ballot in a race that ends Friday. In the first set of results
released by Major League Baseball, Gardner was fourth and well
behind Kansas City third baseman Mike Moustakas.
Gardner is batting .305 with 10 home runs and 40 RBIs.

Furbush, a left-hander, was placed on the 15-day disabled list with
left biceps tendinitis. The right-handed Guaipe was optioned to
Triple-A Tacoma, and the left-handed Nuno and right-handed Farquhar
were recalled from Tacoma.
The Mariners were still working on a corresponding move for the
25-year-old Montero.
Montero, the one-time star prospect who has had a resurgence in
Tacoma, leads the Triple-A Pacific Coast League in hits (115), RBIs
(68), runs (57), at-bats (340) and total bases (180). He's third in
average (.332). (Editing by Larry Fine) ))
