The move with Wilcox comes a day after the right-hander had to be removed from his relief appearance against the Detroit Tigers mid at-bat.

Wilcox had allowed three runs and recorded two outs in the top of the seventh before grabbing at his side after throwing a pitch and gingerly walking off the mound. After a meeting with a team trainer, he was pulled from the game in a 1-2 count.

The 27-year-old Wilcox, who was acquired in a November 2025 with the Tampa Bay Rays, has a 4.00 ERA and 1.63 WHIP with 28 strikeouts to 17 walks over 27 innings pitched this season.

Davila, 27, is up for his third stint with the Mariners this year. The right-hander has a 3.57 ERA and 1.19 WHIP with nine strikeouts to 11 walks over 22 2/3 innings in the majors this year. He made his major league debut May 3.

The Mariners begin a three-game series against the American League East-leading Rays on Friday at 6:45 p.m. Radio coverage on Seattle Sports 710 AM and the Seattle Sports app begins with the pregame show at 5:30 p.m.
