Maeda (hip) will start Wednesday against the Rangers if his Sunday bullpen session goes well, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Maeda is scheduled to throw a bullpen session Sunday which will determine his availability for Wednesday's contest. The starter last pitched on May 29 and currently owns a 3.61 ERA over 52.1 innings this season. An update on his status should become available following his throwing session.

Maeda (hip) could return from the disabled list following Sunday's bullpen session, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Maeda had a successful bullpen session Friday and another successful outing Sunday could put him on track to start against the Rangers on Tuesday. The 30-year-old hit the disabled list May 30 with a right hip strain and is poised to miss little more than the 10-day minimum.

Maeda (hip) is aiming to return from the disabled list sometime next week, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Maeda was initially hoping for a weekend activation, but the Dodgers don't believe he's ready just yet, as he wasn't listed among the probable starters against Atlanta. He was able to throw a solid bullpen session Friday, and if all goes well, he figures to be activated within the next week.

Maeda (hip) isn't listed among the Dodgers' probable starting pitchers for the team's weekend series against the Braves, Eric Stephen of TrueBlueLA.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The right hip strain that landed Maeda on the 10-day disabled list last week isn't viewed as a significant, but the right-hander won't be activated over the weekend when first eligible. There's no indication that Maeda suffered a setback in his recovery over the last couple of days and it's not expected that he'll require a rehab assignment, so a return during the upcoming week could be in the offing. The Dodgers should provide more clarity regarding their rotation plans following their series finale with Atlanta on Sunday.

Maeda (hip) figures to be the first of the Dodgers' five starters on the disabled list to return to the big-league rotation, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
He will reportedly not need a rehab assignment before rejoining the team, which theoretically could be as early as next week. Rich Hill (blister) is expected to be the second pitcher to return while Clayton Kershaw (back), Hyun-Jin Ryu (groin) and Julio Urias (shoulder) won't return until July at the earliest.

Maeda (hip) was placed on the 10-day disabled list Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Maeda was removed from his start against the Phillies on Tuesday after just two innings with a right hip strain, and a subsequent MRI confirmed the issue to be serious enough to warrant a trip to the disabled list. According to Ken Gurnick of MLB.com, manager Dave Roberts said the hope is that Maeda will only be forced to miss one start while on the shelf, though he won't be rushed back. Dennis Santana was recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City in a corresponding roster move and is an option to start in Maeda's place over the weekend.

Maeda (hip) is scheduled to undergo an MRI on Wednesday, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
After receiving visits on the mound from team trainers on two occasions Tuesday, Maeda was pulled in the second inning of his start against the Phillies due to a right hip strain. Following the contest, manager Dave Roberts called Maeda's injury "a potential DL situation," but the Dodgers will wait for the results of the MRI before deciding Maeda's fate. If Maeda is unable to make his next scheduled turn Sunday against the Rockies, the Dodgers could turn to Brock Stewart or newly-recalled prospect Dennis Santana for a spot start.

Maeda exited Tuesday's game against the Phillies with a right hip strain, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Maeda was visited by the athletic trainer twice in the second inning and lasted only 1.2 innings Tuesday, allowing two runs on three hits and a walk. The severity of the injury remains unclear, and the 30-year-old should be considered day-to-day for now.

Maeda (4-3) fired 6.2 scoreless innings Wednesday, allowing two hits while walking four and striking out a season-high 12 while picking up the win over the Rockies.
EDGE Analysis
Maeda was in fine form Wednesday, inducing 19 swinging strikes and not allowing a hit until the fifth inning. This comes on the heels of his dominant eight-inning shutout performance against the Marlins on May 17. The 30-year-old lowered his ERA to 3.38 through 10 starts, but more notably, the righty is striking out a career-best 11.7 batters per nine innings. Maeda will look to build on his current hot streak in his next turn against the Phillies next Monday.
