Schwarber (hamstring/groin) was activated off the injured list Friday, Rob Bradford of WEEI.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Schwarber's hamstring issue wound up costing him six weeks. The Red Sox hope their deadline-day acquisition will quickly recapture the form he showed immediately prior to the injury, when he homered 16 times in 21 games and recorded a 1.383 OPS. Marwin Gonzalez was designated for assignment in a corresponding move.
