Mariners claim Ryan Weber off waivers from Braves

Ryan Weber’s tenure with the Atlanta Braves is over. The right hander was claimed by the Seattle Mariners in a handful of 40-man roster moves on Wednesday.

The Braves drafted Weber in the 22nd round of the 2009 MLB Draft. He made 16 appearances with Atlanta mostly in relief going 1-1 with a 5.45 ERA. He allowed 46 hits in 36 ¹⁄₃ innings. In his career, he was 1-4 with a 5.15 ERA in 21 career games.

Weber performed well for the most part at the Triple-A level but failed to make much of an impact with the major league club. With the Braves looking to clear room on the 40-man roster, Weber became expendable and was snatched up by the Mariners.
