.

Yankees' Asher Wojciechowski: Starting Wednesday
Wojciechowski will be called up to start Wednesday against the Phillies, Kristie Ackert of the New York Daily News reports.
Wojciechowski's career 5.95 ERA in 198 innings at the big-league level isn't particularly inspiring. He's struck out just 21.5 percent of opposing batters while generating a very low 28.9 percent groundball rate. He hasn't shown any signs of encouragement in a small sample of 12.2 innings for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre this season, struggling to a 5.68 ERA and 1.56 WHIP.

Yankees' Asher Wojciechowski: Reinstated from injured list
Wojciechowski (lat) was reinstated from the 7-day minor-league injured list Saturday, Conor Foley of The Scranton Times-Tribune reports.
Wojciechowski suffered a lat injury during spring training and hasn't yet made his 2021 debut, but he should be available for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre going forward. The right-hander made 10 appearances (seven starts) for the Orioles last year and posted a 6.81 ERA and 1.62 WHIP in 37 innings.

Yankees' Asher Wojciechowski: Gets reassigned
The Yankees reassigned Wojciechowski (lat) to their minor-league camp Wednesday.
Wojciechowski is unlikely to make any further appearances this spring after he sustained a lat injury in his Sunday's Grapefruit League game against the Blue Jays, but he wasn't on track to make the Opening Day roster even if his health prevailed. Once he overcomes the lat injury, Wojciechowski will likely serve as organizational depth at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

Yankees' Asher Wojciechowski: Sent to minor-league camp
Wojciechowski (lat) was reassigned to minor-league camp Wednesday.
Wojciechowski exited Sunday's spring game due to a lat injury, and he hasn't appeared since. However, he'll now continue his recovery process with the minor-league squad with just over a week remaining until the regular season. Wojciechowski posted a 7.94 ERA with seven strikeouts over 5.2 innings during four relief appearances this spring.

Yankees' Asher Wojciechowski: Exits with injury
Wojciechowski was removed from Sunday's spring game against the Blue Jays due to a lat injury, Brendan Kuty of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.
Wojciechowski threw 23 pitches in relief Sunday, but he left the game with one out in the seventh inning. However, manager Aaron Boone said after the game that he's hopeful that Wojciechowski's injury is minor. The right-hander has been serving as a non-roster invitee with the Yankees this spring and has posted a 7.94 ERA and 7:2 K:BB over 5.2 innings during four relief appearances.

Yankees' Asher Wojciechowski: Invited to spring training
Wojciechowski signed with the Yankees as a non-roster invitee Thursday, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports.
Wojciechowski was designated for assignment by the Orioles in September and cleared waivers. He'll now join the Yankees on a minor-league pact that will pay him $750,000 if he reaches the big leagues in 2021. The 32-year-old made 10 appearances (seven starts) for Baltimore in 2020, posting a 6.81 ERA and 1.62 WHIP over 37 innings.

Orioles' Asher Wojciechowski: Moves to bullpen
Orioles manager Brandon Hyde announced Sept. 6 that Wojciechowski would transition into a "swing role" out of the Baltimore bullpen, Joe Trezza of MLB.com reports.
Hyde isn't closing the door on Wojciechowski starting again, though that doesn't seem to be a likely outcome unless the Orioles' rotation is decimated by injuries. Through his seven starts, Wojciechowski posted a 5.17 ERA and 1.44 WHIP while giving up eight home runs over 31.1 innings. Since ceding his spot in the rotation to rookie Dean Kremer, Wojciechowski hasn't fared any better out of the bullpen. He's given up home runs in both of his relief appearances, including two three-run blasts to the Yankees' Luke Voit in his most recent outing Sept. 11.

Orioles' Asher Wojciechowski: Strikes out five
Wojciechowski allowed three earned runs on seven hits and one walk while striking out five across five innings Tuesday against the Mets. He did not factor into the decision.
Wojciechowski was tripped up in the second inning when he surrendered a single and double to begin the frame, ultimately resulting in two earned runs. He was otherwise solid, with the only other run he allowed coming on a solo home run. Wojciechowski has now allowed three earned runs in each of his past four starts, and he's only managed to pitch five innings in two of them. Overall, he has a 5.17 ERA with a 29:11 K:BB across 31.1 innings for the season. Wojciechowski is currently projected to take the mound Sunday against the Yankees.
