The Seattle Mariners have reinstated outfielder Julio Rodriguez from the concussion injured list, bringing one of the club’s key bats back to the active roster after a layoff of a little more than two weeks.
Rodriguez had been sidelined on the seven-day concussion IL, and his return gives Seattle an immediate boost in the outfield. His activation is a notable development for a Mariners team looking to regain full strength as the season moves forward.
In the corresponding roster move, the Mariners designated utility player Miles Mastrobuoni for assignment. That decision clears room on the roster for Rodriguez’s return while putting Mastrobuoni’s status with the organization in question.
The pair of moves marks a meaningful roster shuffle for Seattle, with the focus squarely on Rodriguez’s comeback and what his return could mean for the lineup in the coming days.
