The Seattle Mariners have reinstated outfielder Rob Refsnyder from the 10-day injured list. Refsnyder had been sidelined since June 29 with right knee inflammation. He previously spent time on the paternity list in mid-April.

Refsnyder, who signed a one-year contract last offseason, has struggled this season. He is batting .133 with a .422 OPS through 119 plate appearances. His return comes as the Mariners prepare for a three-game series against the Los Angeles Dodgers.

In a corresponding move, the Mariners designated infielder Buddy Kennedy for assignment. Kennedy was acquired in late June from the San Francisco Giants for cash and appeared in five games, hitting .100.
