"We are saddened by the passing of Seattle native and former Mariners' pitcher Mike Campbell. Our hearts go out to his family and loved ones," the team said in a statement shared on social media. 

Online records from the King County Medical Examiner's Office showed that Campbell died Monday at his home. His cause of death was listed as pending. 

Injuries to his throwing arm marred much of his career, and he retired from the game in 1999 after stints in independent and international leagues.
