Heaney (arm) is listed as the Dodgers' scheduled starter for Thursday's series finale in Milwaukee.

EDGE Analysis

As anticipated, Heaney won't be forced to miss a turn through the rotation after he exited his most recent start Saturday against the Rockies when he took a line drive off his left arm. He escaped with nothing more than a bruise to his pitching arm, and he's apparently been able to resume throwing without any discomfort. Though injuries have limited Heaney to just seven starts this season, he's been dominant when available, as he's produced a 1.16 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 42:10 K:BB across 31 innings.

Heaney is expected to make his next start after exiting Saturday's game against the Royals with a bruise on his left arm, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Heaney exited Saturday's start after three innings due to taking a liner off his arm. However, he appears to have avoided a serious injury and remains in line to make his next start -- currently projected to come next week at Milwaukee. Heaney allowed two runs on three hits and struck out five without walking a batter before his early exit.

Heaney exited Saturday's start against the Royals after three innings due to a left arm contusion, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Heaney took a liner off his arm, which cut his outing short. He allowed two earned runs on three hits and struck out five. Though he wasn't overly effective prior to his exit, Heaney was in line for a comfortable win as the Dodgers were up 10-2. Positively, it doesn't appear that there is structural damage to Heaney's arm, so it's likely he'll avoid a lengthy absence.

Heaney didn't factor into the decision during Saturday's 8-3 win against the Padres, allowing three unearned runs on four hits and one walk with three strikeouts in 4.2 innings.

EDGE Analysis

Making his third start since returning from a shoulder injury, Heaney permitted a single baserunner through three frames before surrendering three unearned runs on three hits in the fourth following a Gavin Lux error. Heaney has allowed only a single earned run in 12.2 innings since his return, but hasn't received a win as Los Angeles has eased him back into the rotation with no more than 81 pitches and 4.2 innings in any outing. The 31-year-old has allowed seven runs (two earned) in 28 innings across six starts this season, and he lines up to pitch again next weekend in Kansas City.

Heaney allowed a run on four hits, two walks and a hit batsman while striking out seven in four innings in a no-decision versus the Giants on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Heaney had a sloppy first inning, walking in a run before settling down for the rest of his short start. He exited after 74 pitches (55 strikes), making little progress in stretching out after a 71-pitch outing last Wednesday. The southpaw has recorded at least seven strikeouts in three of his five starts this year, and he's yet to allow more than one earned run. For the season, he has a 0.77 ERA, 0.99 WHIP and 34:9 K:BB through 23.1 innings. Heaney is projected for a tough home start versus the Padres this weekend.

Heaney gave up one hit and three walks over four scoreless innings in a 7-1 win over the Nationals on Wednesday. He struck out four and did not factor into the decision.

EDGE Analysis

Heaney looked good in his return from a shoulder injury that had landed him on the 15-day injured list. He held the Nationals scoreless over four innings on 71 pitches and allowed only four baserunners. The 31-year-old left hander now boasts a sparkling 0.47 ERA over four starts and 10 innings pitched in 2022. The main question going forward for the injury-plagued starter will be whether or not he can stay healthy under an increased workload and maintain his spot in the Dodgers' five-man rotation. He is tentatively expected to make his next start at San Francisco next week.

The Dodgers reinstated Heaney (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list ahead of his scheduled start Wednesday against the Nationals.

EDGE Analysis

Heaney will get a soft landing spot in his return from the IL, taking on a 34-65 Nationals squad in the friendly confines of Dodger Stadium. The southpaw is coming off his second IL stint of the season on account of a left shoulder issue, and he could be limited to around 75 pitches Wednesday after building up to five innings in his most recent rehab start July 21 in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League. According to Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic, manager Dave Roberts said Tuesday that the Dodgers will go with a five-man rotation following Heaney's return from the IL, so Mitch White was moved to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Wednesday after he had previously been serving as Los Angeles' No. 5 starter.

Manager Dave Roberts said Heaney (shoulder) is expected to be activated from the 15-day injured list to start Wednesday against the Nationals, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 31-year-old has made only one start in the majors since mid-June, but he's poised to rejoin Los Angeles' rotation this weekend versus Washington. Heaney covered five innings during his final rehab start last Thursday, and Roberts previously indicated the left-hander could be limited to about 75 pitches per start, according to Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times.

Heaney (shoulder) will rejoin the rotation after throwing five innings in a rehab start in the Arizona Complex League on Thursday, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Heaney threw 2.2 innings with Single-A Rancho Cucamonga on Saturday and is set for one additional appearance. Assuming no setbacks, he could return as soon as Tuesday against the Nationals.

Heaney (shoulder) tossed 2.2 innings in a rehab appearance with Single-A Rancho Cucamonga on Saturday, allowing four runs on six hits and no walks while striking out two batters.

EDGE Analysis

Heaney logged his first game action since June 19 and looked rusty in the minor-league start. He served up a pair of home runs in 2.2 frames after allowing just one long ball across 15.1 innings with the Dodgers this season. The left-hander is working his way back from a shoulder issue and is expected to make at least one more rehab start, per Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times.
