KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Seattle Mariners reinstated outfielder Victor Robles from the 10-day injured list on Friday and optioned utilityman Connor Joe to Triple-A Tacoma.

Robles, 29, landed on the 10-day IL on April 8 with a right pec strain after only five games with the Mariners.

He batted eighth and went 0 for 2 with a strikeout in Seattle’s 2-0 win over the Kansas City Royals on Friday night, dropping his batting average to .200. He has one double, one RBI and a stolen base this season.

The Dominican native missed 119 games in the 2025 season after he dislocated his left shoulder while making a leaping catch during a 5-4 loss at San Francisco in April. Last year, Robles hit .245 with one home run, four doubles and nine RBIs in 32 games.

Joe, who has appeared in parts of seven major league seasons, hit .182 with two runs, two doubles, one home run, three RBIs, two stolen bases and six walks in 18 games with Seattle.
