Cubs activate OF Jason Heyward

Cubs outfielder Jason Heyward has been activated from the disabled list and was in Chicago's starting lineup Tuesday against Tampa Bay.

Heyward has been out since June 18 with a hand injury. He was starting in right field and batting sixth Tuesday against the Rays.

To make room for Heyward on the roster, Chicago optioned infielder Jeimer Candelario and right-hander Felix Pena to Triple-A Iowa. The Cubs also promoted left-hander Jack Leathersich from Iowa.
