Mariners' Erik Goeddel: Joins Mariners on Thursday

Goeddel was promoted to the big leagues prior to Thursday's game against Oakland.

In a corresponding move, the Mariners announced that Ichiro Suzuki was dropped from the active roster but will remain with the organization in a front-office advisory role. Goeddel has appeared in nine games for Triple-A Tacoma this season and has yet to allow a run over nine innings. He will be utilized out of the bullpen in low-leverage situations.
