The Seattle Mariners signed right-hander Cody Anderson to a minor league contract Monday and invited him to spring training.

Anderson, 29, was drafted by Cleveland in 2011 and has spent parts of three major league seasons with the Indians.

He was 0-1 with a 9.35 ERA in 8 2/3 innings last season, striking out nine and walking eight batters.

Anderson missed the 2017 and 2018 seasons after undergoing Tommy John surgery. His 2019 season ended in May due to an injury that required surgery to repair a torn right forearm tendon.

He is 9-9 with a 4.76 ERA in 39 games (26 starts) since making his debut in 2016, with 107 strikeouts and 45 walks in 160 2/3 innings.
