ANAHEIM -- Newly acquired reliever Sam Tuivailala was added to the Mariners roster on Sunday, with Casey Lawrence optioned to Triple-A Tacoma to make room.
Tuivailala joins the Mariners bullpen after being obtained from the Cardinals in a trade for Minor League reliever Seth Elledge on Friday. The 25-year-old was 3-3 with a 3.69 ERA in 31 2/3 innings over 31 games for the Cardinals this season.
"I'm happy that I'm finally here," Tuivailala said. "I was super eager to get into the clubhouse, see the guys and meet everyone.
