The Mariners activated outfielder Rob Refsnyder from the 10-day injured list on Tuesday, designating infielder Buddy Kennedy for assignment in a corresponding move.
Refsnyder, 35, had been on the Injured List since June 29 with right knee inflammation. He appeared in 7 games with Triple-A Tacoma on a rehab assignment.
He spent time on the Paternity List from April 14-16. Refsnyder signed a 1-year Major League contract with Seattle on Dec. 22, 2025.
Kennedy, 27, appeared in 5 games with Seattle, batting .100 (1x10). Kennedy was acquired on June 29, 2026 from San Francisco in exchange for cash considerations.
The right-handed hitting infielder has appeared in parts of 5 Major League seasons with the Diamondbacks (2022-23), Tigers (2024), Phillies (2024), Blue Jays (2025), Dodgers (2025), Giants (2025-26) and Mariners (2026). In 200 career Major League plate appearances, he is batting .167 (29x174) with 6 doubles, 2 triples, 2 home runs, 20 RBI and 19 walks.
Kennedy was originally drafted by the Arizona Diamondbacks in the 5th round of the 2017 MLB First Year Player Draft out of Millville Senior High School (Millville, NJ), the same high school as three-time MVP outfielder Mike Trout-LAA. He is the grandson of former Major League infielder Don Money, who played 16 Major League seasons between the Phillies (1968-72) and Brewers (1973-83).
The Mariners 40-man roster is now at 38 players.
