Mariners All-Star outfielder Julio Rodriguez was activated from the injured list and returned to the lineup as Seattle's designated hitter, batting fourth, in Sunday night's 12-1 win against the New York Mets.

Rodriguez, visibly impatient at the plate, struck out in all five appearances.

He had been sidelined since suffering a high ankle sprain July 21 while making a play against the center-field fence. The two-time All-Star made consistent progress in his recovery and in recent days had been testing the ankle by running.
