Ferguson earned a hold against San Francisco on Saturday, allowing one hit and one walk while striking out one batter in one scoreless inning.
EDGE Analysis
Ferguson has yet to allow a run over 11.1 innings this season, but he found himself in danger Saturday as a result of allowing a walk and a single with two outs. However, the lefty reliever got Joey Bart to line out to center field, keeping the scoreless streak intact. The hold was his fifth of the campaign and his second since returning from the injured list July 6.

Ferguson (forearm) was activated from the 15-day injured list Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Ferguson has been sidelined the past few weeks by forearm tendinitis, and he'll rejoin the Dodgers without requiring a minor-league rehab assignment. The left-hander has made only six appearances this season and has yet to allow a run with a 5:4 K:BB across five innings.

Ferguson (forearm) is likely to be activated off the injured list in the middle of next week, Matthew Moreno of Dodger Blue reports.
EDGE Analysis
Ferguson has been on the injured list due to left forearm tendinitis since June 20. He's been able to toss live batting practice sessions during the past week and is expected to throw to teammate Mookie Betts (ribs) on Saturday, per Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic. Before landing on the injured list, Ferguson had hurled five scoreless innings over six appearances this season, picking up three holds but notching a less-than-ideal 5:4 K:BB.

Ferguson (forearm) played catch prior to Thursday's game against the Padres, J.P. Hoornstra of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Ferguson has thrown two live batting practice sessions since hitting the injured list June 20. His activity Thursday indicates he's come out of that activity with clean health, leaving him on track to potentially return during the team's weekend series against San Diego.

Ferguson (forearm) threw live batting practice Sunday, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Ferguson has spent just under a week on the injured list due to left forearm tendinitis, and it was encouraging to see him face live hitters Sunday. He'll throw another live BP on Wednesday, and manager Dave Roberts hopes the southpaw will be able to rejoin the Dodgers during their series against the Padres next weekend.

Ferguson was placed on the 15-day injured list Monday due to left forearm tendinitis.
EDGE Analysis
Even though Ferguson landed on the IL a day ago, the Dodgers didn't provide an explanation for why he was deactivated until Tuesday. While tendinitis typically isn't a serious injury, it's less than ideal that Ferguson is dealing with another arm-related issue after undergoing Tommy John surgery in September 2020. The Dodgers will likely re-evaluate him after a few days of rest before determining if he's ready to resume throwing or if he needs a longer shutdown period.

Ferguson was placed on the 15-day injured list Monday due to an undisclosed injury, retroactive to June 17, Matthew Moreno of Dodger Blue reports.
EDGE Analysis
The nature of Ferguson's injury is unclear at this time, but he'll remain out until early July at the minimum. The Dodgers have yet to make a corresponding move.

Ferguson was recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
The 25-year-old posted a 7.36 ERA and 1.97 WHIP in 7.1 innings over 10 appearances (two starts) in Oklahoma City to begin the year, but he'll join the Dodgers' bullpen after Michael Grove was sent down. Ferguson made a relief appearance for the major-league club in mid-May and struck out one in a scoreless inning. He should pitch mainly in low-leverage situations.

The Dodgers optioned Ferguson to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Tuesday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
After a lengthy recovery from September 2020 Tommy John surgery, Ferguson rejoined the Dodgers on Monday and was pressed into action out of the bullpen in the team's 5-4 win over Arizona. Despite delivering a scoreless inning en route to capturing a hold, Ferguson will head back to the minors to continue to shake off the rust. Assuming Ferguson performs effectively with Oklahoma City, he could be in line for a quick return to the big-league roster.

Ferguson pitched one scoreless inning against Arizona on Monday, allowing one walk and striking out one batter. He was credited with a hold.
EDGE Analysis
Ferguson underwent Tommy John surgery in September of 2020 and recently completed a minor-league rehab assignment. He was called up Monday and handled the seventh inning, keeping the Diamondbacks off the scoreboard while protecting a three-run lead. The left-handed hurler was a key piece of the Dodgers' bullpen in 2020, posting a 2.89 ERA and 1.02 WHIP over 18.2 innings during the abbreviated campaign. He could stick with the big club if he pitches well.
