M’s 3B Beltre back after 5-week absence (AP)
Seattle Mariners third baseman Adrian Beltre is back in the lineup after a five-week absence. The Mariners activated Beltre from the disabled list Tuesday and designated infielder Chris Woodward for assignment. Beltre had surgery June 30 to remove a bone spur from his left shoulder. He was expected to be out six to eight weeks but recovered quickly.
