recalled outfielder Jarred Kelenic and promoted catcher Luis Torrens from Triple-A Tacoma.
Outside an 11-day stint in early August, Kelenic has been down at Triple-A with the Rainiers since mid-May. Kelenic had struggled mightily at the plate in his 32 games played with the Mariners this season, batting just .140 with two doubles, a triple and three home runs in 86 at-bats. Even if Kelenic's bat doesn't heat up in the big leagues, he's developed into a strong fielder and is a good runner on the base paths. Given the daily nightmare Jesse Winker can be defensively in the outfield, Kelenic gives Seattle another option in left field while allowing Sam Haggerty to move back to the infield spots.
Torrens is additional depth for the club with Cal Raleigh dealing with a thumb issue and backup Curt Casali nearing an absence from the team for paternity leave.
