SAN FRANCISCO (AP) – The San Francisco Giants have activated pitcher Barry Zito from the 15-day disabled list.
Zito, out since Aug. 1 due to a recurring foot and ankle injury, took fielding practice Sunday and was cleared to play after manager Bruce Bochy met with vice president of baseball operations Bobby Evans.
The Giants have no immediate plans to return Zito to their starting rotation, however. Bochy said he plans on using the left-hander in a variety of roles.
Zito (3-4) has two years remaining on the $126 million contract he signed with the Giants prior to the 2007 season.
