PEORIA, Ariz. -- The Mariners cut down their camp roster to 40 players Sunday with five roster moves, optioning three players to Triple-A Tacoma and reassigning two more to Minor League camp.
The club optioned right-handed pitcher Jonathan Aro, left-hander David Rollins and catcher Steven Baron to Tacoma, and reassigned right-hander Adrian Sampson and infielder Ed Lucas to the Minor League side.
Lucas, a non-roster invitee who got Major League time with the Marlins in 2013-14, hit .290 in 31 at-bats and six runs scored in Cactus League play.
