Mariners make a slew of roster moves: Sam Gaviglio recalled, Thyago Vieira sent to Tacoma

The Mariners made another series of roster moves before Tuesday’s game. They:

  • selected left-handed pitcher Andrew Albers from Triple-A Tacoma to start Tuesday’s game. Albers, 31, is making his first big-league start of the season.
  • recalled right-handed pitcher Sam Gaviglio from Tacoma.
  • optioned Casey Lawrence and rookie Thyago Vieira to Tacoma. Vieira made his major-league debut on Monday night and spent one day in the majors.
  • designated veteran pitcher Christian Bergman for assignment.

The moves only continue the Mariners’ shuffling of the pitching staff after Yovani Gallardo lasted only four innings on Monday.
