Mariners designated INF/OF Mike Carp for assignment.
The move was made in order make room on the 40-man roster for Joe Saunders. Carp is coming off an injury-shortened season in 2012 when he batted just .213/.312/.341 in 59 games. The 26-year-old has some pop, though, and is likely to draw plenty of attention on waivers.
