Werth (hamstring) told Jon Heyman of Fancred Sports that his career has come to an end, officially retiring from professional baseball.
EDGE Analysis
Werth announced his retirement while on the 7-day disabled list with Triple-A Tacoma. He stated to Heyman that he knew his career was over when he walked off the field for the last time against Nashville on June 8. The veteran outfielder had been hitting just .206 with a .686 OPS in 36 games for the Rainiers this season. Over the course of his major-league career, Werth finished with a career slash line of .267/.360/.455 with 229 home runs and 799 RBI across 1,583 games and helped the Phillies win the World Series in 2008.

Werth is unavailable for Wednesday's minor-league matchup due to a hamstring strain, the Tacoma Rainiers broadcaster Mike Curto reports.
EDGE Analysis
Werth has a "very, very mild hamstring strain" according to Triple-A Tacoma's manager, Pat Listach. While he's unavailable for Wednesday's game, he's not expected to miss an extended period of time. Werth is batting just .193 with four home runs and 10 RBI through 24 games at Triple-A.

Werth went 0-for-3 with a walk in his debut for Triple-A Tacoma on Wednesday, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Werth signed a minor-league deal with the Mariners on March 27, and he'd subsequently spent multiple weeks in extended spring training while working out the kinks. The veteran outfielder is likely to remain with the Rainiers as organizational depth for the time being unless injuries strike the outfield at the big-league level.

Werth agreed to a minor-league deal with the Mariners on Tuesday, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Werth will remain in extended spring training to get in shape before reporting to Triple-A Tacoma. The 38-year-old is very much in the twilight of his career, having fallen below replacement level according to fWAR in two of the past three seasons. The Mariners are down one outfielder to start the year, with Ben Gamel on the disabled list with a strained oblique, but they seemed to have solved that issue by bringing in another aging outfielder in Ichiro Suzuki. Werth is unlikely to displace the franchise legend, but could be up at some point in the season if more injuries strike Seattle's outfield.

Werth is not in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Pirates, Dan Kolko of MASN Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Werth will get the night off after starting four of the previous five contests, struggling to a .188/.278/.250 line in 16 at-bats over that stretch. Howie Kendrick will start in left field and hit fifth in his stead.

Werth is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets.
EDGE Analysis
The Nationals have again chosen to rest some of their veteran regulars Sunday, so Werth will head to the bench in favor of Victor Robles in right field. The 38-year-old is hitting just 5-for-50 during the month of September and his average sits at a season-low .226.

Werth is not in the lineup Friday against the Mets, Dan Kolko of MASN Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Manager Dusty Baker elected to give most of the regulars a day off, so Werth will head to the bench for the first time since Sept. 12. In his place, Rafael Bautista earns a start in right while Alejandro De Aza is set to man left for the series opener.

Werth (shoulder) is back in the lineup for Wednesday's game against Atlanta, Chelsea Janes of The Washington Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Werth is back in the lineup for the first time since Sept. 6, as he's been dealing with a shoulder injury for the past week. He will set up in right field while batting seventh for Wednesday's contest. Since returning from the DL (toe) on Aug. 28, Werth is hitting .107/.161/.250 with one home run and five RBI in eight games.
