Lee could be recalled Saturday from Triple-A Tacoma, as the Mariners are scheduled to face a string of left-handed pitchers the next couple weeks, the Seattle Times reports.
If the Mariners put Tom Wilhelmsen on the DL, Lee will be brought back to add a right-handed bat to the bench. Lee was sent down last week after losing his way at the plate. But he's seems to be finding his stroke once again. In six games at Tacoma, Lee is 12-for-24 with three doubles, two homers and six RBI. Lee can only be brought back now as an injury replacement. Otherwise, he has to serve the 10-day minimum on a demotion to the minor leagues.
