SEATTLE - Former University of Tennessee pitcher R.A. Dickey and Arthur Rhodes were brought up Monday by the Seattle Mariners, who optioned struggling reliever Eric O'Flaherty to Class AA West Tenn.
"With the injuries we've had our pitching is a little beat up," Mariners manager John McLaren said. "Going to 12 pitchers will allow us some more protection while we battle through this stretch. Both Arthur and R.A. were very good this spring, and have thrown the ball well in the minors."
Dickey may be used in long relief or eventually as a starter. The knuckleballer has made two starts with Class AAA Tacoma, going 1-1 with a 2.40 earned run average. In his last outing, Dickey carried a no-hit bid into the seventh.
