Mariners fetch in Wright from Orioles

The Seattle Mariners acquired right-hander Mike Wright from the Baltimore Orioles on Wednesday for a minor-league infielder. Wright, 29, was designated for assignment by Baltimore on Sunday after going 0-1 with one save and a 9.45 ERA in 10 relief appearances.

In five seasons with the Orioles, Wright compiled a 10-12 record with a 5.95 ERA and 192 strikeouts in 242 innings. The Mariners shipped 22-year-old Ryne Ogren to Baltimore in return. He is batting .146 with one home run and three RBIs in 11 games at Class A West Virginia.
