Dodgers’ manager Dave Roberts told reporters on Thursday that Dalton Rushing (elbow) will be activated from the injured list on Friday.

The 25-year-old isn’t expected to catch again this season, but he will be able to function as a bench bat for the Dodgers over the final weekend of the regular season and into the playoffs. Rushing has been shelved since September 5 due to discomfort in his throwing elbow.
