The Mariners make a bunch of moves to shake things up because hey why not nothing else seems to be working. Also so many of their pitchers are broken/tired/ineffective, wheeeeeeeee!
After injuries to Taijuan Walker and Adrian Sampson, we all knew some roster moves were coming. We just weren't sure exactly what that shakeup would look like. Now we do:
Big news from Scott Servais: Nori Aoki, Wilhelmsen to Triple-A. Sampson to DL. Activated are Wade LeBlanc, Donn Roach and David Rollins.

In a moderately surprising move, the M's have decided to option Norichika Aoki to Tacoma and roll with a short bench in order to add an extra arm to their bullpen.
