Yovani Gallardo (5-8) was feckless Monday as he was pounded early and often in Seattle's loss to the Orioles Monday evening. Gallardo gave up eight earned runs on nine hits while walking one and striking out four over four innings.
Fantasy Implications: Gallardo's first pitch, a 91 mph fastball lined into the right field bleachers by Tim Beckham for a home run, was a harbinger of things to come. Of the eight hits yielded by the 31-year-old righty, five went for extra-bases, including a grand slam by Manny Machado in the second frame. He was mercifully taken out the game after throwing 99 pitches, and giving up a double to Adam Jones to start the fifth inning. Gallardo actually had success when he was relegated to the bullpen in late June, compiling a 1-0 record with a 0.79 ERA, 0.88 WHIP, and earning one save in four relief appearances over 11.1 innings. Since regaining his role in the rotation on July 23, he has not made it into the sixth inning in any of his four starts. Gallardo now sports a doleful 5.84 ERA and 1.51 WHIP on the year. His renowned days as a starter in Milwaukee are now a distant sight in the rear-view mirror.

Christian Bergman optioned to Triple-A
Christian Bergman was optioned to Triple-A Tacoma on Monday.
Fantasy Implications: Bergman, who was recalled Saturday, made two relief appearances in his brief stint, allowing no runs, on two hits, three strikeouts and walking none over five complete innings against the Angels. The 29-year-old right-hander was sent down to Tacoma because of the lack of his availability the next few days. He his likely to be recalled again when the Mariner's need a fresh arm in the bullpen. In a corresponding move, the Mariners called-up rookie right-hander Thyago Vieira from Tacoma.

Thyago Vieira promoted to Majors
Thyago Vieira was recalled from Triple-A Tacoma Monday and added to Mariners 25-man active roster prior to their series with Baltimore at Safeco Field.
Fantasy Implications: Vieira has routinely hit 100 mph on the radar gun this year during stints with both Double-A Arkansas and the Raniers. The 24-year-old right-handed flame-thrower will now become the fourth Brazilian-born player in Major League history. He is expected to initially be used in low-leverage situations. In seven appearances with Tacoma, after being promoted from Double-A Arkansas on July 19, he compiled a 3.18 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and a 10/6 K/BB, while earning two saves. In a corresponding move, Seattle optioned Christian Bergman to Tacoma.
