Marjama appeared in 10 major-league games during the 2018 campaign, although he struggled to a .111 batting average with three doubles. He'll step away from the game to take a job with the National Eating Disorders Association, per Johns.

Marjama has been in Tacoma since April 20, where he's slashing .247/.302/.424 with 16 extra-base hits (nine doubles, two triples, five home runs) and 23 RBI over 43 games. The 28-year-old catcher is likely to remain in the minors unless injuries strike at the big-league level, as the Mariners have displayed a preference for David Freitas or Chris Herrmann as Mike Zunino's backup this season.

With Mike Zunino returning from his oblique injury, the Mariners had one too many catchers. Marjama will lose the backup job to David Freitas despite beating him out for a roster spot in spring training. Marjama's .111/.172/.222 line so far this season is far worse than Freitas' .286/.355/.429, so the demotion seems to be well-earned.

Marjama will head back to the bench after going 1-for-4 with a double during Tuesday's contest. In his place, David Freitas draws the start and will bat ninth in the order.
