The Seattle Mariners have activated infielder Dylan Moore off the paternity list and called up right-handed pitcher Emerson Hancock from Triple-A Tacoma. Hancock, who is on the taxi squad, is set to start Thursday's series finale against the Chicago White Sox. The Mariners' decision to recall Hancock comes as three of their starting pitchers are among the top seven in innings pitched in the American League, necessitating extra rest for the rotation. Mariners' GM Justin Hollander mentioned that giving the starters an extra day of rest would be beneficial.

The Mariners have not announced yet, but it would make sense that Hancock would start tonight. It is an opportunity to bump everyone a day which Justin Hollander said yesterday they all could use. https://t.co/AjYUkwH34e
Hancock is here on the taxi squad. M’s starters have thrown a ton of innings and they may elect to give him a start to give the others an extra day. Will have plenty more on this and the injury updates on the pregame show at 5:30 on @SeattleSports
