SAN DIEGO (AP) — San Diego Padres first baseman Eric Hosmer has been activated from the injured list after missing 11 of the first 14 games with gastritis.
To make room on the roster, outfielder Abraham Almonte was optioned to the alternate training site.
Hosmer was placed on the IL on Aug. 1, retroactive to July 29. He was scratched from the lineup three previous games.
He has yet to hit a ball on the ground. He hit two bases-clearing doubles in a 7-2 win against Arizona on opening day and a home run two games later.
