Darvish (back) will be activated from the 10-day injured list to start Thursday's series finale against the Dodgers, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Darvish has thrown three bullpen sessions within the past week with no issues, clearing the way for his return to the rotation. The 35-year-old will have spent little more than the 10-day minimum on the shelf with lower-back tightness, and manager Jayce Tingler said the right-hander "shouldn't" have any workload limitations in his return.
