Back in majors
Berroa was recalled from Double-A Arkansas on Sunday, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.
ANALYSIS
Berroa quickly return to the minors after making his major-league debut in late July, but he'll rejoin the big-league club for the final game of the season. The right-hander is one of the organization's top prospects and is a strong bet to be used out of the bullpen Sunday with the Mariners out of the playoff pitcture.

Summoned to majors
Berroa was recalled from Double-A Arkansas on Wednesday, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.
ANALYSIS
Berroa has offered a mixed bag this season at Arkansas, posting a 2.93 ERA with 69 strikeouts over 46 innings but also 31 walks. Big strikeout totals and lots of free passes are nothing new for the hard-throwing right-hander, and the Mariners will be hoping the 23-year-old provides more of the former in his first big-league stint.

Moving to relief
Berroa has transitioned to a relief role with Double-A Arkansas, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.
ANALYSIS
The 23-year-old righty opened the year in the Double-A rotation, but after walking 19 batters and giving up 13 earned runs in 22.2 innings across five starts, Seattle will look to fast-track him as a reliever. Berroa, who is already on the 40-man roster, has a premium fastball/slider combination that could play up in a high-leverage role, assuming he can throw enough strikes.

Will be in Double-A rotation
Berroa will be part of the rotation at Double-A Arkansas to begin the season, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Berroa impressed this spring to the point that Mariners manager Scott Servais said he expects the hard-throwing right-hander to help the major-league club in 2023. That could be as a reliever, but he will continue to develop as a starter for the time being.

Optioned to Double-A
Berroa was optioned Tuesday to Double-A Arkansas by the Mariners, SShannon Drayer of Seattle Sports 710 AM reports.
ANALYSIS
Berroa impressed during the spring camp, but the right-hander was never a real option to make the Mariners out of spring training. The right-hander will be a part of the Arkansas rotation, and he has a chance to be a part of the Seattle staff before the end of 2023 with 2024 a more likely ETA.

Shielded from Rule 5 draft
Berroa was added to Seattle's 40-man roster Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
The move means Berroa won't be available in the Rule 5 draft. While Berroa is now a step closer to his big-league debut, it's unlikely he pushes for a spot on the Opening Day roster. He's yet to reach the Triple-A level, and while he struck out 35.6 percent of opposing batters in nine starts for Double-A Arkansas, he also walked 16.8 percent, more than double the major-league average.
