SEATTLE -- Catcher Miguel Olivo was activated from the 15-day disabled list by the Seattle Mariners on Thursday after missing close to a month with a strained right groin muscle. Cheap Jerseys Direct . The clear a roster spot, reserve outfielder Casper Wells was optioned to Triple-A Tacoma. There was some speculation that Seattle might consider keeping Wells -- Seattles main late-game defensive replacement in the outfield -- and releasing benched veteran Chone Figgins. But Figgins remained on the roster and he will for the foreseeable future. Manager Eric Wedge was adamant before Thursdays game that there are no thoughts at this time of releasing Figgins Since the decision was made earlier this month to bench Figgins, hes appeared in just four games. Figgins was given first shot at leading off in the hope Seattle could finally get some value after the $36 million, four-year deal he signed before the 2010 season. But his .189 average on May 3 precipitated the change. Now hes a seldom-used utility player, although his versatility to play in the infield and outfield is part of the reason he remained on the roster. "Right now thats not even an option with us. With Chone we wanted to give him every opportunity to get back on track. We felt like we did that leading him off and switching his role a little bit and it didnt work out. So now he is a utility player and a super utility player in that he gives us protection. Well play him when we need him. Well use him as we see fit to help us win ball games and well see from there." Wells had appeared in just 25 games and was hitting .213. Wedge hopes Wells can get regular playing time and at-bats with Tacoma. Olivo was in the starting lineup for the series opener against the Los Angeles Angels on Thursday night despite a delayed flight back to Seattle on Wednesday night that didnt land him back in the Pacific Northwest until after 3 a.m. Thursday morning. Catcher is another position Wedge will need to juggle. Rookie Jesus Montero and John Jaso have split the duties since Olivo was injured in the ninth inning on April 30 against Tampa Bay. Olivo was fielding a ball between the plate and the mound when he injured his groin. Wedge prefers having a third catcher on the roster when one -- typically Montero -- is the designated hitter. "Its nice to have different options," Wedge said. "Im not going to sit here and tell everybody exactly how were going to handle this, but theyre all going to play." Olivo appeared in three rehab games with Tacoma and got an early test in his rehab assignment when in the first inning of his first rehab game he was forced to make a similar play to the one he was injured on. Olivo is hitting .210 with four homers and seven RBIs in 23 games this season. Cheap Jerseys China . Hall inked a one-year, one-way deal, while Wyman signed a one-year, two-way contract.

Cheap Jerseys Sale . -- Jishan Sharples scored in double overtime as the McGill Redmen edged the Western Mustangs 7-6 on Sunday to win the Baggataway Cup. MINNEAPOLIS -- As Phil Hughes laboured through the seventh inning, Joe Girardi saw reliable lefty Boone Logan warming in the bullpen, a string of four straight left-handed hitters for the Minnesota Twins due up and the Baltimore Orioles already losers to Toronto. With a 3-1 lead and the bases loaded, Girardi decided to play it safe, and it cost the New York Yankees. Logan couldnt hold the lead for Hughes as the Yankees missed a chance to go up 2 1/2 games on Baltimore in a 5-4 loss to the Twins on Tuesday night. "Its tough," Hughes said. "I feel like I was throwing the ball well. Its a tough one to lose." Hughes (16-13) was strong through six innings and the Yankees jumped out to a 3-1 lead. But he left with the bases loaded and two outs in the seventh. "The inning was so long and hed worked so hard, and Boonie had done a good job in his career against Span, I decided to go with him," Girardi said. Logan let one run score on a wild pitch before giving up a two-run double to Denard Span that put the Twins in front for good. Joe Mauer followed with his third single of the game to cap the four-run seventh, and the Twins held on to keep the Orioles, who lost to Toronto earlier on Tuesday, 1 1/2 games back of New York in the AL East. "Its easy to look back and criticize when your lefty who has been money all year doesnt get it done," catcher Russell Martin said. "I have to block the ball. Thats what changed the inning." Nick Swisher homered for the third straight game, Martin also went deep and Andruw Jones hit a pinch-hit solo shot off of closer Glen Perkins in the ninth inning for the Yankees. But Perkins struck out Jayson Nix for his 15th save. Martins soaring shot in the seventh off of Casey Fien (2-1) in the seventh was his 19th of the season, which ties a career high, and gave New York a 3-1 lead. But Hughes ran into trouble in the bottom of the inning after allowing just one run on four hits in the first six. With much better command of his fastball and changeup than hes had lately, Fien retired nine of the next 10 batters after giving up an RBI double to Chris Parmelee in the fourth. Then things went a little haywire for the 26-year-old right-hander. He gave up a single to Ryan Doumit, walked Parmelee and Jamey Carroll reached on aan infield hit with one out to load the bases.

Logans first pitch was wild, getting by Martin to allow Doumit to score. Span followed with the double and Mauer the single to raise his average to .326, just behind Triple Crown candidate Miguel Cabrera (.329) in the American League. Hughes said he wanted to stay in the game. "I was hoping so," he said. "But I dont make those decisions. I pitch until Im told to." Logan said his slider just wasnt as sharp as it normally is. "I was trying to battle through it but just had a bad game," he said. It was a disappointing finish for Hughes, who has won three straight starts and was appearing to pick up steam with the post-season just over a week away. He finished with four runs on six hits and four strikeouts in 6 2-3 innings. Derek Jeter extended his hitting streak to 19 games with a single in the first inning and Robinson Cano went 3 for 3 with a walk for the Yankees, who could have opened their largest division lead since Sept. 1. Esmerling Vasquez gave up two runs on seven hits with five strikeouts in six innings for the Twins. On the bright side for the Yankees, the loss didnt let Baltimore gain any ground. "We had an opportunity," Girardi said. "But you can look at it the other way, too. Weve got to come out and win the series tomorrow." NOTES: On Monday night, Curtis Granderson joined Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Mickey Mantle and Jason Giambi as the only Yankees to hit 40-plus HRs in back-to-back seasons. "Especially with the number of guys that have played for the Yankees and put the pinstripes on, at least for one sentence I get to get mentioned with those guys," Granderson said.
