Pregame: Mariners open up seven-game road trip vs. American League woes, Joe Wieland outrighted to Tacoma

The Mariners go with their standard left-handed heavy lineup for right-hander Kendall Graveman. They face Sonny Gray on Tuesday and rookie left-hander Sean Manaea on Wednesday afternoon.

Minor roster move

The Mariners made a minor roster move, removing right-hander Joe Wieland from the 40-man roster and outrighting him Class AAA Tacoma. That leaves the Mariners’ 40-man roster with an open space. There is no immediate corresponding move, but it gives Seattle an open spot if a move is needed.

To outright Wieland, the Mariners had to place him on waivers and have him clear the remaining 29 teams without being claimed.
