Jon Heyman of CBS Sports confirms that the Mariners have signed outfielder Endy Chavez.

Chavez was released by the Royals on Friday after hitting just .188 with zero extra-base hits in 33 spring plate appearances. The 35-year-old is likely to open the 2013 season at Triple-A Tacoma, where he will act as organizational outfield depth for Seattle.

Chavez batted .273/.328/.342 with two home runs and 13 RBI in 54 games with the Mariners in 2009.

LOS ANGELES — Jeff Samardjiza has been placed on the 10-day injured list by the San Francisco Giants due to right shoulder impingement.

Manager Gabe Kapler said before Saturday’s game against the Los Angeles Dodgers that the right-hander told trainers and the coaching staff that he felt like wasn’t able to get the arm loose during Friday’s game. Samardjiza is scheduled to undergo an MRI on Saturday.

Samardjiza went four-plus innings and allowed six runs on seven hits in a 7-2 loss to the Dodgers. He is 0-2 with a 9.88 ERA in three starts.

The Giants have recalled left-hander Andrew Suarez from their alternate training site, but Kapler said he hasn’t finalized a revised starting rotation.
