Another day, another slate of roster moves for the Seattle Mariners. Today Seattle placed OF Taylor Trammell on the 10-day injured list and optioned 1B/3B Kevin Padlo to Triple-A Tacoma. In two corresponding additions, they’ve recalled UTIL Sam Haggerty and promoted, for the first time in his big league career, OF Marcus Wilson, adding him to the 40-man roster. To make a space for Wilson, Seattle shifted C Tom Murphy to the 60-day IL, as he has recently been forced to opt for season ending surgery on his shoulder.
It’s frustrating news for Trammell, whose almost miraculous return from a hamstring injury has been a godsend for Seattle amidst a deluge of injuries and ineffectiveness in their outfield corps.
