Bender (back) was reinstated from the 60-day injured list Tuesday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Bender had been out since mid-May, but he's ready to after four scoreless, hitless rehab appearances. Prior to his absence, he'd recorded a mediocre 4.50 ERA in 14 innings of work but had recorded six saves. It's unlikely he'll unseat current closer Tanner Scott right away.
