Marlins activate Hechavarria from the DL; option Riddle to minors

SAN DIEGO - The Marlins reinstated shortstop Adeiny Hechavarria from the disabled list on Thursday in advance of the team’s weekend series against the Padres in San Diego.

Hechavarria, who played a pair of rehab games in the minors earlier this week, has not played since April 8 due to a left oblique strain, and is 4 for 20 at the plate in five games this season.

With Hechavarria’s return, the Marlins’ starting lineup is intact for the first time this season.

The Marlins just got third baseman Martin Prado back from the disabled list this past Monday after he missed the first two weeks with a hamstring strain.
