SAN DIEGO – Seattle Mariners Executive Vice President & General Manager of Baseball Operations Justin Hollander announced today the following roster moves:

Wisdom, 34, leads all of Minor League Baseball this season with 9 home runs. In 15 games with Triple-A Tacoma, he’s batting .264 (14x53) with 11 runs, 9 homers, 17 RBI and 9 walks, getting on base at a .371 clip, slugging .774 with a 1.145 OPS in 62 plate appearances.

When Wisdom first appears in a game, it will mark his regular season Mariners debut. The infielder spent parts of 2020 in the Mariners organization after he signed with Seattle on Nov. 27, 2019. He appeared at Mariners Spring Training in 2020, and also the Mariners alternate training site that year, before he was released on Aug. 14, 2020.

In parts of 7 Major League seasons with the Cardinals (2018), Rangers (2019) and Cubs (2020-24), Wisdom is a .209 hitter (274x1311) with 192 runs, 58 doubles, 3 triples, 88 home runs, 207 RBI and 132 walks, slugging .459 with a .750 OPS. He registered three 20+ home run seasons with the Cubs from 2021-23. In 2025, Wisdom played for the Kia Tigers in South Korea, registering 35 homers and 85 RBI in 119 games.

Wisdom has participated in charitable causes off the field, which includes supporting St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. Wisdom was the Cubs “Roberto Clemente Award” nominee in 2024.

Refsnyder, 35, signed a 1-year Major League contract with the Mariners on Dec. 22, 2025. He’s appeared in 8 games for Seattle early-on, going hitless in 16 at-bats with 3 walks. Refsnyder has appeared in parts of 11 Major League seasons with the Yankees (2015-17), Blue Jays (2017), Rays (2018), Rangers (2020), Twins (2021), Red Sox (2022-25) and Mariners (2026-c).

Castaño (cah-STAHN-yo), 27, was designated for assignment to clear room on the 40-man roster for Wisdom. In one relief appearance for the Mariners last season, he tossed 3.0 innings and allowed 3 runs with 1 strikeout. Castaño was selected to the 40-man roster on Nov. 4, 2024.
