Mariners activate 1B Healy, option Vogelbach

The Seattle Mariners activated first baseman Ryon Healy from the 10-day disabled list Thursday, optioning first baseman Daniel Vogelbach to Triple-A Tacoma in a corresponding move.

Healy is batting ninth and playing first base for Seattle against the Cleveland Indians on Thursday.

Healy has missed the team's last 16 games with a right ankle injury. He previously missed four to six weeks during spring training after undergoing surgery to remove a bone spur in his right hand.

The 26-year-old has hit .091 (2-for-22) with four RBIs in six games with the Mariners this season after being acquired from the Oakland Athletics in November. He hit .333 with a home run and six RBIs in four rehab games with Double-A Arkansas.

Vogelbach was Seattle's primary option at first base while Healy was sidelined. The 25-year-old hit .204 with two home runs and five RBIs, striking out 21 times in 54 at-bats across 19 games.
