Mariners' Samad Taylor: Promoted to big club

The Mariners selected Taylor's contract from Triple-A Tacoma on Tuesday.

In order to add Taylor to the 40-man roster, the Mariners transferred right-hander Gregory Santos (knee) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL. Taylor will take over the 26-man active roster spot of infielder/outfielder Dylan Moore (hip), who was placed on the 10-day injured list. Taylor has appeared in 34 career games in the big leagues, slashing .215/.288/.277 with no home runs, four RBI and eight stolen bases.
