Out since early June with a left oblique strain, Colorado Rockies infielder/outfielder Kris Bryant was activated off the 10-day injured list on Tuesday.
In a corresponding move, outfielder Sean Bouchard was optioned to Triple-A Albuquerque.
Bryant, 32, played in three rehab games at Triple-A over the weekend and went 6-for-11 with two homers.
Limited to 24 games this season due to injuries, Bryant has hit .186 with two homers and 10 RBIs in 101 at-bats for Colorado.
Bryant, the No. 2 overall pick in the 2012 draft, a four-time All-Star and 2016 National League MVP with the Chicago Cubs, is in the third year of a seven-year, $182 million contract.
In 10 seasons with the Cubs (2015-21), San Francisco Giants (2021) and Rockies (2022-present), Bryant has hit .274 with 184 homers and 542 RBIs in 1,030 games.
