Philadelphia has activated RHP Jose Contreras from the disabled list for the first time since last June following an elbow injury and subsequent surgery. The team plans to go slowly with the 40-year-old as he will be used sparingly out of the bullpen. Contreras recently completed a rehab assignment at Clearwater where he went 0-1 with an 8.31 ERA.
Contreras started last season as Philadelphia's closer but was limited to only 17 games due to injury. To make room for the former All-Star, Philadelphia optioned LHP Joe Savery to Lehigh Valley.
