Seattle added him and rookie outfielder Ben Gamel to the active roster Friday, but Sucre delayed his return to the Mariners to be at the hospital with his wife, Beriuska. Their daughter, Samara, was born Friday night.
"I really appreciate these two guys," Sucre said, pointing to Felix Hernandez's and Franklin Gutierrez's lockers.
That's because Hernandez and Gutierrez's wives went to the hospital to help out Beriuska, Sucre said, and Hernandez's wife is looking after the Sucres' 5-year-old son today.
Sucre spent the first part of the season on the 60-day disabled list.
