SEATTLE — The Seattle Mariners sent a right-handed deliver to the Chicago Cubs on Tuesday in exchange for a minor league prospect.
Tyson Miller, 28, was a fourth-round pick by the Cubs in 2016. He had a 3.09 earned run average (ERA) in 11 2/3 innings with Seattle this season.
The Mariners acquired minor-league infielder Jake Slaughter from the Cubs.
Left-hander Richard Lovelady was designated for assignment by the Cubs to clear a spot on the 40-man roster. Lovelady was 0-1 with a 7.94 ERA with Chicago.
Miller has a 5.91 career ERA in 25 games with Chicago, Texas, Milwaukee, the Los Angeles Dodgers, New York Mets and Seattle.
The Cubs placed right-handed reliever Adbert Alzolay on the 15-day injured list Monday with a right forearm strain. Right-hander José Cuas was recalled from Triple-A Iowa.
