The Seattle Mariners have placed right-handed pitcher Carlos Vargas on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to March 24, due to a right lat strain.

In a corresponding roster move to bolster pitching depth, the Mariners have recalled right-handed pitcher Cole Wilcox from Triple-A Tacoma to take his place on the active roster.
