Ferguson suffered a left elbow injury during Tuesday's win over the Padres, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 24-year-old already underwent X-rays and a ultrasound with inconclusive results, and he scheduled to undergo an MRI on Wednesday. Ferguson should be considered day-to-day until more is known on the injury.

Ferguson (2-1) gave up two runs on three hits and a walk and struck out two in one inning, taking the loss Sunday versus the Rockies.

EDGE Analysis

Ferguson allowed a two-run homer to Matt Kemp in the eighth inning, and the Dodgers were unable to cover that damage. The 24-year-old Ferguson was also charged with a blown save, his second of the year. He's amassed four holds with a 3.31 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 23:3 K:BB across 16.1 innings.

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.

Ferguson (1-0) pitched 1.1 innings, allowing a walk and striking out two to earn the win versus the Mariners on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Offense took center stage in Monday's game, but Ferguson had a clean outing. The Dodgers' five-run rally in the seventh inning made him the pitcher of record for his first win of the season. Ferguson has been strong in a middle-relief role with a 0.96 ERA, 0.75 WHIP, 13:2 K:BB and three holds through 9.1 innings across 10 appearances.

Ferguson will likely be a part of the Dodgers' pitching staff in 2020, but his role remains unsettled, Cary Osborne of Dodger Insider reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ferguson is viewed by manager Dave Roberts as a reliever, but his versatility lends to a lack of clarity about his eventual big-league role. The 23-year-old was primarily a starter in the minors from 2016-17 and has aspirations to become a starter at the big-league level in the long term. However, he has come out of the bullpen in all but five of his 75 career appearances in the majors, and the Dodgers already have their starting rotation in place for the upcoming season. Of course, there are a lot of unknowns about what the 2020 campaign may look like -- including the possibility of expanded rosters and fewer off days -- so Ferguson's ability to pitch in short or long stints could prove to be extremely valuable.

Ferguson has been developing a third pitch to add to his arsenal, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

"It's a slider, but I call it a cutter," Ferguson explained when describing the pitch. "I just call it a cutter so I can keep the same intent to remember to throw it as hard as I can." The 23-year-old has pitched well thus far this spring, hurling 4.1 scoreless innings without allowing a baserunner and picking up three strikeouts. He is in contention for a bullpen spot on the Dodgers' Opening Day roster, but his long-term goal is to develop into a starter, per Harris. The addition of a slider could go a long way toward helping him achieve that goal.

Ferguson will start Tuesday's game against the Rays, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ross Stripling was announced as Tuesday's starter late last week, but the Dodgers have since changed their plans. Considering Ferguson hasn't tossed more than 2.2 innings in an appearance this season, he figures to only pitch one or two frames before handing things off to the bullpen.

Ferguson was recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Ferguson was sent down to the minors Thursday, but after Alex Verdugo (oblique) landed on the injured list, he was eligible to return to the big-league club. He's had a rough go of it with the Dodgers this season, accruing a 5.88 ERA and 1.81 WHIP with 32 strikeouts over 26 innings.

Ferguson was optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Ferguson will swap places on the roster with Adam Kolarek, who was acquired from the Rays via trade Wednesday. In 27 appearances with the Dodgers this season, the left-handed Ferguson owns a 5.88 ERA, 1.81 WHIP and 32:17 K:BB in 26 innings.

The Dodgers officially recalled Ferguson from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Ferguson arrived in Philadelphia as a member of the taxi squad ahead of Thursday's series finale with the Phi;lies, but the Dodgers didn't decide until shortly before first pitch to formally activate him. He'll assume the active roster spot of Casey Sadler, who was optioned to Triple-A in a corresponding move. Ferguson may only stick around with the Dodgers until the team's other relievers are sufficiently rested.
