Who will be dropped from the Cubs’ 40-man roster when Ben Zobrist returns?

Among the worst-kept secrets going is that Ben Zobrist will be added to the Cubs active roster on or around September 1. That addition could require two additional moves, because baseball has quite a few rules. Someone will have to be removed from the 40-man roster if this happens before September 1, since Zobrist is currently on the restricted list. Someone will also need to be deleted from the 25-man roster if Ben is activated before September 1. At the end of the month, which Cub or Cubs will be Zobristed?

One of the first similar moves I remember from the Cubs happened in 1984.
