The Mariners recalled Bazardo from Triple-A Tacoma prior to Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Angels. He tossed a perfect inning of relief, striking out two of the three batters he faced.
Bazardo's appearance Sunday was his 14th of the season for Seattle but his first since July 11, as he had largely toiled away with Tacoma since the All-Star break. He's shown the ability to miss bats between his stops in the majors and Triple-A this season, but an elevated walk rate could prevent him from taking hold of a high-leverage role in the Seattle bullpen down the stretch.

Mariners' Eduard Bazardo: Records first win Monday
Rotowire
Bazardo (1-0) picked up the win against the Yankees on Monday, allowing an earned run on a hit and a walk over 1.2 innings.
Bazardo picked up what was a fairly improbable victory, as he actually allowed the Yankees' lead to expand to 4-1 in the eighth after wiggling out of an inherited bases-loaded jam in the seventh by inducing an inning-ending double play from Giancarlo Stanton. However, the Mariners put together a four-run rally in the ninth, giving them a one-run lead that would stick. Bazardo has now allowed at least one run in three of his first four appearances of the season and has issued a walk in all of them, so he remains a shaky option for the time being despite Monday's success.

Mariners' Eduard Bazardo: Works two innings in season debut
Rotowire
Bazardo made his season debut in Thursday's 11-1 loss to the Twins, allowing an earned run on a hit and a walk over two innings. He struck out four.
Manager Scott Servais found the ideal low-leverage setting for Bazardo's first taste of action after a long stint on the IL due to a right rotator cuff strain, deploying the right-hander in the fifth and sixth innings of a game in which the Mariners already faced an eight-run deficit. Bazardo located 22 of his 35 pitches for strikes, with the one run he surrendered coming on a Manuel Margot groundout. Bazardo will likely work in middle relief.
