Mariners Reinstate Jorge Polanco from Paternity Leave

The Seattle Mariners have reinstated Jorge Polanco from the paternity list, allowing him to return to action for their series opener against San Francisco. Polanco, who had a strong start to the season with a .400 batting average and a home run, was placed on the paternity list for two days following the birth of his child. In his absence, Leo Rivas was recalled from Triple-A Tacoma, having performed well early in the season. Polanco's four-game hitting streak includes a pivotal home run on Opening Day, marking his first in that event. The 31-year-old has had a successful career, previously earning an All-Star selection in 2019 and contributing significantly in postseason play. The Mariners continue to manage their roster effectively as they navigate the early season.
