The Philadelphia Phillies had catcher Carlos Ruiz back for Sunday's game against the New York Mets.
Ruiz served a 25-game suspension for using a banned amphetamine. The suspension began on Opening Day.
The 34-year-old had a career year in 2012 when he batted .325 with 16 home runs and 68 RBIs in 114 games.
Ruiz went 1-for-4 with a double in Philadelphia's win over New York on Sunday.
