San Francisco Giants right fielder Nori Aoki will be activated from the DL on Thursday, according to CSN.
Giants manager Bruce Bochy told CSN that Aoki is good to go and he hasn’t experience any concussion-related symptoms. He took batting practice over the weekend with no setbacks.
No Wednesday starter decision yet, Bochy said. Also, he expects Aoki back when DL stint is up. Aoki feels great.

Aoki, 33, suffered the concussion during the San Fran’s game last Wednesday against the Washington Nationals. The outfielder has missed five games, and will miss two more before he returns to the lineup.
In 80 games this season, Aoki has a .302 BA with 4 HR, 24 RBI and 12 SB. When he’s healthy, Aoki has definitely produced for the Giants.
The Giants went into Monday trailing the Los Angeles Dodgers by 2 1/2 games for first place in the NL West while also trailing the Chicago Cubs by 3 1/2 games for the second NL Wild Card spot. San Fran will need Aoki in the lineup for the final stretch as it will be a dogfight to defend the World Series in October.
