With James Paxton exiting last night’s game after 17 pitches with an apparent back injury, some roster moves were anticipated for this lovely Friday, and here they are!
#Mariners recall Christian Bergman and Casey Lawrence, and select Mike Morin.
Seattle options Gordon Beckham and Nick Rumbelow to AAA Tacoma.
Seattle places James Paxton on the 10-day DL with lower back inflammation.
