Mariners Shuffle Roster, Activate Patrick Wisdom and Add Brennen Davis to 40-Man

The set of moves balances short-term depth with 40-man roster control.

Overview

  • Seattle announced Monday that it reinstated infielder Patrick Wisdom from the 10-day injured list and recalled left-hander Robinson Ortiz.
  • Team officials said Ortiz will make his major league debut once he appears in a game.
  • Seattle also selected outfielder Brennen Davis to the 40-man roster and optioned him to Triple-A Tacoma, which keeps him in the minors but on the major-league roster list.
  • To open spots, the club optioned right-hander Domingo González and infielder Leo Rivas to Triple-A Tacoma.
  • With Davis filling the lone opening, the 40-man roster is now full, and a 40-man selection makes a player eligible for call-ups and protects him from the Rule 5 draft.
