Mariners reinstate 2B Gordon from IL


The Seattle Mariners reinstated second baseman Dee Gordon from the injured list Tuesday.

Gordon, 31, has been out since May 21 with a right wrist contusion. He originally suffered the injury when he was struck by a pitch on May 9 against the New York Yankees.

The two-time All-Star appeared in three games on a rehab assignment at Triple-A Tacoma, going 3-for-14 with two strikeouts.

In 45 games with the Mariners, Gordon is batting .281 with three homers, 19 RBIs and 12 steals.

In a corresponding move, Seattle optioned right-hander Matt Festa to Tacoma. In three stints this season with the Mariners, the 26-year-old is 0-1 with a 5.73 ERA in nine relief appearances.
