Navarro (hamstring) was activated from the 7-day disabled list Tuesday, Tacoma Rainiers broadcaster Mike Curto reports.
Navarro opened his Triple-A season on the disabled list due to a hamstring injury but is now set to return to action. The infielder slashed .278/.342/.380 with Triple-A Salt Lake of the Angels' organization last season.
Navarro has been limited in practice and held out of game action with a hamstring injury, Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Navarro is in camp with the Mariners as a non-roster invitee. With just 10 career major-league games under his belt (all in 2015), Navarro had a very slim chance of breaking camp with Seattle even before this injury.

Mariners' Reynaldo Navarro: Gets spring invite from Mariners
Rotowire
Navarro signed a minor-league contract with the Mariners which includes an invitation to spring training.
Navarro hasn't appeared in the majors since 2015, spending each of the previous two seasons with the Angels' minor-league affiliates. He hit a respectable .278/.342/.380 across 126 games with Triple-A Salt Lake last season, but that wasn't enough for him to make it back to the show. Navarro will get a chance to compete for a bench role in spring, though he'll likely wind up as organizational infield depth in 2018.

That said, Navarro has a lackluster slash line of .253/.278/.333 over 93 plate appearances with Triple-A Salt Lake in 2016.

Angels' Reynaldo Navarro: Competing for second base job this spring
Rotowire
Navarro is part of an open competition for the Angels' starting second base job this spring, the Orange County Register reports.

Navarro posted a .261/.310/.372 line with six homers and four steals in 89 games at Triple-A Norfolk as a 25-year-old last season.
