The Seattle Mariners on Sunday night released veteran second baseman Rickie Weeks. The team designated Weeks for assignment last week.
Weeks started at second for the Milwaukee Brewers for nearly a decade, but lost the job to Scooter Gennett.
He signed a one-year deal worth about $2 million with the Mariners. In 84 at-bats, he hit .167 with two homers and 9 RBIs for the Pirates.
