Seattle Mariners pitcher James Paxton, not surprising, was placed on the 10-day disabled list on Wednesday with a bruised pitching arm.
Replacing Paxton on the roster is pitcher Christian Bergman, who was recalled from Triple-A Tacoma. Bergman has made two spot starts for the Mariners this season, going 0-1 with a 3.97 ERA in 11 1/3 innings. With the Rainiers, he’s pitched in 23 games (22 starts) with a 7-9 record and a 5.44 ERA in 124 innings.
Paxton was hit on the left forearm by a line drive off the bat of Jed Lowrie, the third batter in the bottom of the first inning of Tuesday’s game in Oakland.
