Stone was recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Monday, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Stone will get the call to the big-league squad to give Los Angeles a fresh arm after Clayton Kershaw (shoulder) was sent to the 15-day injured list. Stone has gotten roughed up through three starts so far this season (14.40 ERA and 3.00 WHIP with a 5:7 K:BB across 10 frames), though he's drawn tough opponents in Philadelphia, Atlanta and Tampa Bay. The right-hander is expected to be available in long relief Monday night in the event Michael Grove struggles.

Los Angeles optioned Stone to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Tuesday, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Stone got knocked around again Sunday against the Rays and has now surrendered 17 runs -- 16 earned -- through his first three major-league starts covering just 10 innings. Alex Vesia will join the Dodgers' bullpen Tuesday in a corresponding roster move, with Michael Grove (groin) lined up to fill the rotation vacancy next weekend versus the Yankees.

Stone is expected to be replaced in the Dodgers' rotation by Michael Grove (groin), Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Stone has been blasted for 17 runs (16 earned) over 10 innings covering three starts with the Dodgers, most recently getting walloped for seven runs on 10 hits while recording just six outs Sunday versus the Rays. While Stone still appears to have the much brighter future than Grove, it's not a surprise to hear that the latter will be given the next turn in the Dodgers' rotation. Stone, for what it's worth, was still in the big-league clubhouse Monday, although he'll surely be sent back to Triple-A Oklahoma City to start rather than be sent to the Dodgers' bullpen.

Stone didn't factor into the decision in Sunday's 11-10 loss to the Rays after striking out three and allowing seven runs on 10 hits over two innings.

EDGE Analysis

After another nightmarish outing for the rookie, Stone is now sitting on a 14.40 ERA, 3.00 WHIP and 5:7 K:BB through his first 10 innings in the big leagues. Even though injuries have tested the Dodgers' rotation depth early on this season, Stone may not be in store for a long-term stay with the big club in light of the poor command and control he's shown over his three starts. According to Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times, manager Dave Roberts was non-committal about Stone making his next turn through the rotation next weekend versus the Yankees. If Stone is sent back to Triple-A Oklahoma City, rehabbing right-hander Michael Grove (groin) would likely be reinstated from the 15-day injured list to replace the rookie in the rotation.

Stone is scheduled to start Sunday's game against the Rays at Tropicana Field.

EDGE Analysis

In his return to the majors Monday in Atlanta, Stone took a no-decision in the Dodgers' 8-6 win after working four innings while allowing five earned runs on five hits and five walks. Despite his poor results in his first two big-league starts, Stone will get at least one more chance to prove he belongs in the rotation while the Dodgers are short on healthy starting options. Michael Grove (groin) looked sharp in his first rehab start at Triple-A Oklahoma City last weekend, and once he's activated from the 15-day injured list, he could be an option to take Stone's spot in the rotation if the rookie's struggles continue in Tampa.

Stone yielded five runs on five hits and five walks over four-plus innings in Monday's win over Atlanta. He struck out one and did not factor in the decision.

EDGE Analysis

Atlanta jumped on Stone early, plating four runs in the first inning. He tossed a few scoreless frames before walking two batters to begin the fifth inning. Stone was charged with one more run after leaving the game. The right-handed rookie has given up nine runs with an ugly 2:7 K:BB through his first two career MLB starts. It's unclear if he'll get another turn in the rotation.

Stone was recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City by the Dodgers on Monday, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Stone will start Monday in Atlanta and will have an opportunity to prove he should stick around for a while as the Dodgers battle injuries in their rotation. The right-hander struggled in his major-league debut earlier this month and has been up-and-down at OKC, although he pitched better there lately. Stone's upside warrants him being rostered, although it would be wise to keep him on the bench for Monday's outing.

Stone will be recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City to start Monday in Atlanta, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

It won't be just a spot start for the 24-year-old, as manager Dave Roberts said the right-hander will fill the rotation spot of Dustin May (forearm) for the "foreseeable future." Stone made his big-league debut May 3 versus the Phillies and surrendered four runs on eight hits with two walks and one strikeout over four frames, but he posted a 2.45 ERA with 14 strikeouts in two starts since returning to Triple-A.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Thursday that Stone "makes the most sense" to replace Dustin May (forearm) in the starting rotation, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Michael Grove (groin) is traveling with the Dodgers, but only on the taxi squad for now, and it sounds like he'll be used in relief if -- or when -- he is activated. Stone racked up 10 strikeouts over 5.2 innings in his last start Tuesday at Triple-A Oklahoma City and can comfortably slot into May's spot Monday at Atlanta. May is out for at least a month with a flexor strain, so both Grove and Stone could ultimately get rotation turns. Bobby Miller might eventually be an option as well.

Stone was optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Stone struggled in his MLB debut against the Phillies on Wednesday while allowing five runs -- four earned -- on eight hits and two walks over four innings. He's considered one of the top pitching prospects in baseball, and while he's heading back to Oklahoma City for now, he has a good chance of making starts for the Dodgers again in the summer months.
