The Marlins activated Ruiz (oblique) from the injured list Thursday.

A left oblique strain has kept Ruiz on the injured list since Opening Day, but he began playing in rehab games at Triple-A Jacksonville on April 15 and has now been cleared to rejoin the big club. The 27-year-old outfielder owns a .639 OPS in his MLB career and will likely see most of his opportunities against left-handed starters while with Miami. Austin Slater was designated for assignment in a corresponding move.
