Gonzalez (back) was activated from the 60-day disabled list prior to Friday's game against Detroit.
Gonzalez hasn't played in a major-league game since June 11 after suffering a herniated disk in his back, but he appears to be fully healthy following nine rehab appearances over the past couple of weeks, and is batting seventh in the order for Friday's contest. Prior to his injury, Gonzalez was hitting .255/.304/.339 with one home run and 23 RBI in 49 games. It will be interesting to see how manager Dave Roberts fills out his starting lineup with the 35-year-old back in the fold. Cody Bellinger may see a majority of the starts in left while Gonzalez mans first base, but Gonzalez figures to retreat to the bench at least a couple of times per week. In a corresponding move, Rob Segedin was optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City.
