Posted on April 22nd, 2008 - 8:03 pm by BaseballTalkOnline
The Mariners activated closer J.J. Putz from the disabled list today, optioning R.A. Dickey to Triple-A to make room for him.
Putz should return to the closer’s role right away, with Mark Lowe and Ryan Rowland-Smith returning to their normal setup duties.
Dickey was optioned out because Erik Bedard is expected to come off the disabled list to make the start on Saturday, making Dickey no longer needed on the major league roster.
