Mariners Place Robles on IL, Bring Up Joe

0:00On April 8th, Seattle Mariners made a quick roster shuffle, placing outfielder Victor Robles on the 10-day injure list with a right-pextrain. They brought up Connor Joe from AAA Tacoma to fill the spot. The Robles move goes retroactive to Tuesday and dropped right before their game in Texas. Robles has been hitting just 231 over five games with a team, so his absence hits the outfield early in the season. Meanwhile, they shifted right-hander Carlos Vargas from the 15-day to the 60-day injured list due to a right-late strain locking him out. Longer Joe brings versatility, covering first base and the corners in the minors, though he hit 186 and 42 games split between Cincinnati. And San Diego last year, Mariners hoping he steps up now.
