Overview

  • Ford, 22, joins the active roster after posting a .283/.408/.460 line with 16 home runs and 74 RBIs in 97 games for Triple-A Tacoma.
  • He will make his Major League debut upon his first appearance and was not in the lineup for the series opener at Tampa Bay.
  • Seattle also selected veteran right-hander Luke Jackson and recalled infielder Leo Rivas, designated right-hander Sauryn Lao for assignment, and released infielder Donovan Solano.
  • The active roster stands at 27 players until Victor Robles completes his suspension under the 28-man September rules.
