AI Summary
The Seattle Mariners optioned infielder Leo Rivas to Triple-A Tacoma to make room on the roster as they push for a playoff run, with top prospect Colt Emerson staying with the team and Brendan Donovan expected to return from the injured list.
Top prospect Colt Emerson isn't going anywhere, even when Brendan Donovan is back from the injured list. Rivas offers some appeal in a bench role, but the Mariners are trying to make a real playoff push this summer and there simply isn't a spot for him anymore. There's always a chance injuries bring him back to the big leagues in a bench role later this summer.
