Cuddyer (shoulder) was activated from the DL and is back in the lineup Saturday against the Reds, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports. Despite missing more than two months with the shoulder injury, Cuddyer will immediately slot into the two-hole Saturday to take on right-hander Dylan Axelrod. The 35-year-old has been limited to just 31 games so far this season, but he's performed when healthy, slashing .317/.366/.500 with five homers and 16 RBI. He'll likely occupy a spot in the top third of the order the rest of the way with Troy Tulowitzki (thigh) and Carlos Gonzalez (knee) out for the year.
