Reyes (oblique) was activated from the 10-day injured list and will start Friday's game as the designated hitter, Ryan Lewis of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

Reyes has been on the injured list since late May with a left oblique strain. He began a rehab assignment June 21 and is now set to rejoin Cleveland after playing seven games in the minors. He was previously expected to return Saturday, but he'll come back a day early and hit in the heart of the order Friday. Yu Chang was optioned to Triple-A Columbus in a corresponding roster move. Per Lewis, manager Terry Francona said that Reyes won't receive everyday playing time initially as the club exercises caution in bringing him back into the fold.
