Mariners roster moves: Leo Rivas optioned to Tacoma; Patrick Wisdom activated

Utility infielder Leo Rivas was optioned to Triple-A Tacoma and veteran infielder Patrick Wisdom was activated from the injured list as part of a flurry of moves the Mariners made Monday afternoon ahead of their series opener against the White Sox.

In another bullpen addition, left-hander Robinson Ortiz was also recalled from Tacoma, with right-hander Domingo González sent back to the Rainiers.

Rivas 28, has been a valuable defensive option around the infield, particularly with Brendan Donovan's two stints on the injured list here early in the season. But Rivas has struggled at the plate in 38 games, hitting just .131 with two doubles, one triple and a .434 OPS in 120 plate appearances.

Wisdom, 34, has been on the IL since April 20 with a left oblique strain. He appeared in eight games on a rehab assignment with Tacoma, hitting .304 (7 for 23) with three home runs, a double, a triple, six RBI and five walks with a 1.255 OPS.

Wisdom made his Mariners debut on April 14 in a pinch-hit appearance.

Ortiz will make his MLB debut when he appears in a game. The 26-year-old has posted a 1.69 ERA in 16 innings for the Rainiers this season, with 18 strikeouts, 12 walks and a .148 batting average against. He gives the M's a second left-handed option in the bullpen behind José A. Ferrer.

In a procedural move, the Mariners selected outfielder Brennen Davis to the 40-man roster and formally optioned him to Tacoma.

The 26-year-old Davis had signed a minor league deal with the Mariners this winter that featured a May 15 assignment clause. If he hadn't been added to the 40-man roster, he could ask for his release.

A one-time top prospect in the Chicago Cubs system, Davis battled through numerous injuries the past several years, bouncing around the minors between the Cubs, Yankees and now the Mariners.

Davis had a productive spring training with the Mariners, and in 38 games with Tacoma he has a .281/.394/.548 slash line (. 942 OPS) with eight homers and 27 RBI.

Davis has a second clause in his contract where he can opt out on Aug. 1 and ask for his release.

It's worth noting that outfielder Victor Robles remains on the injured list with a right pec strain. Robles has appeared in 10 games on a rehab assignment with Tacoma over the past two weeks.

Per MLB rules, position players are allowed up to 20 games on a rehab assignment.
