Cole Wilcox Optioned to Triple-A Tacoma in Mariners Roster Shuffle

Right-handed pitcher Cole Wilcox has been optioned to Triple-A Tacoma by the Seattle Mariners as part of a corresponding move on Monday. The decision to send Wilcox down came as the Mariners activated left-handers José Suarez and Josh Simpson from the injured list. Wilcox will look to continue his development in the minors and remain ready for a potential call-up later in the season. The move is part of the Mariners' ongoing efforts to manage their pitching depth amid a flurry of recent injuries.
