The Seattle Mariners have claimed Luke Weaver off waivers from the Kansas City Royals.

In a corresponding move, outfielder Derek Hill was designated for assignment.

Weaver, 29, was a highly-touted prospect for the St. Louis Cardinals, who drafted him in 2014. He was a key piece of the trade that sent Paul Goldschmidt from the Arizona Diamondbacks to the Cardinals.

In 2022, Weaver had a 6.56 ERA and 38 strikeouts in 35 1/3 innings split between the Royals and Diamondbacks.
