Indians activated OF Michael Bourn from the 15-day disabled list.
The move was made official Thursday afternoon after left-hander Scott Barnes was sent down to Triple-A Columbus. Bourn has been sidelined since April 14 due to a laceration on his right index finger, but he's finally back to 100 percent. Be sure to activate the speedster in fantasy leagues.

Michael Bourn (hand) will be activated from the disabled list in time for Friday's game against the Tigers.
Bourn has been on the shelf since April 14 with a deep laceration on his right index finger. He's spent the past couple of days playing in rehab games at Triple-A Columbus and can safely be inserted back into fantasy lineups right away. The speedster was batting .333/.375/.600 with two homers, seven runs scored and one stolen base in 10 games before suffering the gash on a slide into first base.

Michael Bourn (finger) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Columbus on Monday.
Bourn had still been feeling some pain on his right index finger, but he's taken batting practice the last few days with no issues. He shouldn't need many rehab at-bats before being activated, so expect to see him back in the Indians' lineup later this week.
