Mariners Re-Sign Yusmeiro Petit

The Mariners re-signed pitcher Yusmeiro Petit, reports Baseball America's Matt Eddy.  Eddy says the Ms released Petit on March 17th but re-signed him four days later.

Petit was claimed off waivers from the Diamondbacks by the Mariners in November.  He was designated for assignment in February to make room for Erik Bedard, and cleared waivers a few days later.  The 25-year-old posted a 5.82 ERA, 7.4 K/9, and 3.4 BB/9 in 89.6 innings for Arizona last year, allowing 19 home runs.
