• Dodgers' Andrew Heaney: Not throwing yet

  4D ago •

  Heaney (shoulder) has yet to resume a throwing program as of Monday, Juan Toribio and Manny Randhawa of MLB.com report. When Heaney was placed on the 15-day injured list Friday with left shoulder inflammation, manager Dave Roberts expressed hope that the southpaw would miss only two turns through the rotation. The fact that Heaney isn't yet throwing doesn't mean he'll be in line for an extended stay on the IL, but it does lessen his chances of returning in the minimum 15 days. Until Heaney is activated from the IL, Mitch White should have a spot in Los Angeles' rotation.

• Dodgers' Andrew Heaney: Hopeful for brief absence

  8D ago •

  Manager Dave Roberts said Friday that he's hopeful Heaney (shoulder) will be cleared to return after missing just a few starts, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports. Heaney landed on the 15-day injured list with left shoulder inflammation Friday, but the Dodgers are optimistic that his current absence will be shorter than his two-month IL stint from earlier in the season. The southpaw will be shut down for a few days, but early reports regarding his injury are encouraging.

• Dodgers' Andrew Heaney: Back on injured list

  9D ago •

  Heaney was placed on the 15-day injured list with left shoulder inflammation Friday. Heaney was scheduled to start Saturday's game against Atlanta but is still dealing with a left shoulder injury that will force him back to the injured list. He missed two months during his first IL stint of the season, but it's not yet clear how long he'll be sidelined during his current absence. The Dodgers haven't announced who will take Heaney's place in the rotation, but Mitch White is a potential option since he last pitched at Triple-A Oklahoma City last Saturday.

• Dodgers' Andrew Heaney: Solid in return

  13D ago •

  Heaney (shoulder) allowed two runs (one earned) on five hits and a walk with seven strikeouts in five-plus innings, taking a no-decision versus the Guardians on Sunday. Heaney threw 77 pitches (51 strikes) in his first major-league game since April 17. He limited the damage to an Austin Hedges sacrifice fly after an error in the second inning and an Oscar Gonzalez solo home run in the sixth. It's encouraging to see Heaney find some success quickly in his return -- he's posted a 0.59 ERA, 0.85 WHIP and 23:4 K:BB across 15.1 innings in three starts this year. He'll be tasked with providing quality performances in the absence of Walker Buehler (elbow). Heaney is projected for a road start in Atlanta next weekend.

• Dodgers' Andrew Heaney: Comes off IL

  14D ago •

  The Dodgers reinstated Heaney (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list ahead of his scheduled start Sunday against the Guardians. Heaney's return to the rotation following a two-month absence due to a left shoulder injury comes at a convenient time after ace Walker Buehler (elbow) was placed on the IL a week ago with a flexor strain, which could keep him on the shelf until September. With Buehler on the shelf, Heaney looks like he'll have a long leash to shake off any potential rest he may have coming off the shoulder injury. The veteran southpaw was dominant is his first two starts of the season before landing on the shelf and excelled in his third and final rehab outing at Double-A Tulsa on Tuesday, striking out nine over five scoreless frames.
