SEATTLE -- Looking to add a right-handed bat to their outfield mix, the Mariners recalled John Andreoli from Triple-A Tacoma prior to Saturday afternoon's game against the Rockies and southpaw Kyle Freeland.
Right-handed reliever Nick Rumbelow was optioned to Tacoma to open a spot on the 25-man roster for Andreoli, who is in the lineup in left field for the 1:10 p.m. PT start.
Mitch Haniger returned from a two-game absence with a bruised right knee and was also penciled into the lineup against the Rockies, but second baseman Dee Gordon was sidelined after twisting his hip awkwardly on a play at the plate in the seventh inning of Friday's 7-1 loss.
