SEATTLE -- With an expanded roster to work with, the Mariners added outfielder Ben Gamel to the active roster and recalled catcher Jesus Sucre from Triple-A Tacoma Friday.
Seattle acquired the 24-year-old Gamel from the Yankees on Wednesday in exchange for Minor League pitchers Jio Orozco and Juan De Paula. Gamel, the International League MVP, hit .308 and scored 80 runs in 116 games with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. He also appeared in six games for the Yankees and got one hit and scored one run in eight at-bats.
Sucre came off the 60-day disabled on July 6 after having fractured his right fibula on Jan.
