The Mariners signed Tabor to a minor-league deal Monday, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports.
Tabor has been out of action over the past two years due to a blood clot removal and Tommy John surgery. His last full season was in 2021 when he managed to climb up to Triple-A Reno, posting a 3.88 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 26:15 K:BB over 51 innings while going 1-4 over eight starts with the Aces.

Diamondbacks' Matt Tabor: Tosses seven-inning no-no
Rotowire
Tabor threw a seven-inning no-hitter for Double-A Amarillo on Sunday, silencing San Antonio while striking out three and walking two.
A 2017 third-round pick, Tabor earned a promotion to Double-A at the beginning of June, and he's posted a 4.09 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 31:14 K:BB across 33 innings since. This was an impressive performance, and it's noteworthy that Tabor has shown the ability to pitch deep into games, having finished seven innings three times this year. That said, he doesn't have the most overwhelming stuff and his command is a work in progress. If it comes along, he could be a viable big-league starter.
