Mariners optioned RHP Nick Davila to Triple-A Tacoma.

With Carlos Vargas set to join the Mariners’ bullpen on Friday, someone needed to get sent out to create a spot and unfortunately Davila drew the short straw this time. The 27-year-old righty holds a 4.10 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and a 13/11 K/BB ratio over 26 1/3 innings in 23 appearances with the M’s this season.
