OAKLAND -- Mariners left-hander James Paxton was placed on the 10-day disabled list on Wednesday after being knocked out of Tuesday's start in the first inning with a bruised left forearm, courtesy of a line drive off the bat of the A's Jed Lowrie.
Seattle recalled right-hander Christian Bergman from Triple-A Tacoma to take Paxton's roster spot. Bergman provides a long-relief option with Felix Hernandez having pitched 5 2/3 innings in place of Paxton in his first career relief appearance in Tuesday night's 3-2 loss to the A's.
