Maeda allowed one run on six hits and three walks while striking out eight, but received no decision Sunday against the Brewers.

EDGE Analysis

After allowing a first-inning homer to Scooter Gennett, Maeda silenced the Brewers' bats, but it took a pair of late runs by the Dodgers to take him off the hook for a potential loss. He's now held opponents to two or fewer earned runs in five straight starts to lower his ERA to 2.64. He'll make his next start Saturday at the Pirates.

Maeda (leg) will make his next scheduled start on Sunday, Zach Helfand of the LA Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

There had been some uncertainty as to whether Maeda would miss time due to a leg contusion he suffered against Arizona on Tuesday but it is now confirmed that he will make his next scheduled start. The 28-year-old is continuing to look like the ace many thought he would be when he transferred to the MLB from the Japanese Baseball League as he's posted a 1.54 ERA and 1.07 WHIP over his last four starts.

Maeda (leg contusion) played catch in the outfield Thursday and hopes to start Sunday, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Maeda suffered a minor leg contusion during his start on Tuesday but has been optimistic since then that he won't miss any time. He did some light work Thursday, playing catch in the outfield, and says that he feels good enough to not require a bullpen session. It's been nearly all good news since his scruff up Tuesday and pending any surprising setbacks, the 28-year-old will be out there Sunday on his normal schedule.

Manager Dave Roberts announced that he is optimistic that Maeda (leg) will be able to make his next scheduled start, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Maeda has reportedly improved dramatically overnight and is walking without a limp in the Dodgers' clubhouse Wednesday, less than one day removed from taking a line drive off his right leg during his start against Arizona. His next scheduled start will be Sunday against Milwaukee, so he figures to continue receiving treatment over the next few days before the Dodgers make an official decision on his status over the weekend.

Maeda suffered a right lower leg contusion during Tuesday's game, as X-rays were negative, SB Nation's Eric Stephen reports.

EDGE Analysis

This doesn't necessarily mean he has dodged a significant injury, as teammate Andre Ethier's X-rays were initially negative on his right shin earlier this spring, before it was then deemed to be a fracture. Maeda needed to be helped off the field Tuesday after a 95 mph liner off the bat of Paul Goldschmidt hit him just below the right knee. The Dodgers will likely update his status several times in advance of Sunday's scheduled start against the Brewers.

Maeda left Tuesday's game against Arizona in the sixth inning after taking a line drive off his right leg, just below the knee, the Los Angeles Times' Andy McCullough reports.

EDGE Analysis

He needed a lot of help getting off the field after being struck by a 95 mph liner off the bat of Paul Goldschmidt. It may be a small consolation if this turns out to be a significant injury, but Maeda was in line for the win when he left Tuesday. He allowed three runs (two earned) on six hits and a walk while striking out six in 5.1 innings. His status will be updated when the team releases the exact nature of the injury.

Maeda (5-4) struck out a season-high nine and held the Rockies to a single run on five hits and a walk over 6.2 innings Wednesday, but was stuck with a tough-luck loss.

EDGE Analysis

May wasn't Maeda's month -- he failed to last longer than five innings in four consecutive starts to close out the month, giving up four runs in three of those -- but he's pitched into the seventh in each of his first two games of June. All in all, despite a fastball that averages less than 90 miles per hour, the 28-year-old Japanese rookie has been every bit as good as advertised -- and considering he's just learning his way around Major League Baseball, it's quite possible that we still haven't seen the best of Maeda yet.

Maeda (5-3) only allowed two runs (one earned) with six hits and two walks over 6.1 innings of work in the win against Atlanta on Friday. He struck out five.

EDGE Analysis

Maeda dazzled during April to the tune of a 1.41 ERA, but he struggled in May and he pitched to a 5.04 ERA over that month. His real level probably lies somewhere in between, and he was pretty sharp in his most recent outing. It was the second straight start in which he allows two runs or less, and it seems he's trending on the right direction once again.

Maeda (hand) will not start Thursday as scheduled, but will start Friday against the Braves instead, the Los Angeles Times' Andy McCullough reports.

EDGE Analysis

This is actually excellent news, as he would have faced the Cubs in Wrigley Field on Thursday, and instead gets to face perhaps the worst offense in baseball Friday. X-rays were negative on his hand, and he is obviously in good enough shape not to get skipped, so owners should deploy him with confidence Friday. Julio Urias will take the ball Thursday.

Maeda (hand) is considered questionable to make his scheduled start Thursday against the Cubs, Andy McCullough of the Los Angeles Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

X-rays were negative after Maeda was struck by a comebacker Saturday, and the right-hander said afterward that he planned on taking his next turn. However, he's still dealing with some residual swelling three days later, so the team isn't willing to set anything in stone just yet. Julio Urias is Thursday's probable starter for Triple-A Oklahoma City, but he couldn't be brought back yet without the team placing a player on the DL.
