May 24 3:17pAndino was designated for assignment, as opposed to waived outright as was previously reported, the Seattle Times reports.
ImpactThe distinction is minor in the grand scheme of things, but this way the Mariners can add Jesus Sucre, called up to replace Jesus Montero, to the 40-man roster now instead of waiting the required 48 hours until Andino cleared or was claimed off waivers. Replacing Andino will be Carlos Triunfel.
