The Seattle Mariners have made a plethora of moves ahead of Game 3 of the 4-game set against the Baltimore Orioles. Seattle has taken both of the first two games of the series, aiming to earn the series win on Wednesday in just a few hours.
The Mariners have scored 12 runs so far in the series, continuing their hot play as one of the rising teams in the entire league right now. Thanks to the Mariners’ PR account, they have shared all the roster moves on Wednesday.
- “Miles Mastrobuoni, INF/OF, reinstated from 60-day IL.
- Domingo González, RHP, recalled from Triple-A Tacoma.
- Ryan Bliss, INF, optioned to Triple-A Tacoma.
- Matt Brash, placed on 15-day IL (right lat strain, retroactive to June 9)
- Yosver Zulueta, RHP, designated for assignment.”
“The Mariners 40-man roster remains full at 40 players.”
Matt Brash headlines that list as a key bullpen arm. In 20 appearances this season, Brash owns a key 0.54 ERA and 0.84 WHIP. He has 15 strikeouts in 16.2 innings. This is now the second time this season that Brash is headed to the IL, as he did back on April 29 after throwing only two pitches against the Minnesota Twins. The right-hander has allowed just one run this season, and it came against the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Miles Mastrobuoni played 76 games with the Mariners last season, hitting .250 with a .620 OPS. After missing all of this season so far, he has now been reinstated as a likely bench piece.
Domingo Gonzalez will give the bullpen an extra arm with Brash on the IL, and infielder Ryan Bliss heads to Triple-A to make room for Mastrobouni on the bench and as infield depth. Yosver Zulueta will be placed on waivers with his future up in the air.
Catcher Cal Raleigh is set to return to the team very soon after his elite play in Triple-A.
First pitch for Game 3 is at 6:35 ET.
