Now starting for your Seattle Mariners.... pitcher Erasmo Ramirez.
And still on the active roster, Ichiro.
That's because Seattle decided it wouldn't part with one of the franchise icons on Sunday in order to make way for Ramirez, who is coming off the disabled list after rehabbing a latissiumus dorsi strain that he suffered back in spring training. Instead, another outfielder, Guillmero Heredia, was optioned to Triple-A Tacoma.
Ramirez, 27, fills the role of the team's fifth starter previously played by Ariel Miranda, who started for the team on Tuesday. But because of the logjam of outfielders on the roster, it was Miranda who was optioned after the game instead of the team dealing with the issue of how to use five outfielders now that Ben Gamel is healthy and ready to occupy left field on a mostly full-time basis.
