HOUSTON — The Mariners made a pair of roster moves to bring in fresh and healthy relievers for the four-game series with the Astros.
As expected, Seattle placed right-hander Sam Tuivailala on the 10-day disabled list with a strained right Achilles. He suffered the injury in a rundown in Wednesday’s 11-7 loss to the Rangers. The Mariners also optioned right-hander Chasen Bradford to Class AAA Tacoma after throwing multiple innings in the loss.
Seattle recalled right-handers Casey Lawrence and Nick Rumbelow to take their spots in the bullpen.
Lawrence, 30, is in his fourth stint with the Mariners this season (also: 3/31-4/9, 5/4-6 and 7/13-28).
