Kade Anderson Set for MLB Debut Saturday with Mariners vs. Cubs
Seattle promotes its top pitching prospect, skipping Triple-A entirely, as the club eyes a potential six-man rotation.
The Mariners are promoting Kade Anderson, the consensus top pitching prospect in baseball, to make his MLB debut Saturday against the Cubs. Anderson dominated Double-A Arkansas this season with a 1.06 ERA and 41% strikeout rate across 18 starts. Bryan Woo, originally slated to start Saturday, is expected to be pushed back to Sunday. To open a 40-man roster spot, Seattle plans to transfer Matt Brash to the 60-day IL due to a lat strain.
