Ferguson (elbow) was cleared to begin a throwing program earlier in spring training, Eric Stephen of TrueBlueLA.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Ferguson is just under six months removed from Tommy John surgery, so he isn't expected to do anything more than long toss off flat ground for the duration of the spring. He could be cleared to face hitters by the end of the season, but the Dodgers are unlikely to activate him from the 60-day injured list at any point in 2021.

Ferguson (elbow) was placed on the 10-day injured list Wednesday, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The results of Ferguson's MRI have yet to be released, but the Dodgers evidently don't believe he'll be ready to pitch at any point in the next 10 days. He's likely thrown his last pitch of the regular season, though he could appear in one of the final two games of the campaign if he returns after the minimum 10 days. Josh Sborz was recalled to take his place in the pen.

Ferguson is starting Game 2 of Thursday's doubleheader against the Giants, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Ferguson will get the spot start in place of Walker Buehler (finger), who landed on the injured list earlier in the day. The southpaw hasn't pitched more than 1.1 innings yet this season, so he likely won't be tasked with many innings Thursday.
