The Detroit Tigers activated second baseman Jonathan Schoop from the 10-day injured list on Tuesday.

Schoop has been sidelined since sustaining a sprained right ankle on Aug. 20. He went on the IL three days later.

The 2017 All-Star has five 20-homer seasons in his career. He has a .256 career average with 172 home runs and 533 RBIs in 1,117 games over 10 seasons for the Baltimore Orioles (2013-18), Milwaukee Brewers (2018), Minnesota Twins (2019) and Tigers.

Detroit also recalled left-hander Joey Wentz from Triple-A Toledo and optioned right-hander Luis Castillo and infielder Josh Lester to Toledo.
