Coghlan (ribs) was activated off the DL on Thursday and is in the starting lineup against the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

Coghlan will return after missing the minimum 15 days, and he was able to play in five rehab games with Triple-A Iowa during that time. He'll get the start in left field Thursday and bat seventh against Jeff Samardzija, but he likely won't be in line for a regular role down the stretch run of the season.
