The Yankees recalled Marinaccio from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Saturday, YES Network reports.

The Yankees DFA'd Josh Maciejewski on Saturday to create room on the 40-man roster for Kevin Smith, so Marinaccio will come up to as Maciejewski's replacement in the bullpen. The 28-year-old righty logged a 3.99 ERA and 1.31 WHIP across 47.1 innings last season in the majors, and he has yet to allow a run through five Triple-A frames this year.

The Yankees designated Maciejewski for assignment Saturday, YES Network reports.

Less than a week after being selected from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, Maciejewski will head back to the minors and lose his roster spot after making just one appearance with the Yankees. The 28-year-old southpaw has not allowed a run and has struck out five batters through 4.2 Triple-A innings.

Carrasco (0-1) took the loss in Game 1 of Saturday's doubleheader against the Yankees after giving up a run on five hits and five walks over 4.2 innings. He struck out two.

The veteran right-hander allowed at least one baserunner in every inning he pitched, though he was able to limit the damage to a single run despite all the traffic. Carrasco has failed to last five frames in his last two starts, though he still has a solid 3.66 ERA for the season. His 1.66 WHIP and 11:9 K:BB are less encouraging, however.

The Yankees placed Berti on the 10-day injured list Saturday with an adductor injury, Erik Boland of Newsday reports.

Berti is slashing .211/.250/.211 across 21 plate appearances to start the season, and he will now be unavailable for at least the next 10 days. Kevin Smith was selected from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre in a corresponding move in order to make up for lost depth in the Yankees' infield.

Haggerty (undisclosed) continues on a rehab assignment with Triple-A Tacoma, and the utility man is likely to remain there for at least a few more games per general manager Justin Hollander, SeattleSports.com reports.

Haggerty dealt with a non-baseball-related medical issue in the latter portion of spring training and began the regular season on the 15-day injured list. The 29-year-old has been making good use of his at-bats with Tacoma, producing a .375/.444/.438 slash line across 18 plate appearances over five games. Hollander noted the Mariners would like Haggerty to still get some more minor-league at-bats before being activated "at some point," considering he missed a significant portion of the Cactus League slate.

Holmes allowed a hit and struck out two in a scoreless ninth inning to earn the save in Game 1 of Saturday's doubleheader at Cleveland.

The right-hander entered with a 3-2 lead and looked to be in trouble after giving up a leadoff double, but Holmes struck out the next two batters on 10 pitches before inducing a groundout to end the contest. The 31-year-old is now 6-for-7 in save chances this season, though he didn't allow any runs in the blown save. In fact, Holmes has yet to surrender an earned run through seven outings this season. With Holmes, Caleb Ferguson and Ian Hamilton all pitching in the matinee Saturday, Victor Gonzalez could be the favorite to step in for a save chance in Game 2, should one arise.

Snider (knee) is "moving around a lot better" per Mariners general manager Justin Hollander, and the reliever could be ready to return from the injured list when first eligible April 23, SeattleSports.com reports.

Snider went on the IL on Monday after taking a triple-digit comebacker off his left knee the day prior against the Brewers. However, it appears Snider is making a quick recovery, and Hollander noted Friday he expects the reliever will be able to complete a short rehab assignment within the next few days.

Schmidt (1-0) earned the win in Game 1 of Saturday's doubleheader against the Guardians, allowing two runs (one earned) on three hits and five walks over five innings. He struck out seven.

Schmidt issued at least three walks for the second straight game but otherwise pitched well at Cleveland with 13 swinging strikes on 85 pitches. The right-hander also set a season high in strikeouts, and he's given up three runs or fewer in each of his first three outings of the campaign. Schmidt will carry a 3.68 ERA, 1.64 WHIP and 16:8 K:BB over 14.1 innings into his next start, which is likely to come versus Tampa Bay next weekend.

Santos (lat) has progressed to throwing from 75 feet and could soon up his distance to 105 feet, SeattleSports.com reports.

General manager Justin Hollander noted Friday that the hope is Santos will be able to boost that distance at some point in the coming week, after which he'd progress to throwing off a mound. Hollander added the team would continue to be "somewhat conservative" with the right-hander's recovery, which eventually is expected to culminate in a lengthy rehab assignment given he missed the entirety of the Cactus League slate.

Bazardo (shoulder) is set for a live batting practice session Saturday, SeattleSports.com reports.

Mariners general manager Justin Hollander provided the update on the 28-year-old right-hander, who's been sidelined with a right rotator cuff strain since early in spring training. Hollander noted the team is being cautious with the pace of Bazardo's recovery, but he added the reliever was doing well overall and would be re-evaluated after Saturday's session to determine next steps.
