Heaney (shoulder) threw 30-to-35 pitches over two innings during a bullpen session Monday, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
Heaney threw 30 pitches in a bullpen session Friday, and he had a similar pitch count while throwing off a mound. Manager Dave Roberts is optimistic the southpaw will be able to face hitters following Monday's session, but the team will wait to see how Heaney feels Tuesday before determining his next steps.

Heaney (shoulder) threw a bullpen session Monday, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Heaney has been out since mid-April due to a shoulder issue, but he's taking steps toward his return. Manager Dave Roberts indicated that the lefty needed one more bullpen session before being cleared to face hitters, so that clearance should be coming soon.

Heaney (shoulder) threw a 30-pitch bullpen session Friday, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
Heaney threw 15 pitches during a bullpen session Tuesday, and he doubled his pitch count during Friday's throwing session. The southpaw is expected to throw at least one more bullpen but will likely have a chance to face live hitters soon as long as his next throwing session goes well.

Heaney (shoulder) threw a 15-pitch bullpen session Tuesday, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Heaney began a throwing progression last weekend, and Tuesday's bullpen marked the first time he had thrown off a mound since landing on the injured list. The southpaw felt good Wednesday morning and will work on building up strength now that he's been cleared for mound work. Since Heaney has been on the injured list for nearly a month, he'll likely require a rehab assignment prior to rejoining the Dodgers.

Heaney (shoulder) will travel with the Dodgers on their upcoming road trip and may begin throwing bullpen sessions this week, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Heaney began his throwing progression last weekend, but he has been limited to playing catch thus far. However, he appears to be progressing toward throwing from a mound, which would be a significant step in his recovery from the shoulder inflammation that has shut him down for nearly a month. Heaney would likely need to go on a rehab assignment before returning to the big club, so he's unlikely to be back before June.

Heaney (shoulder) has joined the Dodgers in Chicago and will start a throwing progression this weekend, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Heaney has been shut down since April 20 due to his shoulder injury, but he'll begin his throwing progression by playing catch this weekend. While the southpaw will still have to ramp up his workload before he's in the mix to return to game action, it's encouraging that he'll be able to throw off flat ground. Tyler Anderson should remain in the starting rotation while Heaney is sidelined.

Heaney (shoulder) hasn't picked up a baseball since going on the injured list April 20, the Associated Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
Heaney was shut down with shoulder inflammation following his last start and doesn't appear close to a return. This report coincides with manager Dave Roberts' comments earlier this week that the left-hander's recovery will be a "slow process" and that the club will be taking a "pretty conservative" approach to his injury, per Jake Rill of MLB.com. Tyler Anderson should continue to fill Heaney's spot in the rotation while the latter remains out.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts indicated Monday that Heaney (shoulder) hasn't thrown since being placed on the 10-day injured list April 20, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Heaney is eligible to be activated before the end of the week, but that scenario doesn't appear likely given his lack of throwing thus far. The left-hander first experienced shoulder discomfort the day after his April 17 start, and he was placed on the IL after an attempt to play catch April 20 didn't go well, according to Jake Rill of MLB.com. Tyler Anderson has assumed Heaney's spot in the rotation for the time being and will likely continue to do so until the latter is able to return.

The Dodgers placed Heaney on the 10-day injured list Wednesday with left shoulder discomfort.
EDGE Analysis
The Dodgers haven't provided any information regarding the extent of Heaney's injury, but anything shoulder-related is obviously an unwelcome sight for a pitcher. The injury comes after Heaney had looked dominant over his first two starts with the Dodgers, turning in a 0.68 WHIP and 16:3 K:BB across 10.1 scoreless innings. Southpaw Tyler Anderson could be the Dodgers' top choice to enter the rotation when the team next requires a fifth starter to replace Heaney.

Heaney (1-0) registered the win during Sunday's 9-1 victory over Cincinnati, allowing three walks and a hit with 11 strikeouts in six scoreless innings.
EDGE Analysis
Heaney overpowered a rebuilding Reds team while putting his strikeout upside on full display, scattering four baserunners across six easy innings while staying under 90 pitches. The 30-year-old has yet to surrender an earned run through 10.1 innings while placing among the league leaders with 16 strikeouts. He's currently slated to pitch Saturday in San Diego for his next start.
