The Seattle Mariners placed All-Star pitcher Logan Gilbert on the injured list on Saturday after it was revealed that he had a Grade 1 flexor strain in his right elbow. The team says he will be shut down from throwing for two weeks and then re-evaluated.

While this is the best case scenario for now, it doesn't mean that the Mariners and Gilbert are out of the woods. Regardless, the team has made multiple roster moves in the wake of this decision.

Per Mariners PR on social media:

Tayler Saucedo, LHP, recalled from Triple-A Tacoma.
Troy Taylor, RHP, recalled from Triple-A Tacoma.
Logan Gilbert, RHP, placed on 15-day Injured List (right elbow flexor strain).
Casey Lawrence, RHP, designated for assignment.
