Dodgers activate Yasiel Puig from DL, back in lineup Saturday

The Los Angeles Dodgers activated right fielder Yasiel Puig from the disabled list Saturday.

Puig, who missed 15 games with a right oblique strain, is in the lineup and batting seventh in Saturday's game against the  Braves in Atlanta.

He is batting .265 with 11 home runs and 35 RBIs.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said the club will use a rotation going forward so that Puig, Matt Kemp, Joc Pederson and Alex Verdugo get enough rest.
