The Seattle Mariners' outfield depth took a hit Wednesday as the club placed Victor Robles on the 10-day injured list. The veteran outfielder is dealing with a right pectoral strain, a move made retroactive to Tuesday.

To fill the roster spot, the Mariners have recalled utility man Connor Joe from Triple-A Tacoma. Joe, who provides valuable defensive versatility having played first base and both corner outfield spots in the minors, will look to make an impact after appearing in 42 games for the Reds and Padres last season.

In a corresponding roster shuffle, the Mariners also transferred right-handed pitcher Carlos Vargas from the 15-day to the 60-day injured list as he continues to recover from a right lat strain. This IL move underscores the physical demands of the game and the constant roster adjustments teams must navigate over a long season.
