The Mariners selected Lao's contract from Triple-A Tacoma on Tuesday.
Lao was removed from the 40-man roster earlier this season after making one relief appearance, but he's earned his way back on with a 1.37 ERA over his last five outings at Tacoma. The 26-year-old will likely be used in low-leverage spots.

Mariners' Sauryn Lao: Gets first call to big leagues
Rotowire
The Mariners called up Lao from Triple-A Tacoma on Sunday.
Lao has started all three games in which he has pitched in the minors this season, but he's tossed only three frames in each of those appearances and is likely to work in the bullpen while up with Seattle. The right-hander has been effective with Tacoma, posting a 2.00 ERA, 0.89 WHIP and 7:1 K:BB over nine innings. To make room for Lao on the 40-man roster, the Mariners are designating Casey Lawrence for assignment, per Tim Booth of the Seattle Times.
