Dodgers activate Franklin Gutierrez from DL, option Scott Van Slyke to Triple-A

LOS ANGELES — The Dodgers activated outfielder Franklin Gutierrez off the disabled list on Tuesday, just in time to start against Giants left-handed starting pitcher Matt Moore.

The corresponding move was to option Scott Van Slyke to Triple-A Oklahoma City.

Gutierrez missed 19 games after suffering a left hamstring strain on April 10 against the Cubs at Wrigley Field. He played two games on a rehab assignment with Class-A Rancho Cucamonga, going 3-for-6 with a home run and a walk for the Quakes.

He played five innings in left field on Saturday, then six more innings in left on Sunday before rejoining the team on Monday in Los Angeles.
