SEATTLE -- Vidal Nuno has been a man of many roles out of the bullpen this season.
In 18 games with the D-backs and Mariners, he has appeared in both long relief spots and brief lefty-on-lefty situations. Recently, however, in the absence of Seattle reliever Charlie Furbush, who has been on the disabled list since July 9 with left biceps tendinitis, Nuno has been more of a setup man.
It's a temporary role, one that will likely return to Furbush when he is activated off the disabled list, but Mariners manager Lloyd McClendon has liked what he's seen.
