Odom went 1-for-2 with an RBI single and one run scored in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Astros.
EDGE Analysis
After being sent to the Mariners' alternate training site Aug. 2, Odom was recalled to the 28-man roster Friday. The catcher did not play in either of the first two games of the weekend series but got the nod Sunday and made the most of it. He collected his first hit and RBI of his major-league career when a ground ball to right field drove in Evan White. He scored his first career run three batters later when Kyle Lewis drove him in with a single to center. Odom is expected to continue to back up Austin Nola behind the plate going forward.

Odom was recalled from the Mariners' alternate training site Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Odom was demoted to alternate camp at the beginning of August, but he'll rejoin the major-league roster after Joe Hudson was optioned to the alternate training site in a corresponding move. Odom should serve as catching depth behind Austin Nola.

Odom had his contract selected by the Mariners on Tuesday and was added to the 30-man roster.
EDGE Analysis
The 28-year-old spent most of 2019 at Double-A Arkansas but had a strong showing in 17 games with Triple-A Tacoma, posting an .861 OPS with seven extra-base hits in 69 plate appearances. According to Greg Johns of MLB.com, Odom will enter Tuesday's starting lineup with Austin Nola (undisclosed) being a late scratch.
