Manager Dave Roberts said that Rojas (forearm) is scheduled to play in a simulated game Thursday at Dodger Stadium, MLB.com reports.

On the shelf since July 24 with right forearm tightness, Rojas has already started ramping up his swinging and is set to face live pitching during the upcoming week. Roberts said that Rojas won't require a minor-league rehab assignment before being activated from the 10-day injured list, leaving the door open for the 35-year-old to rejoin the big club as soon as this weekend. Whenever Rojas is reinstated, he'll likely displace Nick Ahmed as the team's primary shortstop.
