Hedges (hand) was activated off the 7-day disabled list Thursday, Dennis Lin of the Union-Tribune reports.
Hedges returns to the Triple-A El Paso roster after being on the shelf for six weeks due to a broken hamate bone in his hand. Given the length of his downtime, Hedges will likely remain at Triple-A for the foreseeable future while Derek Norris and Christian Bethancourt serve as the regular backstops up at the major league level for the Padres.
