Mariners activated RHP Stephen Pryor from the 15-day disabled list; optioned him to Triple-A Tacoma. Pryor was expected to immediately rejoin the Mariners' bullpen in a setup role, but will work himself back into form at Triple-A before doing so. The Mariners' potential "closer of the future" has posted a 1.69 ERA through his first 5 1/3 innings in the big leagues. He'll be up soon enough.
