Darvish (back) was officially activated from the injured list before his start Thursday against the Dodgers .

EDGE Analysis

Darvish was previously named the starter for Thursday's contest, and he's now officially back on the big-league rotser. He struggled for a six-outing span prior to hitting the injured list with lower-back tightness Aug. 15, posting a 7.36 ERA and 1.30 WHIP across 29.1 innings. Presumably healthier after the brief absence, Darvish will now attempt to rebound from the rough stretch.
