Hart signed a minor-league contract with the Mariners on Monday.
Hart was let go by the Phillies in April, and he'll now head to Seattle where he'll likely serve as organizational depth. He last appeared in the big leagues during the 2020 season with Boston, when he struggled to a 15.55 ERA and 3.09 WHIP with a 13:10 K:BB across 11 innings.

Hart has logged only four career appearances at the MLB level, all with the Red Sox during the COVID-condensed 2020 season. The 30-year-old left-hander will probably serve as Double-A or Triple-A pitching depth for Philadelphia in 2023.

Red Sox's Kyle Hart: Lands on injured list
Rotowire
Hart was placed on the 10-day injured list with a left hip impingement Wednesday, Bill Koch of The Providence Journal reports.
Hart had a rough outing out of the bullpen Tuesday, and he was apparently hampered by an injury that will keep him sidelined for at least 10 days. Given his usage Tuesday, the southpaw will likely pitch out of the bullpen once he returns. Right-hander Andrew Triggs was recalled from the team's alternate training site in a corresponding move.
Hart worked two innings out of the bullpen in Tuesday's 10-3 loss to the Braves, giving up six runs on seven hits while striking out one.
Though the Red Sox never announced Hart was removed from the rotation, his usage in relief Tuesday confirms as much. Ryan Weber received the start Tuesday in Hart's place, while Mike Kickham will join the rotation in Wednesday's series finale to fill in for the injured Nathan Eovaldi (calf).

Red Sox's Kyle Hart: Escapes with no-decision
Rotowire
Hart didn't factor into the decision during Tuesday's 9-7 win over the Blue Jays, allowing six runs on eight hits and three walks over 3.1 innings. He struck out three.
The rookie got tagged for four runs in the first inning before finally exiting the game in the fourth, but the Red Sox got Hart off the hook for a loss with a big rally in the sixth. He has yet to get out of the fourth frame in any of his three big-league starts, and only Boston's lack of rotation depth is keeping him around. Hart will carry a brutal 13.00 ERA, 3.00 WHIP and 12:10 K:BB through nine innings into his next outing, currently scheduled for Monday at home against Atlanta.

Red Sox's Kyle Hart: Struggles with command
Rotowire
Hart gave up two runs on two hits and four walks over 3.2 innings during Wednesday's win over the Phillies. He had five strikeouts and didn't factor in the decision.
The 27-year-old has now issued seven walks through his first two starts, and he delivered only 39 of his 73 pitches for strikes Wednesday. Hart will need to illustrate better command to have a chance to work deeper into games, and his next opportunity should be Tuesday against the Blue Jays.

Red Sox's Kyle Hart: Receives another start
Rotowire
Hart is slated to start Wednesday's game against the Phillies, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.
Hart was roughed up in his first MLB start Aug. 13 against the Rays, lasting just two innings and giving up seven runs (five earned) on seven hits and three walks. While that sort of poor showing would normally disqualify a spot starter from earning another turn through the rotation, the Red Sox -- whose starters have posted a 6.95 ERA this season heading into Sunday's action -- have few appealing alternatives on hand to replace Hart. Boston will hope Hart can at least eat a few more innings Wednesday, but fantasy players are probably best off looking at other streaming options this week.

Red Sox's Kyle Hart: Crushed by Rays
Rotowire
Hart (0-1) allowed seven runs (five earned) on seven hits and three walks while striking out four across two innings to take the loss Thursday against the Rays.
Hart made his major-league debut, though the results were not good. After allowing two runs in the first inning, he settled down to record a scoreless second inning. However, things deteriorated quickly in the third frame as he allowed the first six batters he faced to reach base, including a walk, two home runs, a double and two singles. The Red Sox continue to seek effective starting pitching, and it remains to be seen if Hart will get another turn through the rotation.

Red Sox's Kyle Hart: Big-league debut coming Thursday
Rotowire
Hart will be recalled from the alternate training site to start Thursday's game against the Rays, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.
The 27-year-old was unable to secure a spot on the Opening Day roster, but he's now set to make his major-league debut this week. Hart spent 2019 at Triple-A Pawtucket and had a 3.86 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 80:36 K:BB over 100.1 innings (15 starts), and a decent outing Thursday should bring additional opportunities with the Red Sox searching for answers in the starting rotation.

Red Sox's Kyle Hart: Added to starter mix
Rotowire
Hart walked one over two scoreless innings in Friday's spring game against the Twins.
Red Sox interim manager Ron Roenicke identified Hart as a candidate for a rotation spot prior to the left-hander's start Friday, according to Christopher Smith of MassLive.com. The Red Sox have two starting slots up for grabs heading into the regular season. One is a full-time gig made available when David Price was traded to the Dodgers, while the other is temporary as a replacement for Chris Sale (illness) who will begin the season on the injured list. The 27-year-old Hart is a command pitcher whose fastball lives in the upper-80s to low-90s.
