Transaction

Activated pitcher R.A. DICKEY from the Disabled List. Placed outfielder CHAD ALLEN on the 40-man roster and recalled him from AAA. Designated outfielder JASON CONTI and infielder MANNY ALEXANDER for assignment.

Dickey returns to a long relief role, but he stands to rejoin the rotation should Wasdin or Benoit falter. Allen makes his third trip to Texas. Alexander was brought up to give a day of rest to Michael Young and Alfonso Soriano; having done so, he no longer serves a purpose.
