Troy Tulowitzki's stint on the disabled list is over. The Blue Jays activated their All-Star shortstop, who had been dealing with a sore right quad, on Saturday, before their game against the Orioles at Camden Yards.
Tulowitzki went out for a rehab assignment with Class A Dunedin on Thursday. But manager John Gibbons said Tulowitzki would determine when he was ready to return, and two days later, he is rejoining the team. In a corresponding move, Toronto optioned infielder Andy Burns to Triple-A Buffalo.
Tulowitzki has been out since May 27, when he last played against the Red Sox -- although he initially injured his quad a few days earlier while stealing a base against the Yankees. Even before the injury, Tulowitzki had been scuffling at the plate this season, with a .204 batting average and 49 strikeouts in 46 games. The 31-year-old does have eight home runs.
