OAKLAND -- Some of the Mariners' reinforcements for the final month arrived on Saturday, as the club added six players as September callups and also reinstated left-hander James Paxton from the 10-day disabled list.
The club bolstered its bullpen by adding relievers Chasen Bradford, Ryan Cook, James Pazos and Justin Grimm from Triple-A Tacoma, while also promoting catcher David Freitas and newly acquired utility player Kristopher Negron.
Grimm and Negron had to be added to the 40-man roster, so Christian Bergman was outrighted to Tacoma after clearing waivers and fellow right-hander Rob Whalen was designated for assignment to open spots.
