Per reporting from Mark Singelais of the Times-Union, the regional paper of the Capital Region in and surrounding Albany, New York, the Seattle Mariners have recalled Colonie, NY native Brian O’Keefe to join the big league club ahead of Wednesday’s game against the Kansas City Royals. Singelais reported confirmation via text from O’Keefe himself, though it is not yet public who O’Keefe is replacing on the roster. UPDATE: Tom Murphy has been placed on the 10-day injured list, per Adam Jude of the Seattle Times.
The 30-year-old backstop has dutifully plugged away in Seattle’s system for the past three seasons, racking up 978 plate appearances at Triple-A Tacoma since 2021.
