Casey Blake was activated from the 15-day DL on Wednesday after missing time with a bad back. He will take the spot of Ivan De Jesus, who was sent back to Triple-A Albuquerque.
Blake had been lobbying to make his return as soon as he could, and he got his way. He had a good first start to the season, starting at third on Wednesday and going 2-for-3 with an RBI triple in the #2 hole behind Rafael Furcal. He's the main guy at third, but won't play everyday. Juan Uribe will now move back to second.
As for De Jesus, the decision to demote him was pretty easy. He got two starts against the Giants and went 0-for-7 with five strikeouts and a walk. With Aaron Miles and Jamey Carroll as backups, the at-bats just wouldn't have been there. He'll be back down the line.
