Cincinnati Reds right fielder Scott Schebler was activated from the 10-day disabled list in his return from a shoulder injury before Saturday's game in Chicago against the Cubs.

Schebler was hitting leadoff against the Cubs. To make room for Schebler, the Reds optioned outfielder Aristides Aquino to Double-A Pensacola.

Schebler, 27, last played on July 14 when he hurt his shoulder as he banged into the right-field fence while making a catch in St. Louis against the Cardinals.

Schebler entered Saturday hitting .278 with 12 home runs and 37 RBIs. He was moved into the leadoff spot about a month before his injury.

Aquino, 24, was recalled from Pensacola on Aug. 17 when first baseman Joey Votto went on the 10-day disabled list. He appeared in one game for the Reds, striking out in his only plate appearance as a pinch hitter on Aug. 19. It was his major league debut.

In 107 games for the Blue Wahoos this season, Aquino is hitting .249 with 18 home runs and 49 RBIs. He has struck out 103 times and walked 33 times in 416 plate appearances.
