The Mariners recalled catcher Jhonny Pereda from Triple-A Tacoma in a corresponding move. They also activated outfielder Taylor Ward, who came over from Baltimore on Monday, and right-handed reliever Seranthony Dominguez, who was dealt from the Chicago White Sox on Sunday.
Seattle also activated third baseman Brendan Donovan (left groin strain) from the 10-day injured list.
