SEATTLE -- Third baseman Kyle Seager has been reinstated from the paternity list and will rejoin the Mariners for Thursday night's series opener against the Blue Jays at Safeco Field.
Seager missed the three-game series against the Astros, but is expected back in the lineup against Toronto after his wife, Julie, gave birth to their third child.
The Mariners optioned infielder Zach Vincej back to Triple-A Tacoma to open a spot for Seager's return. Vincej appeared in one game, going 2-for-4 with an RBI while getting the start at third base on Wednesday in his Seattle debut.
