Marcelo Mayer Activated From IL to Make Giants Debut

The San Francisco Giants activated infielder Marcelo Mayer from the 10-day injured list, positioning him to make his team debut as the designated hitter. Mayer has been sidelined since late June due to a left forearm stress reaction with Boston and a subsequent right foot bone bruise during a rehab assignment. Acquired at the trade deadline, the 23-year-old posted a .223/.278/.346 batting line across 114 big-league games this season and seeks a fresh start in San Francisco.
