- Yesterday was quite a busy day in Mariners roster moves as the team shuffled multiple players around due to injuries. Among them were Shed Long, who was transferred to the 60-day IL as he continues rehabbing his right shin, and Jake Fraley, who was added to the 10-day IL with right shoulder inflammation. Wyatt Mills also re-joined the big league club after being recalled from Tacoma.
