The Mariners made a few expected roster moves on Tuesday afternoon before the start of their two-game series with the Padres that will wrap up the penultimate homestand of the season.
Left-handed pitcher Marco Gonzales was activated from the disabled to start later that evening, while right-handed relievers Matt Festa and Nick Rumbelow were also recalled from Class AA Arkansas. The Travelers season ended on Monday with a loss in the Texas League playoffs.
Gonzales, 26, went on the 10-day DL on Aug. 27 (retroactive to Aug. 24) with a cervical (neck) muscle strain. He missed 15 games with the injury that had been lingering in his previous three starts before the DL stint.
