BOSTON (AP) -The Arizona Diamondbacks activated outfielder Eric Byrnes off the 15-day disabled list Monday and optioned outfielder Alex Romero to Triple-A Tucson.
Byrnes missed 25 games with tears in both hamstrings and went on the DL on May 27. He finished a three-game rehabilitation stint with Single-A Visalia with one hit in 12 at-bats.
Byrnes was reinstated in time for Monday’s series opener against the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park. He was penciled in as the leadoff hitter and will play left field.
Byrnes was hitting just .219 with six homers, 23 RBIs and four steals in 46 games before the injury.
Romero went 8-for-35 with three RBIs with Arizona.
