Juan Lagares was activated from the 15-day disabled list prior to Saturday’s 4-3 win over the Cubs and quickly found himself in the middle of the action — not in a good way.
In his first plate appearance since returning from a partially torn ligament in his left thumb, Lagares pinch-hit for Kelly Johnson (who was pinch-hitting for Bartolo Colon) with one out and runners on the corners in the bottom of the sixth inning against Cubs lefty Travis Wood.
Lagares promptly hit into an inning-ending double play.
