Manager Chris Woodward said Dunning (ankle) is expected to be activated from the 10-day injured list to start Friday against the Athletics, Chris Halicke of SI.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dunning landed on the shelf following his last start Aug. 2, and he's set to rejoin the rotation after being sidelined for the 10-day minimum. Assuming he's cleared to pitch Friday, the right-hander shouldn't face any significant workload limitations in his return to the mound.
