Former Cedar Rapids Xavier standout Ryan Sweeney has been activated from the 15-day disabled list and was in the line-up for Friday night's game at Philadelphia. He went 0 for 4 in the Cubs' 2-1 win over the Phillies.
Sweeney, who has been on the DL since May 3 after straining his right hamstring making a catch in the outfield against the St. Louis Cardinals, was in center field and batted second. Sweeney replaced Emilio Bonifacio on the active roster. Bonifacio strained his rib cage swinging the bat in Thursday night's loss at Pittsburgh.
In two games with Class A Kane County in the Midwest League on a rehab assignment, Sweeney went 0-for-5. He is batting .186 (11 for 59) for the Cubs.
