Starling Marte has been activated from the disabled list. Jose Osuna was optioned to Triple-A to make room for Marte on the Pirates' roster. (Rob Biertempfel on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact
Marte is returning from an oblique injury. He was contributing across the board prior to the injury, posting a triple slash of .308/.366/.503 with six homers and 10 stolen bases. While it's great for the Pirates and fantasy owners to get Marte back, the move also indicated that Austin Meadows has earned a longer look as he was at risk of being optioned to Triple-A over Osuna.
