09/03/2010 - Los Angeles, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Los Angeles Dodgers have activated shortstop Rafael Furcal from the 15-day disabled list.

The 32-year-old switch hitter is penciled into the leadoff spot for the Dodgers Friday night as they open a weekend series versus San Francisco.

He had been sidelined since August 2 with a strained lower back.

It was Furcal's second stint on the DL this season, as he also missed nearly a month with a strained left hamstring.

In 76 games this year, Furcal is batting .316 with 57 runs scored, eight homers, 39 runs batted in, 18 steals and a .380 on-base percentage.

The club also recalled catcher A.J. Ellis from Triple-A Albuquerque.
