DeSclafani (ankle) played catch Tuesday and could be activated to start during the upcoming weekend series in Atlanta, John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
The right-hander exited his start last Wednesday against the Mets with right ankle discomfort, and he later landed on the injured list despite his MRI revealing no structural damage. The club has maintained that he'll be able to make his next start, so all signs point toward him taking the ball when he becomes eligible to come off the IL on Sunday in Atlanta.
