Mariners place struggling LHP Gonzales on DL

Gonzales leads the Mariners with 12 victories but has struggled over his last four outings, losing each start with a 10.35 ERA during the span. Overall, he is 12-9 with a 4.32 ERA in 25 starts.

The Seattle Mariners placed left-hander Marco Gonzales on the 10-day disabled list with a cervical muscle strain in his neck, the team announced Monday.

Gonzales leads the Mariners with 12 victories but has struggled over his last four outings, losing each start with a 10.35 ERA during the span. Overall, he is 12-9 with a 4.32 ERA in 25 starts.

Seattle recalled outfielder Guillermo Heredia from Triple-A Tacoma in a corresponding move.

Gonzales was scheduled to start Wednesday's road game against the San Diego Padres. The club hasn't yet decided on a placement.

Ace left-hander James Paxton is ready to return from a forearm injury, but the Mariners don't plan to activate him until Thursday when he will pitch against the Oakland Athletics. Manager Scott Servais has previously said they didn't want to activate Paxton against the Padres because he would have to bat in the National League ballpark.

Heredia is batting .217 with four homers and 14 RBIs in 105 games with the Mariners this season.
