The Mariners reinstated outfielder Victor Robles from the 60-day injured list on Saturday.
The 28-year-old outfielder has not played in the Majors since suffering a left shoulder dislocation while making a leaping catch into the netting on April 6 at San Francisco’s Oracle Park. Robles had a .624 OPS in 10 games before suffering his injury.
Seattle signed Robles last June after he was designated for assignment by the Nationals and saw the outfielder rebound with an .860 OPS and 30 stolen bases in 77 games with the Mariners.
While Robles is in the lineup for tonight’s game, hitting seventh and playing right field against A’s lefty Jeffrey Springs, he was suspended for 10 games after he threw his bat towards an opposing pitcher during his rehab assignment with Triple-A Tacoma on Aug. 17. Robles appealed his suspension, but Mariners general manager Justin Hollander said on Friday that it’s unclear if that appeal has been heard.
If Robles does begin his suspension, the Mariners will be forced to play one man short during the duration of those 10 games. Rosters, however, will expand from 26 to 28 players on Sept. 1.
In a corresponding move, 33-year-old utility player Dylan Moore was designated for assignment.
Moore, who was the team’s longest-tenured player, had fallen into a slump for much of 2025. He was hitting .048 with a .254 OPS in 43 games since June 1.
