OAKLAND, Calif. -- Oakland Athletics infielder/outfielder Ben Zobrist made his return from knee surgery in a 1-0 loss to the Detroit Tigers on Tuesday night. Zobrist played for the first time since April 24, a day after coming off the disabled list from left knee surgery. He hurt his knee sliding into second base in mid-April against Kansas City, sat for three games and tried to DH through the pain but decided arthroscopic surgery to trim the meniscus was his best option. Zobrist had a one-out double in the fifth. The A's got more good news Tuesday, as lefty Sean Doolittle was activated from the 15-day disabled list after being sidelined with a shoulder injury. He will not move back into the closer role right away. "He is a difference-maker," manager Bob Melvin said. The Associated Press contributed to this report.
