The Seattle Mariners recalled right-hander Dan Altavilla from Triple-A Tacoma on Friday, marking the reliever’s third tour with the team this season.
Altavilla allowed three runs in just two-thirds of an inning over two appearances with the Mariners this season. He was on the active roster for the team’s season-opening trip to Japan in March and was also called up in May. The 26-year old is 4-3 in 80 major league appearances, all in relief, with a 3.59 ERA.
A spot was opened on the Mariners’ roster late Thursday when right-hander Tayler Scott was optioned to Tacoma. Scott, who became the first major leaguer from South Africa when he made his debut June 8, appeared in five games and had a 9.39 ERA.
