Outfielder Boog Powell’s career resurrection is just about complete.
Less than a year after getting suspended a second time in his six-year pro career for a drug violation, Powell is poised to make his big-league debut.
The Mariners recalled Powell from Triple-A Tacoma prior to Saturday’s game against Cleveland after placing reliever Evan Scribner on the 10-day disabled list because of an elbow injury.
Powell, 24, arrives after batting .261 with a .424 on-base percentage in 14 games for the Rainiers after missing the season’s first five games while concluding an 80-game imposed last June 23 after testing positive for a performance-enhancing drug.
