Farquhar was recalled from Triple-A Tacoma on Thursday, Bob Dutton of the Tacoma News Tribune reports.

The Mariners made a series of moves Thursday afternoon, and Farquhar will return from Tacoma for the first time in nearly a month. In 22 appearances for Seattle on the year, Farquhar has struggled, posting a 6.49 ERA across 26.1 innings.

Farquhar was optioned to Triple-A Tacoma on Sunday, Bob Dutton of the Tacoma News Tribune reports.

Farquhar was recalled Saturday, and pitched both Saturday in Sunday. While his outing Saturday (2 innings, two walks and two strikeouts) went pretty well, he lasted just 0.2 innings Sunday, allowing two runs on two hits. He will return to Triple-A Tacoma, while the club is expected to make a corresponding move Monday.

Farquhar was recalled from Triple-A Tacoma, the Tacoma News Tribune's Bob Dutton reports.

He has dismal numbers at Triple-A and the majors this season, but the Mariners will add him to the bullpen mix nonetheless. At one point Farquhar was considered the next guy in line if Fernando Rodney lost his job as the closer, but Carson Smith is now the guy to own in the Mariners' bullpen.

Farquhar will receive the start for Triple-A Tacoma on Tuesday, Bob Dutton of the Tacoma News Tribune reports.

With the Mariners already down two rotation members in James Paxton (finger) and Hisashi Iwakuma (shoulder) for at least the next few weeks, it looks like the team will attempt to stretch out Farquhar and see if he can cut it as a starter. Though he submitted a stellar season last season out of Seattle's bullpen, Farquhar was banished to the minors after posting a 6.46 ERA and 1.56 WHIP over 23.2 innings thus far in 2015, but he'll get a chance to restore some value if he can prove to be an effective starter at Tacoma. The 28-year-old has not started a game at any point as a professional, so it's difficult to project what kind of results he may be capable of delivering.

Farquhar was optioned to Triple-A Tacoma following Monday's game.

This move means that Carson Smith has unofficially become Fernando Rodney's handcuff. The 28-year-old Farquhar didn't pitch Monday, but has been knocked around for seven runs in his last three appearances, prompting the Mariners to make the move. Farquhar was aces out of the Seattle bullpen last year, but has seen his strikeout rate fall dramatically this season. On the bright side, the peripherals suggest he's seen a little bad luck, and he could make his way back to the Mariners if he can turn things around in the minors. Seattle is expected to activate Austin Jackson in a corresponding move.

Farquhar was knocked around for the second night in a row Tuesday, allowing two runs on two hits and two walks with in one inning against the Astros.

Farquhar allowed two runs Monday to break a 5-5 tie. Tuesday he came in with two on and gave up a walk, single and bases-clearing double to blow a 3-2 lead. Farquhar's been inconsistent thus far. He's only had two clean outings in eight appearances.

Farquhar had a rocky season debut Monday, giving up two hits in a third of an inning in an Opening Day win against the Angels.

After lefty Charlie Furbush got an out, right-hander Carson Smith struck out Mike Trout to end the eighth-inning threat. Farquhar started slowly last year too, so he'll probably be all right (and, of course, this is only one game). However, it's worth keeping an eye on how Farquhar and the power-arm Smith are used. Farquhar is the closer-in-waiting to Fernando Rodney, but it's not out of the question that he could be jumped by Smith if his struggles last.

Farquhar has not allowed a run in his last four spring outings after giving up three in his first two.

Farquhar is usually a slow starter in spring training, and this year was no different. He's struck out five and walked two in 5.2 innings. Farquhar, who had 16 saves in 2013, likely will close if Fernando Rodney goes down.

Farquhar would most likely be called upon in a save situation Monday, with Fernando Rodney unavailable, 710 ESPN's Shannon Drayer reports.

Rodney has pitched in three straight games, and is therefore unavailable Monday. Farquhar will return to his setup role Tuesday.

Farquhar (arm) said after Thursday's game that he should be fine, Ryan Divish of the Seattle Times reports.

Farquhar took a line drive off his pitching arm during Thursday's game, but he seems to have escaped the incident with nothing more than a bad bruise. While he won't necessarily be available Friday, the right-hander will likely avoid a stint on the disabled list. He has been highly effective out of the Seattle bullpen this season, posting a 2:49 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 52:15 K:BB over 47 innings, albeit with just one save and nine holds.

Farquhar was removed from Thursday's game after a batted ball hit him in the right arm, Shannon Drayer of 710 AM Seattle reports.

Prior to leaving the game, Farquhar gave up one hit and retired one batter. Should the injury turn out to be serious, it would be a significant blow to the strong Seattle bullpen.

Danny Farquhar returned to action on Monday July 21.

Danny Farquhar is unavailable Sunday due to tenderness in his pitching elbow.

The reliever said that he could pitch, but he understands the Mariners wanting to play it safely. Consider Farquhar day-to-day for the time being.

Danny Farquhar allowed three runs in a third of an inning against the Indians in Wednesday's 8-5 loss.

Farquhar was credited with the loss after allowing a double, a triple, a single, and a walk. His defense didn't help him out either. Farquhar will set up for Fernando Rodney and should be a solid source of holds and saves throughout the year.

Danny Farquhar held the Padres scoreless in the ninth inning as the Mariners emerged victorious 7-1 on Thursday.

Farquhar struck out one in his only inning of work. He is expected to set up for closer Fernando Rodney. The strikeouts should come in bunches for the right-hander.

Danny Farquhar earned his 12th save with a perfect ninth inning against the Royals on Wednesday.

Farquhar took his second loss on August 27 but has responded with three straight scoreless appearances, allowing just two baserunners in those three innings. Along with the 12 saves, the right-hander owns a 71/17 K/BB ratio over 47 1/3 innings.

Danny Farquhar recorded his 10th save Thursday with a scoreless ninth against the Astros.

Farquhar walked one before striking out Chris Carter and inducing a double-play ball from Brett Wallace to end the game. He was making his first appearance since losing a game due to a balk on Tuesday.

Danny Farguhar gave up the go-ahead run on a balk and a took a loss Tuesday versus the Rangers.

The balk was far from obvious, but C.B. Bucknor though something moved and awarded Ian Kinsler the plate. Farquhar had gotten into trouble by allowing back-to-back singles with one out, but he probably would have escaped the inning if not for the balk call.

Danny Farquhar picked up his ninth save by striking out the side in the ninth Wednesday against the A's.

Since his meltdown a week ago in which he retired none of the five hitters he's faced, Farquhar has pitched four perfect innings, striking out seven. That loss to Tampa Bay is still his only blown save in 10 tries since he assumed the closer's role.

Danny Farquhar locked down Tuesday's win against the A's by hurling a perfect ninth inning to earn his eighth save of the season.

Farquhar struck out two, his third multi-strikeout game in his last five appearances. The right-hander boasts a 2.16 ERA and 12/1 K/BB ratio in 8 1/3 innings since he took over the closer's job in early August. If he keeps pitching like this, Farquhar will remain Seattle's closer until season's end.
