Alexi Amarista was activated off the DL yesterday with his right hamstring having healed enough to warrant a rehab start with San Antonio, in which he went 2-5. Amarista had started 2016 going 7 for 21 when he pulled his hamstring April 19th. His return to the lineup signaled the end of Tayron (pronounced Tie-ron) Guerrero’s brief major league stint. It also adds a second utility infielder to the mix for Andy Green.

This season, in 9 games prior to the injury, which is a decidedly small sample size, Alexi had nearly evenly split his time between second, third and shortstop, with most metrics saying he was a little worse in the defensive range and fielding.
