The Seattle Mariners placed right-hander Drew Steckenrider on the restricted list on Monday and selected left-hander Roenis Elias' contract from Triple-A Tacoma in a corresponding move.

Minnesota Twins outfielder Byron Buxton (knee) is in the starting lineup for the second straight day on Monday, starting in center field and batting leadoff against Oakland Athletics left-hander Zach Logue.
