Ferguson (6-3) earned the win over the Diamondbacks on Wednesday with a perfect inning in relief.

EDGE Analysis

The game was scoreless through six frames, but Dodgers starter Bobby Miller opened the seventh by allowing the first two batters he faced to reach base. Ferguson took over and quickly stamped out the threat, making a nifty diving catch on an attempted sacrifice bunt and doubling the runner off second. He then retired Corbin Carroll to end the inning, and Ferguson took the win as a result of Los Angeles scoring two runs in the bottom of the frame. The southpaw has been a key piece of the team's bullpen this season, collecting six wins, 14 holds and two saves while posting a 2.91 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 52:20 K:BB over 43.1 innings.

Ferguson (3-3) took the loss Sunday, allowing a run on three hits over one inning against Philadelphia. He struck out two.

EDGE Analysis

Serving as the opener Sunday, Ferguson allowed three consecutive one-out singles, putting the Dodgers in an early 1-0 hole. Following a stretch of 17 scoreless appearances, the 26-year-old southpaw has now allowed at least one run in five of his last six outings, sporting a 15.43 ERA over 4.2 innings in that span. Ferguson's ERA is up to 3.91 through 23 innings this season with a 1.48 WHIP and 27:10 K:BB.

Ferguson will serve as the Dodgers' opening pitcher for Sunday's game against the Phillies, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Manager Dave Roberts said after Saturday's 9-0 win that the Dodgers would use a left-handed opening pitcher Sunday for the second time in the series, and rather than going back to Victor Gonzalez -- who started Friday -- the skipper will instead turn to Ferguson to open the finale in Philadelphia. Ferguson hasn't recorded more than three outs in any of his 26 appearances this season and may work only an inning or two before turning the game over to the bullpen.

Ferguson (3-1) took a blown save and a loss Tuesday against the Reds, allowing three runs on one hit and three walks while getting through just a third of an inning.

EDGE Analysis

Ferguson was called upon to protect a two-run lead in the ninth after Brusdar Graterol and Evan Phillips worked the seventh and eighth innings, respectively. Ferguson quickly got himself into some major trouble, allowing a single, walking three and hitting a batter before being replaced by Shelby Miller with the game tied up. Miller tossed two pitches and the Reds walked it off with a hit from Matt McLain. Ferguson has now given up six runs over his last three innings pitched. Prior to May 27, he had given up just two runs all year over 18.1 innings. He is still the team's top left-handed pitching option but may have lost his chance at a ninth-inning role for the near future.

Ferguson earned a save against the Rays on Saturday, allowing a run on two hits and a walk while striking out one batter over two-thirds of an inning.

EDGE Analysis

Coming into the contest, Evan Phillips and Brusdar Graterol had combined to notch 10 of the Dodgers' 13 saves on the season, but manager Dave Roberts eschewed that approach and deployed Graterol in the seventh inning and Phillips in the eighth Saturday. Phillips was left in the game to retire the first batter in the ninth before Roberts turned to Ferguson to close things out. The move nearly backfired, as the southpaw allowed three of the first four batters he faced to reach base, resulting in a run. However, Ferguson was able to get Harold Ramirez to ground out to end the threat. Ferguson picked up his second save to go along with seven holds, and he's pitched very well overall, posting a 1.42 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 23:6 K:BB over 19 innings. However, Phillips and Graterol still figure to get most of the save chances for Los Angeles moving forward.

Ferguson struck out the only batter he faced to earn the save in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Padres.

EDGE Analysis

Brusdar Graterol allowed a pair of two-out singles in the ninth inning, but Ferguson was able to strike out Jake Cronenworth on five pitches to end the threat. Ferguson has two wins and a save over his last three appearances, and he stretched his scoreless streak to 11.1 innings. The southpaw has a 1.17 ERA, 0.91 WHIP and 17:3 K:BB across 15.1 innings while adding five holds and a 3-0 record this season. As long as he's pitching well, he should continue to serve in a setup role.

Ferguson was activated Friday from the paternity list.

EDGE Analysis

Ferguson is back in the Dodgers' bullpen ahead of Friday night's series opener against the Padres after spending a few days away from the club to be with his growing family.

The Dodgers placed Ferguson on the paternity list Tuesday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ferguson is expected to miss the final two games of the Dodgers' three-game set against the Brewers as he and his wife welcome their first child. He should be back before Friday's series opener versus the Padres.

Ferguson has left the Dodgers in order to be with his wife who is due to give birth to the couple's first child, Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ferguson won't be placed on the paternity leave list until Tuesday, so the Dodgers will play a man short Monday. The reliever should be back for the weekend series versus the Padres.

Ferguson earned a hold with a perfect inning against St. Louis on Friday. He struck out one batter.

EDGE Analysis

Ferguson entered in the sixth inning and needed just 11 pitches to retire the trio of batters he faced. The southpaw has picked up a hold in each of his past three appearances and now leads Los Angeles in that category this season. Ferguson has been a steady option in the club's bullpen through 11 appearances, allow just two runs and posting a 9:2 K:BB over 10.1 frames.
