Guess who's back, back again. Maybin's back; tell a friend.

Not only is Cameron Maybin all rostered up for the first time of this young season, he's getting thrust into action. As Corey Brock tweeted seconds before the disembodied voice of the team dropped the statement seen above, Cam's cumulative numbers during his rehab stint seem to fit right in with the slow start his pals he'll be joining have had, but trends point to him being back to strength.

Maybin hit .243 in 37 at-bats in rehab stint, but quality of at-bats, I am told, were better of late, hits and more hard contact. #Padres

At this point most of the fanbase is grasping at straws, so maybe Maybin is just the spark the team needs to blah, blah, blah. He's back. We'll see how it goes.
