Saunders (oblique) will play a rehab game Monday at Triple-A Tacoma before leaving the team for paternity leave, Rainiers broadcaster Mike Curto reports. Saunders is in the final stretch of his recovery from a left oblique strain, fitting in four consecutive appearances at Tacoma. Overall, he hit .417 (5-for-12) with one double, two RBI, two runs, and seven walks versus three strikeouts. Considering the frequency with which he's reached base, expect the Mariners to activate the outfielder once he's spent time with his expanded family.
