Mariners call up Moore

The Seattle Mariners have called up Andrew Moore, one of their top pitching prospects in the minors. Seattle made the surprising move Wednesday, selecting the 23-year-old right-hander from Class AAA Tacoma. Christian

Bergman, who has started eight games for Seattle due to injuries in the rotation, was optioned to Tacoma while Tyler Cloyd was designated for assignment. Moore began the year with the Class AA Arkansas Travelers. He quickly earned a promotion to Class AAA, and was 3-1 with a 3.19 ERA and 44 strikeouts in 8 starts at Tacoma. Moore may slot into a Seattle rotation that is still in flux with Felix

Hernandez returning Friday from the disabled list, Hisashi Iwakuma’s return from injury requiring at least one more rehab start and the continued struggles of veteran

Yovani Gallardo. Bergman was 4-4 with a 5.44 ERA in 9 appearances for the Mariners.
