The Marlins activated Lopez (shoulder) from the 60-day injured list ahead of his scheduled start Sunday against the Phillies, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
On the shelf since the All-Star break with a strained left rotator cuff, Lopez was able to make it back on the mound for the final game of the regular season after recently wrapping up a two-start rehab assignment at Triple-A Jacksonville. Since Lopez was capped at two innings in his most recent outing Sept. 23, the Marlins presumably won't have him cover more than four frames Sunday before turning the game over to the bullpen.
