When you allow 11 runs to an offense missing two of its key contributors, changes are bound to be made. That would be the case for the Mariners today, who designated two pitchers for assignment and demoted a third.
The busy day started with the addition of right-handed pitcher Andrew Moore, who returns to Seattle after being DFA’d by the San Francisco Giants as well as the Tampa Bay Rays before that. Moore has yet to pitch in the MLB this year, and has failed to help his case. In six appearances across Double-A and Triple-A, including five starts, Moore has posted an abysmal 14.
