The Dodgers plan to activate Brett Anderson, Rich Hill and Bud Norris within the coming week, meaning a team that has struggled to fill out a rotation for much of the season might suddenly find itself with too many starting pitchers.
Anderson, out all season after back surgery, is scheduled to make his season debut Sunday. Hill, on the disabled list because of blisters on the middle finger of his pitching hand, is slated for a rehabilitation start Monday for triple-A Oklahoma City and is expected to start for the Dodgers Aug. 20 in Cincinnati.
Norris, on the disabled list because of a back strain, is scheduled to make a minor league rehabilitation start Saturday for Class A Rancho Cucamonga and then rejoin the Dodgers.
