The M's activated infielder Dave Hansen from the 15-day disabled list after Sunday's game against Baltimore, sending outfielder Chris Snelling back to Triple-A Tacoma. Hansen, hitting .194 in 25 games, went on the DL on July 3 with an inflamed left elbow. Considered one of the game's best pinch hitters, he joined the Mariners for the second time in two seasons on May 3.
