SEATTLE — Erik Swanson was back in the Seattle Mariners clubhouse Sunday morning after another brief stay in Triple-A Tacoma.
The 25-year-old rookie right-hander, who came out of the bullpen to make his MLB debut with the Mariners last week in Kansas City, is the apparent replacement for injured starter Wade LeBlanc.
“Knowing that I’m coming back up here, obviously I wish it was under different circumstances,” Swanson said.
