The Seattle Mariners recalled infielder-outfielder Mike Morse from Triple-A Tacoma on Sunday. To make room on the 25-man roster, the club has optioned outfielder T.J. Bohn to Tacoma.
"Mike gives us some more flexibility," Mariners manager Mike Hargrove said. "He was eligible to return today, so we made the move. I thought TJ did a nice job, but having Mike here gives us a few more
options on how we use our bench."
Morse, 24, has hit .409 (9x22) in nine games with the Mariners this season, with four doubles and eight RBI. In a combined three stints in Tacoma, Morse is a .248 (51x206) hitter with 15 doubles, one triple, five home runs and 34 RBI. He missed nearly the entire month of July (July 3-July 31) on the Rainiers disabled list with a torn meniscus in his left knee.
Bohn was 1-for-7 (.143) in five games with the Mariners, collecting his first Major League hit last night, a single off Boston's David Wells.
Jon Lester, the former Bellarmine Prep star now with the Boston Red Sox, has been scratched from his Tuesday start and sent back to Boston to have his sore back examined.
Lester was involved in a minor car accident on Aug. 18 before his scheduled start against the New York Yankees. Since then, he's been bothered by a sore back. He had an initial examination in Seattle but team officials decided to send him home on Sunday rather than wait and se if there was improvement before his scheduled start against Oakland.
In his rookie season, Lester is 7-2 with a 4.76 ERA.
