Ferguson pitched in eight Cactus League contests, allowing two runs and posting a 9:3 K:B over seven innings.

EDGE Analysis

Ferguson was one of the Dodgers' best relievers last season, recording a 1.82 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 37:17 K:BB across 34.2 frames. He'll likely have a significant role in the bullpen again during the coming campaign, and he could even see a save chance or two since Los Angeles isn't committing to a closer, at least at the start of the season.

Ferguson and the Dodgers settled on a one-year, $1.1 million contract Friday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ferguson and the team will avoid dealing with the arbitration process after coming to an agreement Friday. The reliever was very effective in 2022, posting a 1.82 ERA and 1.15 WHIP with 37 strikeouts and seven holds over 34.2 innings in 37 appearances out of the Dodgers' bullpen and he'll likely operate in a significant role again in 2023.

Ferguson will start Sunday's game against the Padres as the opener, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Chances are, the lefty Ferguson will only pitch an inning or two before giving way to right-hander Ryan Pepiot. Ferguson has not worked more than 1.1 innings in any appearance this season.

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.
