The Mariners played some dreadful baseball this weekend, getting swept by the Padres, and now have to face a Chicago White Sox team they just dropped a series to. My vibes, please, they are very sick.

Get called up, get to be in the lineup graphic.

You’ve probably already seen the news about the Mariners calling up their top prospect Colt Emerson, but the team also made a slew of roster moves today, most notably optioning Leo Rivas to Tacoma and swapping him with infielder Patrick Wisdom. They also swapped a righty reliever in Domingo Gonzalez for a lefty, Robinson Ortiz. Finally, the Mariners added Brennan Davis to the 40-man roster. Davis had a clause in his contract where he was able to opt out if the Mariners didn’t put him on their 40-man by this weekend and sign with a different organization that would, but the Mariners wanted to keep the right-handed hitting outfielder in the organization.

As another note, today Dan Wilson confirmed that the Mariners will indeed be using a “piggyback start” with Bryce Miller and Luis Castillo. Miller will start, and Castillo will come in from the bullpen.
