Needing a reliever to fill in for the injured Rafael Soriano, the Mariners recalled Emiliano Fruto from Triple-A Tacoma on Friday.
Fruto, 22, has made 14 appearances out of the bullpen for Seattle in 2006. In 46 innings, he has allowed 12 runs, struck out 19 batters and held his opponents to a .286 average. This will be Fruto's fourth stint with Seattle this season, having had three prior recalls.
Fruto was optioned to the Rainiers on Aug. 4 and posted a 0-2 record, two saves and a 3.55 ERA (5ER/12.2IP) in eight appearances with Tacoma. Overall, he's notched a 1-3 record, 3.18 ERA (16 ER/45.1IP) and 10 saves in 28 games this season at Tacoma.
The Mariners lost Soriano when he was hit in the head by a line drive off the bat of Vladimir Guerrero on Tuesday. The day before, reliever Julio Mateo broke a bone in his left hand in a weight lifting accident.
