Josh Simpson Returns to Mariners Roster After Stint on Injured List

Left-handed pitcher Josh Simpson has been activated from the injured list by the Seattle Mariners. Simpson's return provides the team with much-needed relief depth as they navigate a stretch of injuries to their pitching staff, including the loss of Gabe Speier to the IL. Simpson is expected to slot back into a bullpen role, offering manager Dan Wilson another left-handed weapon to use in high-leverage situations. His activation was announced alongside several other roster moves prior to Monday's game.
