Maeda allowed two runs on three hits and two walks while striking out five over 4.1 innings Sunday against the Rockies. He didn't factor into the decision.

EDGE Analysis

Maeda cruised through the first four innings, though he ran into trouble in the bottom of the fifth, surrendering two runs before getting yanked. The 31-year-old right-hander has given up just two runs in each of his last three starts, though he was unable to work deep into the ballgame Sunday afternoon. Maeda now owns a 3.78 ERA and 1.10 WHIP with 88 strikeouts across 88 frames.

Maeda will start Sunday against the Rockies, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Dodgers want to keep Clayton Kershaw on normal rest for his next start, so he'll get the ball Saturday while Maeda starts Sunday's series finale. Maeda will be well rested, as his last outing came Sunday. In 15 starts this season, the 31-year-old Maeda owns a 3.76 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 83:28 K:BBB in 83.2 innings.

Maeda did not factor into the decision against Colorado on Sunday, giving up two runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out six.

EDGE Analysis

Pitching on extra rest after taking a line drive to his right hand in his last start, Maeda showed no lingering ill effects, limiting the Rockies to two runs and needing only 86 pitches to get through seven innings. In 15 starts this season, the 31-year-old has posted a 3.76 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 83:28 K:BB in 83.2 innings. He'll head to Colorado to again square off against the Rockies on Friday in his next scheduled start.

Maeda (hand) is listed as the Dodgers' probable starter for Sunday's game against the Rockies.

EDGE Analysis

The report confirms that the comebacker that Maeda took to his right hand in his previous start Monday against the Giants isn't viewed as a concern. The Dodgers built in an extra day of rest for Maeda as a precaution, but unless the team suggests otherwise, the 31-year-old isn't expected to face any restrictions in his return to the mound. Maeda has posted a 4.62 ERA over his last five outings, but a 0.87 WHIP and 25:6 K:BB over 25.1 innings during that span suggest that he's pitched better than his ERA indicates.

Maeda (wrist) will get an extra day of rest before his next start, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Maeda took a comebacker off the wrist in the fourth inning of the Dodgers' loss to the Giants on Monday, and although he stayed in the game and X-rays came back negative, manager Dave Roberts said Tuesday the right-hander will get one extra day of rest to make sure he's fully recovered. This would push Maeda's next start to Sunday against the Rockies, with Julio Urias the likely candidate to make a spot start in his absence Saturday.

X-rays on Maeda's right hand returned negative after he was sent in for testing following his departure from Monday's 3-2 loss to the Giants, J.P. Hoornstra of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Though Maeda limited the opposition to two runs over five innings and struck out four, it was hardly a smooth outing for the right-hander. Maeda needed 54 pitches to cover the first two innings and absorbed a comebacker off his hand in the fourth inning, which manager Dave Roberts said caused Maeda's hand to stiffen up. Maeda wasn't forced to exit because of the issue and is expected to be fine for his next start, but it wouldn't be surprising if the Dodgers changed course and elected to give him an extra day off between turns. With Los Angeles in the midst of a stretch of 18 games in 18 days, Roberts recently suggested that bullpen arms Julio Urias or Ross Stripling could make a spot start to afford the rotation some additional rest.

Maeda (7-4) took the loss against the Giants on Monday, giving up two earned runs on three hits over five innings, striking out four and walking two in a 3-2 defeat for the Dodgers.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander bounced back with a nice start after getting tagged for five earned in 4.2 innings by the Angels in his last outing, but the Dodgers offense struggled to solve Tyler Beede and Maeda would ultimately take his fourth loss of the season. He had a 5.20 ERA following a six-run blowup against the Cubs on April 23, but Maeda has turned it around since then and now sports a 3.87 ERA, a 1.08 WHIP and a 77:26 K:BB through 76.2 innings.

Maeda (7-3) took the loss against the Angels on Tuesday, pitching 4.1 innings and giving up five runs on three hits and three walks while striking out four.

EDGE Analysis

All of the damage against Maeda came with two outs in the first inning, when the Angels connected for a pair of home runs sandwiched around a hit batsman, a walk and a single. Though Maeda would not allow another hit for the remainder of his outing, the Dodgers were unable to muster enough offense to get him off the hook. The loss put an end to the 31-year-old's four-decision win streak, though he still holds a solid 7-3 record and respectable 3.89 ERA on the season. Maeda will face the Giants on Monday in his next scheduled start.

Maeda allowed one run on two hits with seven strikeouts and one walk across five innings during a no-decision against the Diamondbacks on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander was pretty exceptional, as he permitted only three hitters to reach base. He also only needed 70 pitches to get through five frames, but manager Dave Roberts still elected to go to his bullpen in the sixth. This broke Maeda's string of four consecutive starts where he earned a victory. Still, he's 7-2 with a 3.48 ERA, 1.07 WHIP, 2.09 batting average against and 69 strikeouts in 67.1 innings. Maeda will make his next start Tuesday at the Angels.

Maeda (7-2) pitched six innings, allowing two runs on three hits and striking out six to earn the win in Friday's 6-3 win over the Phillies.

EDGE Analysis

Maeda won his fourth straight start with another strong outing, as he's now allowed only five runs over his last 23.2 innings while striking out 28 in that span. For the year, Maeda has a 3.61 ERA and 1.11 WHIP over 62.1 innings. He'll look to keep the win streak rolling versus the Diamondbacks on Wednesday.
