Rollins was recalled from Triple-A Tacoma on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Rollins received the call up with Wade Miley landing on the DL and Steve Johnson heading out on assignment Friday. Rollins was shelled during his limited major league action in 2015, giving up 37 hits and 21 earned runs over 25 innings. The 26-year-old has looked good at Triple-A Tacoma this season, however, posting a 2.36 ERA 0.71 WHIP over 26.2 relief innings.

Rollins was reinstated from the restricted list Saturday.
After serving an 80-game suspension for a positive test of performance-enhancing drugs, Rollins will take a spot in the Mariners' bullpen right off the bat. In seven recent appearances with Triple-A Tacoma, he held the opposition scoreless with a 0.879 WHIP and 8:1 K:BB in 9.1 innings.

Rollins, a Rule 5 pick who was suspended 80 games Friday for testing positive for a performance-enhancing substance, will be taken off the 40-man roster but will remain the Mariners property for the duration of the suspension, the Seattle Times reports.
Rollins tested positive for stanozolol, an anabolic steroid. "It was when I got back from winter ball and I was sore and I was trying to speed up my recovery," Rollins said. Tyler Olson is now a near lock to land the second lefty role in the bullpen. Joe Saunders is still in camp, but he has struggled this spring. The Mariners could go with only one left-hander in Charlie Furbush, however.

Rollins received an 80-game suspension Friday after testing positive for a performance-enhancing substance.
Rollins was in consideration for a spot in the Mariners' bullpen after being taken in the Rule 5 draft this season. With the news, he'll likely be offered back to the Astros at some point in the future, though it's not guaranteed.
