Mariners Reinstate Rob Refsnyder From the 10-Day IL, DFA Buddy Kennedy
Refsnyder returned from the injured list after a .133 start, and the Mariners cleared a roster spot by designating Buddy Kennedy for assignment.
- On Tuesday, the Seattle Mariners reinstated outfielder Rob Refsnyder from the 10-day injured list ahead of a three-game series against the Los Angeles Dodgers. The team designated infielder Buddy Kennedy for assignment.
- Seattle signed the 35-year-old Refsnyder to a one-year, $6.25 million contract to address left-handed pitching weakness. He had been sidelined since June 29 with right knee inflammation before completing a rehab stint with Triple-A Tacoma.
- Refsnyder has hit.133 with a.422 OPS across 119 plate appearances this season. The Mariners entered the second half with an MLB-worst.631 OPS against left-handed pitching, the precise weakness he was signed to address.
- Kennedy, purchased from the San Francisco Giants in late June, hit.100 over five appearances for Seattle. The roster move leaves the Mariners with 38 players, creating two open spots before the Aug. 3 trade deadline.
- Facing the Aug. 3 trade deadline, Seattle has lost 11 of its past 16 games and sits 52-55, falling 2½ games behind the Rangers in the West. The reinstatement and designation signal urgent roster adjustments as the season enters its final stretch.
