The pair of prospects have been recalled from Triple-A and will be in uniform for the Mariners game tonight.
As rule, the Mariners now have 10 days to trade, release, or outright Wilkerson and Norton to the minor leagues. The pair could choose to refuse the trip to the minor leagues and become free agents.
