Pollock has rejoined the Mariners in a coaching role, Shannon Drayer of Seattle Sports 710 AM reports.
While Pollock has not officially announced his retirement from professional baseball, it would appear his playing career is over. The 36-year-old had a rough finish to his 12-year career but still concluded with a 111 OPS+, 145 home runs and 122 stolen bases. He made the All-Star team and won a Gold Glove in 2015.
The Giants activated Pollock (oblique) from the 10-day injured list and released him Monday, Jon Morosi of MLB Network reports.
After being acquired from the Mariners on July 31, Pollock went 0-for-6 over two games with the Giants before landing on the IL with a left oblique strain. He was cleared to begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Sacramento this weekend and seems to be back to full health, but the Giants didn't have room for him on the 28-man active roster and will now part ways with the veteran outfielder. Pollock has endured a rough 2023 campaign between his stops with Seattle and San Francisco, slashing .165/.215/.308 with five home runs, 15 RBI and 15 runs scored in 144 plate appearances.
Pollock (oblique) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Sacramento on Friday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Pollock has been out since Aug. 9 and was originally expected to miss three weeks. He'll be sidelined a bit beyond that timeline, though he should return at some point in early September assuming his rehab goes smoothly from this point.

Pollock (oblique) could begin a rehab assignment soon, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Pollock has been cleared to take part in all baseball activities, and it may not be long before he's given the green light to resume playing in games. The Giants placed Pollock on the 10-day injured list Aug. 9 with a left oblique strain, an injury that had been expected to keep him out for about three weeks.
