With Tim Beckham’s suspension on Tuesday morning, the Mariners made a series of roster moves later that afternoon.
Seattle activated infielder Tim Lopes from the 7-day concussion list to take the place of Beckham. Seattle also activated right-handed reliever Brandon Brennan (shoulder strain) from the 10-day injured list. To make room for Brennan, right-hander Gerson Bautista was optioned back to Class AAA Tacoma.
Lopes, 25, suffered the concussion after being hit on the ear flap of his helmet by a 91 mph fastball in his third plate appearance of his career. He played in a rehab stint with Tacoma, going 5 for 16 with a double and two stolen bases in four games.
