2 years agoThe Seattle Mariners reinstated first baseman Ty France (elbow) from the 10-day injured list on Thursday and optioned outfielder Marcus Wilson to Triple-A Tacoma in a corresponding move. France will immediately return to the starting lineup as the designated hitter, and he'll bat second against Toronto Blue Jays left-hander Anthony Banda. The 27-year-old is returning from a Grade 2 flexor strain of his left elbow in late June. France is having a career year for the Mariners, and fantasy managers can only hope he can pick up where he left off with the bat. He returns to a .316/.390/.476 slash line with an .867 OPS, 10 home runs, 45 RBI and 32 runs scored in 70 games. Justin Upton and Abraham Toro are likely to see less playing time now that France is back.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
