Cleveland Indians star Francisco Lindor is returning to the field for the first time this season.
The Indians announced Saturday that Lindor has been activated from the 10-day injured list. They opened a spot on their 25-man roster for him by designating Hanley Ramirez for assignment.
Lindor said he was ready to return from calf and ankle injuries in an article for the Players' Tribune on Friday:
"So now, here I am. Back. Ready to roll. Ready to help this team win it all.
"And after having missed this game so much for the past several weeks, and spending some time thinking about the ups and downs I’ve experienced to get here, I am going to cherish every single second I am able to play this game.
