Per Jon Weisman at ESPN Los Angeles.
No confirmation yet on the Belisario activation however.

Actually, they're calling up John Ely. Kershaw is day-to-day with a possible DL trip....
(just kidding)
What's the latest on Furcal?
I Googled his name, but didn’t find much in the way of news
Nothing.
Still day to day. The latest I saw was:
So how long until Furcal returns?
From mlb.com last night:Another Tuesday return for the Dodgers, shortstop Rafael Furcal, seemed less likely Sunday than it did the day before. After saying he expected him back Tuesday, manager Joe Torre used the word hopeful on Sunday instead.Furcal did play on August 2, so if they decided to put him on the DL retroactively, he’d first be eligible to return on 8/17 against Colorado, missing this entire road trip. (Note, even after Belisario is activated, there is an open spot on the 40-man roster for Juan Castro.)
Furcal has been out since Monday, and after an MRI came back favorably, the team felt a trip to the disabled list was unnecessary. Furcal has yet to hit and didn’t exactly seem optimistic.
"I cannot run 100 percent, I cannot swing the bat good," Furcal said. "Throwing is not bothering me much. Problem is sometimes I have a sharp pain [when leaning forward to field a ball]."
