OAKLAND -- The Chicago Cubs activated outfielder Jorge Soler from the disabled list and designated relief pitcher Joe Nathan for assignment on Friday.Soler, 24, batted sixth and played designated hitter in his first game since June 6, a 7-2 win over the Oakland Athletics.In his first at-bat, he hit a three-run home run in the first inning. Soler also reached on a fielders choice and scored on Javier Baezs double in the third.Soler injured his hamstring two months ago, which continued his yearly trend of spending time on the disabled list because of leg problems. Soler split his rehab time between Double-A and Triple-A and hit .162, which led manager Joe Maddon to indicate that Soler needed to work on his timing before he was recalled.The team changed course this weekend, knowing that it could install Soler in the DH role and admitting that an extended stay in the minors wasnt energizing him.I think youre going to see better, Maddon said Friday afternoon. Ive seen that with guys that have to go back to Triple-A for an extended period of time. ... Im not saying its right or wrong, it just happens.Maddon said there are no restrictions on Soler, who will be watched carefully as he restarts his season. He had five home runs and a .223 batting average in 130 at-bats in the first part of this season.I want to see how he responds to all this, Maddon said.Nathan, 41, returned this season after having his second major elbow surgery and was signed by the Cubs in May, well before they added lefties Mike Montgomery and Aroldis Chapman via trades. The Cubs didnt have time to bring Nathan along as they begin their pennant push.He needed more time, Maddon said. We had so many other people to get involved. It just didnt work out immediately in a sense.The Cubs want to bring second baseman Tommy La Stella back from the minors, though he was given personal time after being optioned last weekend.Hes taking batting practice, staying active, Maddon said of La Stella. Were trying to get him back up here. Its not clear-cut.We have so many tough decisions to make. ... Im not bemoaning anything.This is the first time in a long time that the Cubs have had a healthy roster. Cheap NBA Jerseys Authentic .

The right-hander was to have an MRI, and the Tigers were taking a wait-and-see approach on his next start.His lat was a little bit tight, not really related to what the issue was when he was on the DL, manager Brad Ausmus said. He just couldnt seem to get loose. There was no pain, he was just having trouble getting extended and locating the ball.Zimmermann (9-5) allowed six runs and six hits in 1 2/3 innings, failing to strike out a batter.

He protected the big lead without much drama Thursday after a shaky first inning.POWERKinslers homer was his 21st of the season and Miguel Cabreras was his 25th.Hes mostly on the corner, and it was no exception today, Kinsler said of Quintana. For myself, I just got one over the middle -- basically right down the middle.
