The Seattle Mariners reinstated first baseman Ty France from the 10-day injured list ahead of Tuesday's series opener against Cleveland. France had been out for a little more than a week after suffering a hairline fracture in his right heel when he was hit by a pitch in a game against Kansas City. The hit by pitch was the 90th time France had been plunked in his Mariners career, setting a franchise record. After a slow start, France had raised hit batting average to .251 with seven homers and 27 RBI, with five of those homers coming in the past 27 games.
