Mariners reinstate Kyle Lewis from the IL ahead of this weekend’s series vs. the Astros

The Astros aren’t the only team to get their star outfielder/former Rookie of the Year outfielder back after the All-Star Break. Today the Mariners announced Kyle Lewis will be activated from the IL, where he’s been languishing since Mariners Public Enemy #7 José Urquidy hit him with a pitch that ricocheted off his shoulder, knocked off his helmet, and hit him in the head back on May 28. At the time, it didn’t seem like much—it wasn’t 95 straight to the noggin or anything—but it turns out that pitch rang our Kyle’s bell pretty dang loudly.
