Mariners recalled INF Alex Liddi from Triple-A Tacoma. Liddi is the first Italian-born major-leaguer since Reno Bertoia in 1953. The 23-year-old batted .258/.332/.478 with 28 home runs and 101 RBI over 632 plate appearances at the Triple-A level this season. It's not known how much he'll play down the stretch, as Kyle Seager and Chone Figgins also figure to get playing time at third base.
