    The New York Yankees announced Saturday they activated first baseman Greg Bird from the 60-day disabled list and called him up to the major League roster.

    Bird is in Saturday's lineup, batting sixth and playing first base, for the Yanks' clash with the Seattle Mariners.

    The 24-year-old has appeared in just 19 MLB games this season because of an ankle injury that required surgery.

    Bird struggled mightily prior to landing on the DL, as he hit just .100 with one home run and three RBI in 72 plate appearances. It was a far cry from what he did in spring training, when he was arguably the best hitter in baseball, batting .451 with eight homers and 15 RBI.
