[nfbwatlk] Mariners Reduce Roster to 55

[Prows, Bennett (HHS/OCR)]

Found this on Shannon Drayer's blog today:


Optioned to Triple-Tacoma: Danny Hultzen.

Optioned to Double-A Jackson: Anthony Fernandez, Julio Morban.

Re-assigned to minor-league camp: Jonathan Arias, Andrew Carraway, Stephen Kohlscheen, Mark Rogers, Chance Ruffin, James Gillheeney, John Hicks, Manuel Pina, Gabriel Noriega, Burt Reynolds.

Of note: Those optioned are on the 40-man roster while those re-assigned are not. There are a few injury guys included in the first cuts: Hultzen, Pina and Morban, who is still rehabbing after breaking his leg sliding into a base late last season.

A sign, spring training moving along. Go Mariners
