Bolsinger was optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Sunday, Andy McCullough of the Los Angeles Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
After yet another rough start for the right-hander Saturday, the Dodgers have finally seen enough. Bolsinger will head to the minors for the time being, opening up a rotation spot for Carlos Frias.

Bolsinger (1-4) was nailed for five runs on nine hits over just 2.2 innings against the Brewers on Saturday. He walked two and struck out one while not factoring in the decision.
EDGE Analysis
Saturday was another lackluster outing for the 28-year-old in his third MLB season. He was lucky the Dodgers exploded for 10 runs on the night, otherwise Bolsinger would have easily lost his fourth straight game. On the bright side, the right-hander didn't allow a home run for this time all season. Bolsinger will take an unsightly 6.83 ERA and 1.52 WHIP into his next start on Friday against the Pirates.

Bolsinger will make his next start Monday in Arizona, the Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bolsinger had originally been set to take the mound Sunday against the Giants, but the team ultimately elected to start the left-handed Julio Urias against a lefty-heavy San Francisco squad. It's a bit of a tough break for fantasy owners still using Bolsinger and his 5.75 ERA, as he'll draw a tough matchup against Zach Greinke in a hitter-friendly ballpark, as well as get robbed of a two-start week.

Bolsinger (1-3) allowed six runs on seven hits and two walks with five strikeouts over 5.1 innings in a loss Monday against the Rockies.
EDGE Analysis
Bolsinger was touched up for a pair of home runs, the dagger coming from a three-run shot by Trevor Story in the sixth inning. He had already allowed three home runs in as many starts and is not going to be the answer in the rotation the Dodgers were hoping for if he can't find a way to keep the ball in the yard. He served up 11 home runs in 109.1 innings (0.9 HR/9) last year when he allowed a respectable 3.62 ERA, so if he can resolve this home run issue, there's a chance he can turn into a solid option, but Bolsinger features a fastball that hovers in the high-80s, and he has a tiny margin for error as a result.

Bolsinger (1-2) threw five innings during Wednesday's loss to Chicago, in which he allowed two runs on two hits and two walks while striking out six.
EDGE Analysis
Bolsinger's lone mistake ended in Kris Bryant's homer, and the 28-year-old righty can take some positive out of this outing despite the loss. Bolsinger lowered his ERA to 4.20, and he has struck out at least six in his last two starts.

Bolsinger gave up two runs on three hits and one walk while striking out six over 5.2 innings in a win over the Reds on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
His lone walk on the night put the go-ahead run on base in a 3-2 game, and out came manager Dave Roberts with the hook after 85 pitches. Bolsinger failed to make it out of the fifth inning against the Angels in his first start last week, allowing three runs on seven hits while striking out two batters. It looks like he may make a couple starts while the team awaits the return of Hyun-Jin Ryu (shoulder).

Bolsinger was recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Bolsinger recently had his first start of the season last Wednesday, allowing three runs on seven hits in just 4.1 innings. The Dodgers need a fifth starting pitcher while they send Ross Stripling to Triple-A Oklahoma City. Bolsinger has spent most of the 2016 season recovering from an oblique injury. Bolsinger's career ERA before his first start of the season last Wednesday was 3.62, with 30 starts. He will likely be used to provide depth as a starter due to the long 16-inning game the Dodgers played on Sunday.

Bolsinger was optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Bolsinger labored through his first start of the season Wednesday, allowing three runs on seven hits before being pulled after 4.1 innings. The Dodgers recalled Chin-hui Tsao from Oklahoma City to take Bolsinger's spot on the active roster.

Making his first start of the season, Bolsinger (0-1) lasted just 4.1 innings, allowing three runs on seven hits while walking two and striking out two in Wednesday's loss to the Angels.
EDGE Analysis
Bolsinger (oblique) was activated from the DL before the game to make the start, and was limited to 69 pitches. Entering Wednesday, the righty had made 30 career starts in the majors, including 21 last season for the Dodgers (6-6 with a 3.62 ERA). He's expected to replace Alex Wood or Ross Stripling at the back of the team's rotation, and Bolsinger may be worth a look in deep leagues as he's had success striking hitters out at multiple levels.

Bolsinger (oblique) was officially activated from the disabled list Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
As expected, Bolsinger will come off the disabled list just in time to make his first start of the season. He'll be facing an Angels lineup featuring some tough hitters like Mike Trout and Albert Pujols. To make room for him on the active roster, Charlie Culberson was optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City.
