Pierre activated by L.A. Friday: The Los Angeles Dodgers activated outfielder Juan Pierre from the 15-day disabled list Friday. They made room on the 25-man roster by placing outfielder Delwyn Young on the DL retroactive to Thursday with a strained right oblique. Pierre, who missed 20 games because of a sprained left knee while on the disabled list for the first time in his career, was in the lineup batting leadoff against the Washington Nationals on Friday night in the opener of a three-game series.

Fantasy Analysis
Pierre was injured June 29 when he slid into second during a stolen base attempt in the sixth inning of the Dodgers' 1-0 home loss to the Los Angeles Angels. He played left field the last two days with Triple-A Las Vegas while on a rehab assignment, going 3-for-6 with a double and two walks against Omaha. The 30-year-old Pierre was hitting .277 with 35 stolen bases in 73 games when he was injured. He is baseball's active stolen base leader with 424. Pierre is still a nice Rotisserie option, but this injury could force him to lose a step. For that reason, he's only an NL-only option in the majority of leagues. (Updated 07/25/2008).
