OAKLAND -- The Chicago Cubs activated outfielder Jorge Soler from the disabled list and designated relief pitcher Joe Nathan for assignment on Friday.Soler, 24, batted sixth and played designated hitter in his first game since June 6, a 7-2 win over the Oakland Athletics.In his first at-bat, he hit a three-run home run in the first inning. Soler also reached on a fielders choice and scored on Javier Baezs double in the third.Soler injured his hamstring two months ago, which continued his yearly trend of spending time on the disabled list because of leg problems. Soler split his rehab time between Double-A and Triple-A and hit .162, which led manager Joe Maddon to indicate that Soler needed to work on his timing before he was recalled.The team changed course this weekend, knowing that it could install Soler in the DH role and admitting that an extended stay in the minors wasnt energizing him.I think youre going to see better, Maddon said Friday afternoon. Ive seen that with guys that have to go back to Triple-A for an extended period of time. ... Im not saying its right or wrong, it just happens.Maddon said there are no restrictions on Soler, who will be watched carefully as he restarts his season. He had five home runs and a .223 batting average in 130 at-bats in the first part of this season.I want to see how he responds to all this, Maddon said.Nathan, 41, returned this season after having his second major elbow surgery and was signed by the Cubs in May, well before they added lefties Mike Montgomery and Aroldis Chapman via trades. The Cubs didnt have time to bring Nathan along as they begin their pennant push.He needed more time, Maddon said. We had so many other people to get involved. It just didnt work out immediately in a sense.The Cubs want to bring second baseman Tommy La Stella back from the minors, though he was given personal time after being optioned last weekend.Hes taking batting practice, staying active, Maddon said of La Stella. Were trying to get him back up here. Its not clear-cut.We have so many tough decisions to make. ... Im not bemoaning anything.This is the first time in a long time that the Cubs have had a healthy roster. Cheap Nike Air Max Trainers Sale .

With no player values, formations or position requirements in Sky Sports Fantasy Six-a-Side, the pundits can pick whoever they want except for only one of the four Elite Players, who are Riyad Mahrez, Jamie Vardy, Graziano Pelle and Saido Mane this week.Heres who they have gone for... Mersons VIRiyad Mahrez - Jamie Vardys goals have dried up and hes been the one that has stepped up. If theres a man to make the difference in a tight game then hes the number one contender.Shane Long - Hes the man that can cause problems with his movement and Robert Huth and Wes Morgan wont enjoy playing against him. Leicester will have to go out and chase the win that will make for space for Long to get in behind.NGolo Kante - Hes having a magnificent season and making a mockery of the fact very few people had even heard of him at the start of the season, even scoring for France - the cheek of him! The way he gets around the park is like having an extra man in midfield. NGolo Kante scored on his France debut against Russia Steven Davis - Im a big fan of his as hes very underrated and always does a goood job.dddddddddddd Hell complete plenty of passes and create chances.Robert Huth - Leicester have three clean sheets on the bounce but Ive got him in there more for his goals than his clean sheets. A lot of defenders go up for set-pieces because their managers tell them to but this guy always looks a threat. Marc Albrighton - He takes corners and free-kicks so hes going to create plenty of chances and has been another one of the unsung heroes of the season. Its ridiculous to think Aston Villa let him go! Marc Albrighton has flourished at Leicester after struggling at Aston Villa Le Tiss VIGraziano Pelle - Hes rediscover his scoring touch with three goals in his last two games and Im backing him to net again on Sunday.Shinji Okazaki - Im loading my team with attacking players because I think its going to be a high-scoring game. Okazaki obviously has not been as prolific as others but hes still got a few goals this season and creates chances.Virgil van Dijk - Im not expecting us to keep a clean sheet but hes a real threat to score from a set-pieces. With three goals this season, Scott Dann is the only defender to have scored more. Virgil van Dijk has impressed in his first season at Southampton NGolo Kante - Hes one of the stars of the season and hes got to be a solid pick, making plenty of passes, tackles and interceptions.Shane Long - His pace is going to be key to hitting Leicester on the counter-attack, where we know we can really hurt them. He was also on the scoresheet for Ireland so confidence should be high.Danny Drinkwater - Talking of confidence, a man-of-the-match award on his England debut will have done Drinkwaters no harm at all. Hell probably complete more passes than any other player and should create chances as well.Who makes your VI? Pick your Sky Sports Fantasy Six-a-Side team here.
