White Sox right fielder Avisail Garcia was activated from the 10-day disabled list Friday after missing two months because of a strained right hamstring.
Garcia was in the lineup for Game 1 of Chicago’s doubleheader against the Oakland Athletics – his first appearance since April 23. He was off to a slow start with a .233 average and four RBIs in 18 games after hitting .330 and driving in 80 runs last year while making his first All-Star team.
Garcia also hurt his right knee taking a swing while he was on the DL Marquez Valdes-Scantling Color Rush Jersey , prior to going on a rehab assignment. But now that he is healthy, he hopes to get on a roll.
”My knee is good,” he said. ”My hamstring is good. I have no pain in my body right now. I feel great Vinny Curry Color Rush Jersey , great and focused and trying to compete every single day.”
Manager Rick Renteria said he had no hesitation starting Avisail Garcia and returning utility player Leury Garcia in the opener of the doubleheader despite the soggy conditions. He said neither player would start Game 2, though they would be available off the bench.
Renteria also said there would be no limitations on them after Friday. Leury Garcia was starting in left field in his first appearance since May 23.
The White Sox also optioned infielder Jose Rondon to Triple-A Charlotte, and designated outfielder Trayce Thompson for assignment on Friday.

The New York Jets have fired offensive line coach Steve Marshall after three seasons.
The move Wednesday comes a week after coach Todd Bowles parted ways with offensive coordinator John Morton. The Jets have not yet hired a replacement for Morton Jonathan Allen Color Rush Jersey , who was in the role for just one season.
The Jets’ offense finished ranked 28th overall this season, and the offensive line struggled with consistency. Center Wesley Johnson, backup center Jonotthan Harrison and backup guard Dakota Dozier are scheduled to be free agents this offseason.
Marshall was hired in 2015 after serving as an assistant offensive line coach for Green Bay. He has also coached with Houston and Cleveland Geron Christian Color Rush Jersey , along with stops at 12 schools during nearly 30 years at the college level.
