Key Points:
- The Mariners have selected infielder Will Wilson's contract to fill the active roster spot of Brendan Donovan, who is on the 10-day injured list with a left groin strain retroactive to April 18th.
- Brendan Donovan, sidelined due to a left hip issue and previous groin problems possibly related to sports hernia surgery, has been a key versatile defensive player for Seattle, batting .304/.437/.518 this season.
- To open a 40-man roster spot, infielder/outfielder Miles Mastrobuoni has been moved to the 60-day injured list after a setback in his recovery from a right calf strain.
- Leo Rivas has temporarily taken over third base duties in Donovan’s absence but has struggled offensively this season, while Wilson offers depth as a right-handed infielder with minor league experience.
- The Mariners are not promoting top prospect Colt Emerson yet despite Donovan's injury, preferring to keep him in Triple-A for further development.
