Daniel Corcino has been optioned to Triple-A to make room for Maeda on the active roster. Maeda has been out since late May, but will be on the mound against the Rangers on Wednesday.

The Los Angeles Dodgers currently have a full pitching rotation on the disabled list, but Kenta Maeda will return from the 10-day disabled list on Wednesday due to a right hip strain. In 11 games this season, Maeda is 4-4 with a 3.61 ERA. Feel confident in starting the Dodgers starting pitcher on Wednesday against the Rangers, although he's a little more risky than normal, as he might be limited a bit from a pitch-count perspective.

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Kenta Maeda (hip) threw an "aggressive" bullpen session on Friday afternoon, according to Alanna Rizzo of SportsNet LA. He was completely pain-free and had strong command of all his pitches. Right now, the plan is for him to throw a lighter bullpen session on Sunday and re-evaluate from there. If all goes well, Maeda could be activated off the disabled list in the middle of next week. He hasn't pitched since May 29, when he was pulled after just 1 2/3 innings when his hip starting bothering him. He has a 3.61 ERA and a 11.69 K/9 ratio over 52 1/3 innings so far this season.

Maeda (hip) is aiming to return from the disabled list sometime next week, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.

According to Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts, starting pitcher Kenta Maeda (hip) is progressing well through the injury that recently sent him to the disabled list. He has been throwing off a mound, and Roberts said that it was "possible" Maeda would return by next Tuesday or Wednesday. He then added that it's also "not likely." The best bet, assuming no further setbacks, is that Maeda could be activated late next week. It will be a welcome return for fantasy owners, as the righty has been very good this year, especially when it comes to strikeout numbers.

Los Angeles Dodgers starter Kenta Maeda has been placed on the 10-day disabled list with a hip/groin strain that manager Dave Roberts called "benign." Roberts does not know how long Maeda will be out yet. The 30-year-old is enjoying a solid season with a 3.61 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 68 strikeouts in 52 1/3 innings this season. The expectation is that only one start will be missed, but Maeda will not be rushed back. Keep him stashed everywhere. There is no official word on who will start in Maeda's place, but pitching prospect Dennis Santana, who was recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City in a corresponding move, is the most likely option. He's pitched well at OKC and Double-A Tulsa this year and could make a start this Saturday at Colorado if he's not used in relief before then. That wouldn't be the most enticing from a streamer perspective, but Santana could have short-term value in deeper leagues if he makes a few starts, depending on the matchups.

One day after leaving the game in the second inning, it appears Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Kenta Maeda's (hip) early exit was more than just a precaution. The 27-year-old pitcher is headed for an MRI on his sore hip on Thursday, and Dodgers manager Dave Roberts admitted to the media that it's a "potential DL situation." The Dodgers are reportedly calling up pitching prospect Dennis Santana, their No. 9 prospect, who was probably slated for long relief but could possibly end up starting if Maeda ends up having a serious injury.

Los Angeles Dodgers starter Kenta Maeda was pulled from Tuesday night's game against the Phillies in just the second inning after he had only pitched 1 2/3 innings through 38 pitches. Even those watching the game didn't seem to know what was immediately wrong, so we'll have to wait for an official update. He was shown waving the trainers off, but manager Dave Roberts apparently overruled the Japanese starter and pulled him anyway. The 27-year-old has been above-average so far, posting a 3.38 ERA and a 1.204 WHIP. His strikeout numbers are what really shine at 66 K's through just 50 2/3 innings pitched, good for an 11.7 K/9.

Los Angeles Dodgers starter Kenta Maeda shut out the Rockies on Wednesday over 6 2/3 innings. He allowed only two hits all night, struck out 12 and walked four. It was the second shutout in a row for him since changing his delivery and could portend a possible breakout. See if his owner isn't so confident in his newfound success and grab him while you can. He'll be good in leagues that count both wins and quality starts.

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.

Los Angeles Dodgers starter Kenta Maeda credits a mechanical adjustment for his complete dominance of the Miami Marlins on Thursday. By slowing down his delivery, Maeda produced his strongest start of the season, allowing just two hits in eight innings with eight strikeouts and no walks. His slider was definitely working and only Derek Dietrich's double went for extra bases all day. This was only the third time this season that a Dodgers starter went for eight innings and it was a nice to see Maeda bounce back after getting tagged for five runs by Cincinnati in just 4 2/3 innings last week. He'll next face the Rockies at home on Tuesday.

Maeda (3-3) picked up the win Thursday against the Marlins, allowing just two hits across eight scoreless innings while striking out eight and walking none.

Los Angeles Dodgers starter Kenta Maeda floundered against the Giants on Sunday, earning his second loss of the season. He got into trouble right away in the first with a two-out double to Buster Posey, a walk to Brandon Belt and a home run to Evan Longoria. In the bottom of the third, he gave up a walk to Posey (again with two outs) who scored on a Brandon Belt double. All in all, he walked four batters and only struck out three. Maeda's been up and down in his starts, but won't be sent to the bullpen, according to GM Farhan Zaidi. He's an iffy play moving forward and should only be deployed against the weakest of offenses. He's lined up to open the series against the Padres in Monterrey, Mexico on Friday.

Maeda (2-2) allowed four runs on five hits and four walks across six innings while taking the loss Sunday against the Giants. He struck out three.

Maeda struck out seven and walked one in a no-decision against the Marlins on Tuesday, allowing one run on four hits through six innings.

Los Angeles Dodgers starter Kenta Maeda delivered his third solid outing of the year on Tuesday against the Marlins but got a no-decision when the Dodgers failed to give him any kind of run support. Maeda pitched six innings of one-run ball, giving up four hits, striking out seven and walking only one. One of those hits was a home run by J.T. Realmuto, which was the only earned run on the night. It was the second quality start in a row for Maeda, though this one went for naught. He's been making a solid case for himself to remain in the rotation. Look for him to continue rolling when he faces the Giants on Sunday.

Maeda (2-1) allowed four runs on eight hits and two walks and struck out 10 through 5.2 innings to pick up the win Wednesday over the Padres.

Los Angeles Dodgers starter Kenta Maeda did not have his best stuff on Friday, most likely because of his long lay-off between starts. It was a disappointing encore to his first start that saw him strike out ten batters. In 2 2/3 innings against the Diamondbacks on Friday, he gave up five runs (two earned), struck out two and walked two. While the extra three runs weren't earned, two of them came from Maeda's errant throws (one to first base and one wild pitch). The third was a passed ball by Yasmani Grandal. Due to scheduling, Maeda hadn't started since March 31st. He did come out in relief last Saturday, pitching, one inning, but the rust was noticeable. He's still an intriguing SP4 option, so look for the Dodgers to keep him on-track for the foreseeable future. His value dips if he's a reliever, although players in leagues that count holds or ratios would gladly take him.

Maeda (1-1) took the loss Friday against the Diamondbacks, giving up five runs (two earned) on five hits and two walks over 2.2 innings while striking out two.
