Nationals signed RHP Dan Cortes to a minor league contract.

Cortes was non-tendered by the Mariners last month after posting an ugly 5.91 ERA in 10 2/3 major league innings during the 2011 season. The 24-year-old right-hander will act as organizational relief depth for the Nats.

Mariners non-tendered RHP Dan Cortes.

Cortes, 24, wasn't even arbitration-eligible this winter, but the move makes him a free agent. The hard-throwing right-hander had a disappointing 5.91 ERA and 3/6 K/BB ratio in 10 2/3 innings with the M's this past season. He had surgery in late October to repair a partial tear of rotator cuff and biceps tendon, so his status for spring training is in some doubt. Still, some team will surely take a chance once he proves his health.

Daniel Cortes has been shut down for the rest of the season due to a broken right hand.

Cortes suffered the injury Thursday in an "off-field incident," according to the Mariners' public relations people. He should be back to throwing in about a month and should be fine by spring training next February.

Mariners activated RHP Daniel Cortes from the 15-day disabled list.

Cortes had been sidelined since August 23 with a left ankle sprain. He'll return to a 3.48 ERA and 1.45 WHIP and will give the Mariners their ninth right-handed reliever.

Mariners placed RHP Dan Cortes on the 15-day disabled list with a bruised left ankle.

The move clears the way for left-hander Anthony Vazquez to pitch the night cap. Cortes injured his ankle in the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader and was likely to miss a couple days, anyway. The 24-year-old right-hander should return as soon as he's eligible in September.

Dan Cortes left Tuesday's game against the Indians in the seventh inning with an ankle injury.

Cortes walked two over two-thirds of an inning and was charged with a run after Jamey Wright allowed an inherited runner to score. The Mariners need to clear a spot for Anthony Vazquez on the active roster before the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader, so Cortes could be the one to go.

Mariners recalled RHP Daniel Cortes from Triple-A Tacoma.

Cortes tossed a scoreless inning in his lone appearance with the big club back in May. He's struck out 45 in 37 innings for Tacoma but also posted a 5.35 ERA while walking 6.6 per nine innings. The righty will work the middle innings.

Mariners optioned RHP Daniel Cortes to Triple-A Tacoma.

Mariners optioned RHP Daniel Cortes to Triple-A Tacoma.

Cortes allowed two runs and walked five in four Cactus League innings this spring. He'll be one of the Mariners' first call-ups if things aren't going well in middle relief at the big league level. Or if there's an injury.

Mariners recalled RHP Daniel Cortes from Triple-A Tacoma.

Daniel Cortes surrendered four runs and seven hits in three innings Thursday for Surprise of the AFL.

Cortes has allowed nine runs and 14 hits in 4 2/3 innings to date. The 21-year-old right-hander entered the season right there with Luke Hochevar as the Royals' top pitching prospect, and he was pretty solid in the Texas League, finishing 10-4 with a 3.78 ERA, 103 H and 109/55 K/BB in 116 2/3 IP. He shouldn't be fatigured after such a modest workload.
