The Seattle Mariners placed infielder/outfielder Rob Refsnyder on the paternity list Tuesday and selected the contract of infielder Patrick Wisdom from Triple-A Tacoma.

The Mariners designated right-hander Blas Castano for assignment to create a spot on the 40-man roster for Wisdom.

Refsnyder, 35, signed a one-year contract with Seattle in December. He is hitless in eight games and 16 at-bats this season, and is a career .252 hitter with 33 homers and 154 RBIs in 549 games with the New York Yankees (2015-17), Toronto Blue Jays (2017), Tampa Bay Rays (2018), Texas Rangers (2020), Minnesota Twins (2021), Boston Red Sox (2022-25) and Mariners.

Wisdom, 34, signed a minor league deal with Seattle in January after he was in the Chicago Cubs' organization since 2020. He leads all minor leaguers with nine home runs in 15 games at Tacoma. At the major league level, he has a .209 average, 88 homers and 207 RBIs in 455 games with the St. Louis Cardinals (2018), Rangers (2019) and Cubs.

Castano, 27, has made just one career major league appearance, allowing three runs on four hits over three innings in a 9-0 loss to the Washington Nationals on May 28, 2025.
