Ruggiano (groin) is back in the lineup Thursday against the Brewers. Ruggiano missed Wednesday's contest due to groin injury, but it was considered to be minor, as the outfielder was said to be available to pinch hit. He wasn't needed in this role, but will return to action in right field for the Thursday afternoon contest. When healthy, Ruggiano should play right field on most days, as Nate Schierholtz was placed on release waivers Wednesday after being designated for assignment a week earlier.
