Maeda (6-2) yielded three runs on five hits and struck out four over five innings Sunday in a win against the Pirates.

EDGE Analysis

Maeda gave up a two-run homer in the second inning and a solo shot in the fifth, but he'd come out of the ballgame with a one-run lead. He needed 81 pitches (57 strikes) to retire the first 15 batters of the contest. The 31-year-old was placed on the shelf May 17 due to a left adductor contusion, but he was able to return after missing just one start. The right-hander owns a 3.67 ERA with 56 punchouts over 56.1 innings following Sunday's outing.

The Dodgers activated Maeda (thigh) from the 10-day injured list ahead of his scheduled start Sunday against the Pirates, Jorge Castillo of the Los Angeles Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Maeda missed just one turn through the rotation as a result of the thigh issue, with multiple off days enabling the Dodgers to get by with four starters for the past week and a half. The right-hander isn't expected to have any specific limitations with his pitch count in his return to action, though it's possible the Dodgers are more conservative than usual with Maeda since he'll be coming off an injury.

Maeda (thigh) will come off the injured list to start Sunday's game in Pittsburgh, Pedro Moura of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

This was expected, assuming Maeda made it through Wednesday's aggressive bullpen session OK, and he did. He may not throw 100 pitches in his first start back from the injured list, but he threw 6.2 innings May 15, so there shouldn't be significant restrictions.

Maeda (thigh) is expected to throw "an aggressive bullpen" session either Tuesday or Wednesday, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

Maeda was sent to the 10-day injured list Friday due to a left adductor contusion, though he's only expected to miss one turn through the rotation. If his side session goes well, the right-hander should return from the shelf in time to make a start May 26 against Pittsburgh.

Maeda was placed on the 10-day injured list with a left adductor contusion Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Maeda suffered the injury when he fouled a pitch off his leg during an at-bat Wednesday. The injury does not appear to be serious, and he's only expected to miss one turn through the rotation. The Dodgers have off days both Monday and Thursday, so they won't be required to use a spot starter.

Maeda will head to the 10-day injured list after hitting a foul ball off his thigh during an at-bat Wednesday, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Dodgers are reportedly placing Maeda on the injured list as a precaution, so he shouldn't be forced to miss more than one turn through the rotation. Los Angeles has yet to announce who will start in the right-hander's place Wednesday against Tampa Bay.

Maeda is expected to be placed on the 10-day injured list Friday with an undisclosed injury, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Maeda hurled 6.2 scoreless innings and fanned 12 in Wednesday's outing against the Padres, but he appears to have suffered some sort of injury during the contest. The extent of the problem is unknown at this time, though he'll miss at least one start while on the shelf.

Maeda (5-2) picked up the win in Wednesday's 2-0 victory over the Padres, scattering three hits over 6.2 scoreless innings while striking out a season-high 12.

EDGE Analysis

He not only took care of business on the mound, Maeda gave himself all the run support he would need with a two-run single in the second inning. The right-hander will carry a 3.51 ERA and 52:20 K:BB through 51.1 innings into his next start Wednesday in Tampa Bay.

Maeda will have his next start moved up from Friday to Wednesday for a home outing against the Padres, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

Maeda will take the place of Rich Hill for the Dodgers' midweek contest against San Diego, with Hill now slated to start during the weekend series against the Reds. The right-hander one-hit the Nationals over six scoreless innings in his last start, so he'll look to build on that and improve on his 4.03 ERA.

Maeda (4-2) gave up just one hit and two walks while striking out six over six scoreless innings in a win over the Nationals on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

It's been a bit of a rollercoaster for Maeda lately, as he's sandwiched scoreless outings between four- and six-run hiccups. The overall numbers are fine, but Maeda's walk rate is way up and his strikeout rate is way down. Maeda's FIP through eight starts is 4.42, up from his 3.30 mark as a starting pitcher last year. Up next is a road start in Cincinnati.
