CHICAGO -- Gordon Beckham will have an opportunity to compete against his former White Sox teammates this weekend, but his return has given Emilio Bonifacio reason to have reservations about any future plans to play at Wrigley Field.
The Braves activated Beckham from the disabled list and designated Bonifacio for assignment before playing Thursday night's makeup game against the Cubs.
Beckham had been sidelined since suffering his second strained left hamstring on June 1. This same ailment had forced him to spend three weeks on the disabled list earlier this season.
Braves manager Brian Snitker did not wait to get Beckham back into action, positioning him at shortstop for Thursday night's game.
