Mariners' Ty France: Could return Monday

Mariners manager Scott Servais said France (wrist) has a "good chance" to be activated from the 10-day injured list during the team's three-game series in Oakland that begins Monday, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

France was stuck in a prolonged slump at the plate prior to landing on the IL on May 14 with an inflamed left wrist, but his impending return should nonetheless provide a lift to a Seattle infield that has been hit hard by injuries of late. Once he's reinstated, France should step in as an everyday regular once again.
