Dodgers manager Dave Roberts told reporters that he's "hopeful" Syndergaard (finger) will be able to make his start Monday,Matthew Moreno of DodgerBlue.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Syndergaard was able to throw again Friday with his right index finger covered after developing a cut on the digit Tuesday, but the real test for the right-hander will come during Saturday's bullpen session. If he has no issues Saturday, he likely will be on the mound Monday against the Twins, but fantasy GMs should wait for the team to make it official before plugging Syndergaard back into their active rosters.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said that a decision on whether Syndergaard (finger) will be placed on the injured list won't come before Friday, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

Syndergaard was removed after one inning in Tuesday's win over the Brewers after he developed a cut on his right index finger. He was able to play catch Wednesday by covering the finger and also using a topical skin adhesive. Neither of those things would be allowed while Syndergaard pitches, however, so he'll have to show during a between-starts bullpen session this weekend that his finger is feeling well enough to keep him off the IL.

Syndergaard (finger) was able to play catch in the outfield Wednesday, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

Syndergaard lasted just one inning in his start in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Brewers before departing with a bleeding blister/cut on his right index finger, but the fact that he's throwing a day after suffering the injury bodes well for his chances of avoiding a stint on the injured list. The Dodgers will presumably wait and see how Syndergaard fares during a potential bullpen session over the weekend before determining whether he's fit to make his next scheduled start, which would fall Monday or Tuesday versus the Twins.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts told reporters after Tuesday's game against the Brewers that the team will see how Syndergaard's right index finger responds over the next few days, Matthew Moreno of DodgersBlues.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Syndergaard left Tuesday's start in the second inning after experience a cut on his right index finger. The right-hander is now in danger of missing his next scheduled start early next week, but his status likely won't be determined until the weekend at the earliest.

Syndergaard left Tuesday's start against the Brewers with a cut on his right index finger, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports. Syndergaard allowed no runs with one hit and one walk with no strikeouts over one inning before exiting.

EDGE Analysis

Syndergaard tried to continue after picking up the cut on his finger, but the Dodgers pulled the right-hander in favor of Phil Bickford. For now, Syndergaard should be considered day-to-day, but he's in danger of missing his next scheduled start early next week against the Twins.

Syndergaard is slated to start Tuesday's game against the Brewers at American Family Field, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Syndergaard found himself as the odd man out of Los Angeles' rotation this past week following the promotion of right-hander Gavin Stone from Triple-A Oklahoma City, but Stone was sent back to the minors after getting tagged for five runs (four earned) in four innings in his MLB debut Wednesday. Though he'll step back in as the Dodgers' No. 5 starter this week, Syndergaard likely doesn't have significant job security after posting a 6.32 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 12.3 K-BB% through his first six starts. All of those metrics are the worst or second-worst marks of his career.

Syndergaard isn't scheduled to make a start this week, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

An off day Thursday allows the Dodgers to realign their rotation, which they'll do by setting up Clayton Kershaw, Dustin May and Julio Urias to make starts this weekend in a big divisional series with San Diego. Manager Dave Roberts didn't specify whether Syndergaard will be available out of the bullpen this weekend, as the right-hander is expected to use some of his time out of the rotation to address some mechanical issues. Syndergaard owns a 6.32 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 21:4 K:BB over 31.1 innings this season, but he managed to pick up his first win his last time out Sunday against the Cardinals.

Syndergaard (1-3) allowed three runs on eight hits over 5.1 innings and earned a win over the Cardinals on Sunday. He did not issue a walk or record a strikeout.

EDGE Analysis

It was an odd start for Syndergaard who has now recorded two or fewer strikeouts in four of his first six outings. He's also issued just four total walks through 31.1 frames, including four starts without walking anyone. Syndergaard allowed two runs in the second inning followed by another in the fifth but the Dodgers gave him enough run support for the win. His velocity was down -- he averaged 91.4 mph on the fastball compared to his season average of 92.5 mph -- and he forced just three whiffs. Syndergaard's next start is projected to be in San Diego next week.

Syndergaard didn't factor into the decision in Tuesday's 8-7 win over the Pirates, coughing up seven runs on nine hits over four innings. He struck out two without walking a batter.

EDGE Analysis

It was the worst performance of the season for the veteran right-hander, who managed to generate only seven swinging strikes in 80 pitches, but a late comeback by the Dodgers got Syndergaard off the hook for a potential fourth straight loss. He's now served up five homers in 26 innings, fueling a 6.58 ERA, and his 21:4 K:BB and career-low 92.2 mph average fastball are reminders that his pre-injury form almost certainly isn't coming back. Syndergaard will look to get back on track in his next start, likely to come at home this weekend against the Cardinals.

Syndergaard (0-3) took the loss Wednesday against the Mets, allowing two runs on five hits with two walks over six innings. He struck out two.

EDGE Analysis

Syndergaard could not secure his first win of the season in the matchup against his former club. The 30-year-old pitched well, silencing the Mets' offense through the first four innings before giving up his only runs of the game on a Brandon Nimmo two-run shot in the fifth. With an 0-3 record, Syndergaard will look to earn his elusive first win in his next start, tentatively scheduled for next week's series against Pittsburgh.
