https://rainierscurto.wordpress.com/201 ... -the-show/ROSTER MOVES: Suddenly hit with injuries in the infield, the Mariners have called up J.P. Crawford and Shed Long from Tacoma. They placed utility man Dylan Moore on the injured list and optioned reliever Chasen Bradford to Tacoma (just in time for a road trip to see the new ballpark in his hometown). Here in Tacoma: outfielder Eric Young Jr. has been placed on the injured list (thumb), outfielder Johnny Slater has been transferred to Class-A West Virginia so he can play regularly, and today the team is expected to add outfielder/catcher David Sheaffer from Double-A Arkansas, infielder Connor Kopach from Class-A Modesto, and outfielder Billy Cooke from extended spring training.
