The Pittsburgh Pirates made a flurry of roster moves prior to their series opener in Arizona on Friday.
According to a team announcement, first baseman Ji-Man Choi returned from his rehab assignment and was activated from the 60-day injured list. He had been out since April 23 with a strained Achilles tendon.
Prior to his injury, Choi appeared in only nine games for the Pirates, hitting just .125 with two home runs. In nine rehab appearances between Double-A Altoona and Triple-A Indianapolis, Choi hit .323 with three home runs, nine RBI, and a 1.146 OPS.
