The wild-card eligible Seattle Mariners called up top catching prospect Harry Ford on Monday as rosters expanded to 28 players throughout baseball.

The Mariners also recalled infielder Leo Rivas from Triple-A Tacoma, while they selected the contract of right-hander Luke Jackson. Right-hander Sauryn Lao was designated for assignment and veteran infielder Donovan Solano was released.

Ford, who is set for his major league debut, is considered the fourth best overall prospect in the Mariners' system by MLB Pipeline and No. 40 overall in the majors. A first-round pick by Seattle in the 2021 draft out of North Cobb High School in Kennesaw, Ga., the 22-year-old was batting .283 with 16 home runs and 74 RBIs in 97 games at Tacoma.

Rivas, 27, was batting .283 in 30 games with the Mariners earlier this season, while Jackson, 34, was a combined 2-5 with a 454 ERA in 42 combined relief appearances for the Texas Rangers and Detroit Tigers this season. Solano, 37, batted .252 with three homers and 21 RBIs in 69 games this season.
