Welcome back, Dexter Fowler.
After missing 28 games with a right hamstring strain, the Chicago Cubs outfielder was activated off the 15-day disabled list prior to Friday's matchup against the Milwaukee Brewers, and the outfielder didn't take long to announce his return. Fowler sent a 94-mph sinker from Brewers starter Jimmy Nelson deep into straight-away center for a leadoff home run in the game's first at-bat.
Oh, and the hamstring looked completely fine as he rounded the diamond, too.
