Mariners Place Speier on IL, Add Suarez & Simpson

The already injury-plagued Mariners took another hit as lefty Gabe Speier is going on the IL with left shoulder inflammation. LHP José Suarez, recently claimed off waivers from the Braves, has reported to the club, while Josh Simpson has been selected from Triple-A Tacoma. solvita.blog

Speier's performance has been inconsistent this season, with expected metrics all career-highs. To make room for Simpson, RHP Cole Wilcox was sent back to Triple-A. No further details are available yet about the severity of Speier's injury.
