Mariners' Wade LeBlanc: Designated for assignment

LeBlanc was designated for assignment by the Mariners on Thursday.

Analysis:

The return of Taijuan Walker cost LeBlanc his spot in the Mariners' rotation, and the return of James Paxton from the disabled list will cost him his spot on the roster. LeBlanc held his own with the Mariners, posting a 4.50 ERA, 1.22 WHIP, and 41:9 K:BB over 11 appearances, so he could garner some interest on the waiver wire.
