SAN FRANCISCO – The San Diego Padres activated infielder-outfielder Mark Sweeney from the 15-day disabled list before Wednesday’s game against the San Francisco Giants.

Sweeney has been out since June 6 with a strained right oblique. He hit .182 in 40 games.

Pitcher Kevin Pickford, who received a no-decision in the Padres’ 10-7 victory over the Giants on Tuesday, was optioned to Triple-A Portland to make room for Sweeney.
