Braves activate OF Diaz from DL

Baseball Betting Lines

06/29/2010 - Atlanta, GA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Atlanta Braves activated outfielder Matt Diaz from the 15-day disabled list on Tuesday.

Diaz, who was placed on the DL on May 15 and underwent surgery on his infected right thumb shortly after, takes the roster spot of rookie outfielder Jason Heyward. The first-year sensation was put on the 15-day DL on Monday due to a deep bone bruise in his left thumb.

Heyward underwent an MRI on the thumb Monday morning and had it placed in a cast Tuesday, which he will wear for one week. The club said surgery will not be required and he's not expected to return until after the All-Star break. He is currently the second-leading vote-getter amongst National League outfielders for the upcoming All-Star game.

The standout 20-year-old is second on the club with 11 home runs and 45 runs batted in while hitting .251 through 71 games.

Diaz, 32, had been scuffling prior to the injury, hitting only .178 with five runs batted in over 26 games this season.
