Johnson is not in the lineup Wednesday against the Dodgers.

Analysis:

Johnson was activated from the DL on Wednesday after a brief two-game rehab assignment, but will not immediately slot back into the starting lineup. Instead, manager Fredi Gonzalez will go with the newly-acquired Juan Uribe at the hot corner in the series finale against Los Angeles. The two players figure to be deployed in some sort of timeshare moving forward, though the team hasn't indicated how the playing time will divvy up exactly.
