The Seattle Mariners, in a move to bolster a bullpen weakened by throwing six innings on Wednesday, recalled Emiliano Fruto from Tacoma and optioned Sean Green to the Rainiers.
Green had a 6.75 ERA and was tagged with three runs in Wednesday's 10-9, 11-inning win over the Minnesota Twins. Pitching coach Rafael Chaves said Green had pitched well but it was a matter of the Mariners needing help in the bullpen.
Fruto is making his second stint with the Mariners. In two appearances in May, he threw 4 2/3 innings without giving up a run.
