Dodgers' Yoshinobu Yamamoto: Activated ahead of start

The Dodgers reinstated Yamamoto (triceps) from the 60-day injured list ahead of his start Tuesday versus the Cubs.

Yamamoto has been held out of action since June 15 due to a right tricep/shoulder injury. However, he's made two rehab starts with Triple-A Oklahoma City, during which he allowed three earned runs across four innings. He only threw 53 pitches during his latest minor-league outing, so there's a good chance his return to a big-league mound is relatively brief Tuesday. Nick Ramirez was designated for assignment in a corresponding move.
