The right-handed Gray has been experiencing pain in his shoulder and neck. He doesn't expect to be sidelined longer than 15 days.

Gray, 26, has lost four consecutive decisions and he has a 10.38 ERA over his past five starts. He lasted less than four innings in three of those outings.

Overall, Gray is 3-5 with a 6.19 ERA. He posted a 2.73 ERA last season when he won 14 games for the second consecutive season.

In 40 games this season, Marte is hitting .276 with nine doubles, two triples, one home run and 31 RBIs.

The Mariners also recalled infielder Chris Taylor from Triple-A Tacoma.
