Soler (hamstring) has been activated from the 15-day disabled list and he will bat sixth in the order Friday against Oakland.

After a nearly two-month absence due to a hamstring injury, Soler returns to the Cubs' lineup Friday. Manager Joe Maddon took advantage of the fact that the Cubs are playing in an American League park this weekend, which allows him to plug Soler in as the DH. Soler was slashing .223/.322/.377 with five home runs and 36 strikeouts over 130 at-bats prior to landing on the disabled list. The Cubs have yet to announce a corresponding move for activating Soler.
