Samad Taylor News: Loses rosters spot

Taylor was designated for assignment by the Mariners on Thursday.

The Mariners acquired Yosver Zulueta from the Reds on Thursday, which created a need for a spot on the 40-man roster, and Taylor became the odd man out. The 27-year-old has primarily been stuck at Triple-A for the last four seasons, though he has picked up 83 plate appearances in the majors in that span.
