The Seattle Mariners activated first baseman Ty France from the paternity list, and called up relievers Brett de Geus and Tyson Miller from Triple-A Tacoma for needed bullpen depth ahead of their series with the Toronto Blue Jays.
Additionally, relievers Collin Snider (knee contusion) and Cody Bolton (general medical issue) were placed on the 15-day injured list to open roster spots for De Geus and Miller. Right-handed pitcher Ty Adcock was designated for assignment to open a spot on the 40-man roster for the call-ups as well.
With France's return to the roster, infielder/outfielder Samad Taylor was optioned to Triple-A Tacoma.
