OAKLAND — With Mitch Haniger’s right wrist hurting and Jean Segura’s left shoulder ailing, the Mariners had no choice but to make a roster move on Wednesday afternoon to make sure they had enough position players to make it through the remaining two-game series with the A’s and possibly beyond.
Seattle selected the minor league contract of outfielder John Andreoli from Class AAA Tacoma and added him to the 40-man and active roster. To make room for Andreoli, right-handed reliever Dan Altavilla was optioned to Tacoma. The addition of Andreoli puts the Mariners’ 40-man roster full. But they can move pitcher David Phelps to the 60-day disabled list if they need to open another spot.
