Continuing their carousel of roster moves this weekend, the Seattle Mariners made another expected transaction Saturday afternoon.
Right-handed reliever Mike Wright, who the Mariners acquired from Baltimore on Wednesday, reported to the club, and left-hander Justus Sheffield was optioned back to Triple-A Tacoma after working three innings in Friday night’s extra-innings win.
Mariners manager Scott Servais said he indicated to Wright that he might be needed as early as Saturday night’s third game against the Rangers.
