After suffering a left oblique strain in spring training, Miami Marlins outfielder Jesus Sanchez was activated from the 10-day injured list and will make his season debut Tuesday in the series opener against the visiting Arizona Diamondbacks.

Sanchez, 27, is in the starting lineup, playing center field and batting second as he begins his sixth season with the team.

In three rehab games with Triple-A Jacksonville, Sanchez went 3-for-10 with a double, a walk and three strikeouts. He played in a career-high 149 games last season with the Marlins, batting .252 with 18 home runs and 64 RBIs.

In a corresponding move, the Marlins designated corner infielder Jonah Bride for assignment.

Bride, 29, endured a tough start to the season, going 4-for-40 with 15 strikeouts and two RBIs in 12 games.

The Marlins also sent right-hander Xzavion Curry, 26, to Jacksonville after he cleared waivers.

In three relief appearances this season, Curry is 0-1 with a 6.00 ERA in three innings.
