SEATTLE -- With the American League West-leading Astros in town for a three-game series, the Mariners are expected to make several roster moves prior to Monday's opener.
Shortstop Jean Segura will return from a three-day paternity leave and the club is also planning to promote outfielder Ben Gamel from Triple-A Tacoma, with Guillermo Heredia telling Marly Rivera of ESPN Deportes that he was being sent down to Tacoma after Sunday's 12-1 loss to the Dodgers.
The return of Segura and Gamel should help an offense that was outscored 27-7 in the three-game series against the Dodgers while Segura was missing.
