Locke (shoulder) was activated from the disabled list and is scheduled to start Thursday against the Diamondbacks, Clark Spencer of the Miami Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

As expected, Locke will make his season debut for the Marlins after missing the first couple months of the season with shoulder tendinitis. The 29-year-old -- who compiled a 1.77 ERA and 22:2 K:BB across 20.1 innings during his four-game rehab assignment with High-A Jupiter and Double-A Jacksonville -- will face Zack Greinke in his return to the mound. Justin Nicolino (finger) was placed on the disabled list in a corresponding move.
