The Mariners reinstated outfielder Chris Snelling from the 15-day disabled list on Thursday and optioned reliever Sean Green to Tacoma to make room for Snelling on the 25-man roster.
Snelling was involved in a weird series of transactions back in July. He was recalled from Tacoma on July 26 but then was placed on the DL the next day with a shoulder impingement. He was sent to Tacoma for a rehab stint, and now rejoins the Mariners after a 20-day stint.
The 23-year-old Australian, who has been snake bit by a series of injuries, hit .216 with five homers and 39 RBI in 69 gmes with the Rainiers. Snelling began the season on the disabled list recovering
from ACL surgery on his left knee.
Snelling played for the Mariners in 2002 and 2005 with a combined .214 average (12x56) in 23 Major League games.
Green, 27, has no decisions and a 5.40 ERA (16 ER/26.2 IP) in 17 games for the Mariners this season.
