Austin Nola (knee) activated, starting for Padres on Thursday

San Diego Padres catcher Austin Nola has been activated from the 10-day injured list.

What It Means:

Nola was on the shelf for over two months due to a left knee sprain, but he's ready to return to the field. He's getting the nod behind the plate, batting seventh in the order against Marlins starter Anthony Bender.

Our models project Nola for 0.7 hits, 0.3 runs, 0.1 home runs, 0.3 RBI and 6.7 FanDuel points.
