Ferguson has been confirmed as the starter for the Dodgers' game Wednesday against the Pirates.
EDGE Analysis
Ferguson has split time between Double-A Tulsa and Triple-A Oklahoma City this season, accruing a 1.53 ERA and 52:17 K:BB in 47 innings. The Dodgers will presumably wait and see how Ferguson performs Wednesday before deciding whether or not to keep him with the big club a little longer, but the looming return of Kenta Maeda (hip) to the rotation makes it likely that the 21-year-old will just be up with the team for one start.

Ferguson had his contract purchased from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Monday, J.P. Hoornstra of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 21-year-old prospect owns an impressive 1.23 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 50:13 K:BB across nine starts (44 innings) between Double-A Tulsa and Triple-A Oklahoma City. While nothing has been confirmed at this point, but Rob Cervenka of ThinkBlueLA.com reports that Ferguson could step in to the Dodgers' rotation to make a spot start Wednesday against the Pirates. Either way, the Dodgers will need to make a pair of corresponding roster moves prior to Tuesday's series opener in order to clear room on their active and 40-man roster for Ferguson.
