Beckham (hamstring) was activated from the DL and will start at shortstop Thursday against the Cubs, Kevin McAlpin of BravesRadioNet reports.
Beckham is making his first major league start since June 1 after being sidelined with a hamstring strain. The third baseman played in six rehab games between rookie ball and High-A recently, collecting seven hits over 18 at-bats along with three runs and three RBI. He'll likely enter into a platoon role with Adonis Garcia at third base but could also see some starts at shortstop going forward. To make room on the roster, Emilio Bonifacio was DFA'd.
