Los Angeles Dodgers left-hander Andrew Heaney (shoulder) struggled in his first rehab outing with Single-A Rancho Cucamonga last Saturday. He gave up six hits and four earned runs over 2 2/3 innings while recording two strikeouts. He was tagged for two homers in the outing. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts stated after the outing that Heaney would likely have another rehab start before returning to the team. Mitch White, who is starting Thursday's game against the San Francisco Giants, will be bumped from the rotation once Heaney is back. The 31-year-old has been plagued by shoulder issues this year, limiting him to just three starts with the Dodgers. Over those three starts, he's posted a 0.59 ERA and a 0.85 WHIP.

Los Angeles Dodgers left-hander Andrew Heaney (shoulder) went through a bullpen session on Tuesday. This was the first time he'd thrown off a mound since landing on the injured list a few weeks back. Heaney has been dealing with left shoulder inflammation since mid-April. After being on the injured list for two months, he briefly returned to the team in mid-May, but only made one start before landing back on the injured list. Heaney has looked great in the three starts we've seen him make this year. He's gone 1-0 with a 0.59 ERA and a 0.85 WHIP over 15.1 innings. In deep leagues and NL-only leagues, he's worth holding onto despite the fact that his shoulder injury could continue to hamper him going forward.

The Los Angeles Dodgers placed left-hander Andrew Heaney (shoulder) on the injured list on Friday with left shoulder inflammation and recalled right-hander Reyes Moronta from Triple-A Oklahoma City in a corresponding move. It's extremely frustrating, as Heaney recently returned from an injured list stint due to his left shoulder. He's only made three starts on the season, but in those starts he's allowed just one earned run while striking out 23 and walking four over 15 1/3 innings. The 31-year-old could be out for an extended period of time again, but he should be stashed in all fantasy formats. There's a chance that Mitch White will join LA's rotation as we inch closer to the end of the first half of the season.

Los Angeles Dodgers left-hander Andrew Heaney (shoulder) will be expected to work at least five innings next Tuesday in his third minor league rehab start with Double-A Tulsa, according to skipper Dave Roberts. Heaney allowed two hits while walking none and striking out five in 4 1/3 scoreless innings for Triple-A Oklahoma City in his second rehab start on Thursday. In 7 1/3 rehab innings so far, the 31-year-old southpaw has given up just one earned run while walking none and striking out 10, so he's just about ready to rejoin LA's rotation. Heaney hadn't allowed a run in either of his first two starts with the Dodgers this year before his injury, and he needs to be swooped up immediately if he's on your league's waiver wire.

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Andrew Heaney (shoulder) looked good in his second minor league rehab start for Triple-A Oklahoma City on Thursday night, tossing 4 1/3 scoreless innings while allowing two hits, walking none and striking out five. Heaney threw 62 pitches in all, and he's allowed just one run while striking out 10 in his two rehab starts so far. The 31-year-old southpaw will probably make one more rehab outing before the Dodgers activate him from the injured list and return him to their starting rotation. If he was dropped in your fantasy league, now would be the time to pick him up. Heaney hadn't allowed a run in 10 1/3 innings over two starts while striking out 16 before his injury.

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Andrew Heaney (shoulder) is making another minor league rehab start for Triple-A Oklahoma City on Thursday. Heaney is expected to need one more rehab start after Thursday before he's ready to rejoin the Dodgers starting rotation. The 31-year-old left-hander allowed one earned run while walking none and striking out five over three innings in his first rehab start last weekend. Heaney had made only two starts for the Dodgers before getting injured, but he hadn't allowed a run while walking three and fanning 16 in 10 1/3 frames. Fantasy managers can only hope he'll be half as good when he makes his return from the injured list, but you should make sure his previous owner didn't drop him.

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Clayton Kershaw (pelvis) will make his first minor league rehab start for Single-A Rancho Cucamonga on Sunday, and he could rejoin the Dodgers after that if all goes well. Meanwhile, left-hander Andrew Heaney (shoulder) will start a rehab assignment with Triple-A Oklahoma City this weekend. Kershaw threw a 30-pitch bullpen session on Wednesday and has made good progress of late. Fantasy managers can't wait to get Kershaw back into their lineups, as he was performing at his usual Cy Young level before going on the injured list. Heaney hasn't pitched since mid-April due to left shoulder pain, so his rehab assignment figures to require multiple outings.

Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Andrew Heaney (shoulder) could face hitters at extended spring training Sunday. He threw innings off a mound on Thursday and could face live hitters for the first time since mid-April. The 30-year-old continues to make progress but has no clear timetable for a return. He has been sidelined for over a month now due to left shoulder discomfort. The southpaw owns a 1-0 record and a 0.68 WHIP across 16 strikeouts over 10 1/3 innings in 2022. Heaney should be stashed in all league formats and will look to return to the mound soon.

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Andrew Heaney (shoulder) completed his second bullpen session Friday afternoon. He threw 30 pitches in the session. According to Dodgers beat writer Bill Plunkett, the southpaw could begin throwing to live hitters after he has one more bullpen session. The 30-year-old has been sidelined for over a month now due to left shoulder discomfort. He dazzled in his second outing of the year, striking out 11 Cincinnati Reds over six scoreless innings. That strong performance, coupled with the Dodgers' strong track record with pitchers, makes him a worthy stash in all but the most shallow of fantasy leagues.

Los Angeles Dodgers left-hander Andrew Heaney (shoulder) said he will throw a bullpen session on Tuesday. It will be his first time throwing off a mound since he went on the injured list almost a month ago with left shoulder discomfort. The 30-year-old southpaw will travel with the Dodgers on their current road trip. Heaney started a throwing program last weekend, but the Dodgers won't rush him back, which means it could still be a while before he's activated from the injured list and back in the starting rotation. Fantasy managers must remain patient, as he'll likely need at least several minor league rehab outings before he's ready to return. Heaney hadn't allowed an earned run while walking three and striking out 16 over 10 1/3 innings in two starts before his injury.

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Andrew Heaney (shoulder) was scheduled to play catch over the weekend in Chicago, but the left-hander is still a ways away from returning from the injured list. Once he's cleared to pitch, he'll have to make several minor league rehab starts before rejoining the Dodgers starting rotation. Los Angeles initially said they'd be conservative with the 30-year-old, so this shouldn't come as a huge surprise to fantasy managers. Fellow lefty Tyler Anderson should remain in LA's rotation until Heaney is able to return, which may not be until next month at this point. Heaney allowed one unearned run while walking three and striking out 16 in his first two starts over 10 1/3 innings before his shoulder injury.

On Wednesday, Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts stated that the team is going to be "pretty conservative" with its handling of starting pitcher Andrew Heaney (shoulder). Heaney landed on the injured list wish shoulder discomfort on April 20 and he has yet to resume throwing. It's unclear what kind of timeline we're looking at for Heaney right now, but it's safe to say that Tyler Anderson will make at least two more starts in his place. Heaney was off to a great start to the year prior to the injury. He made two starts and allowed a total of one unearned run over 10.1 innings while recording 16 strikeouts.

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Andrew Heaney (shoulder) and relief pitcher Blake Treinen (shoulder) both landed on the injured list with shoulder injuries last week. Neither pitcher has resumed throwing yet. We don't have a clear timeline on either Heaney or Treinen at this point. Tyler Anderson will continue to pitch out of Heaney's rotation spot, making his next start on Friday against the Detroit Tigers. Treinen is the team's top setup man, but the team has been forced to lean more on the likes of Daniel Hudson, Alex Vesia and Brusdar Graterol since Treinen first began dealing with shoulder discomfort.

The Los Angeles Dodgers placed starting pitcher Andrew Heaney (shoulder) on the injured list on Wednesday due to left shoulder discomfort. Infielder and outfielder Zach McKinstry was recalled to take Heaney's place on the active roster. The 30-year-old has yet to allow a run in two starts spanning 10.1 innings for the Dodgers this season. He's logged 16 strikeouts while surrendering just four walks. McKinstry hit .215 with a .263 on-base percentage, seven home runs and a stolen base in 172 plate appearances for Los Angeles last season. He was hitting .404 with a .448 on-base percentage and a home run in 58 plate appearances for the franchise's Triple-A affiliate this season.

Los Angeles Dodgers starter Andrew Heaney struck out 11 batters in his start on Sunday. The right-hander also allowed just one hit and three walks in six shutout frames against the Cincinnati Reds while registering 16 swinging strikes and a 37% CSW rate. It's the second strong start in a row for the left-hander, who has yet to allow an earned run in 10.1 innings. His FIP currently sits at 1.16 and he has 16 total strikeouts compared to just three walks. He'll make his next start this weekend on Saturday against the San Diego Padres. Given how he's pitched so far, fantasy managers will probably want to keep him in their lineups for that game as well.

Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said that he projects pitchers Andrew Heaney and Tony Gonsolin as starters to begin the season. Left-hander Tyler Anderson will serve as a piggyback option out of the bullpen. Veteran southpaw David Price isn't an option as a starter because he's not built up enough. Heaney will fill in through the first turn in the rotation to begin the season while Trevor Bauer remains on the restricted list, while Gonsolin is the favorite for the fifth spot in the rotation. There's a possibility that Bauer remains out for the foreseeable future, too, so Heaney could become quite attractive in mixed leagues despite a 5.83 ERA and 1.32 WHIP in 129 2/3 innings with the Los Angeles Angels and New York Yankees in 2021.

Left-hander Andrew Heaney has agreed to a one-year, $8.5 million deal with the Los Angeles Dodgers, pending a physical, according to Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic. Heaney struggled this past season, posting a 5.83 ERA in 129.2 IP split between the Los Angeles Angels and New York Yankees. He was 8-9 and added 150 strikeouts, good for a 26.9 K%. However, Heaney had trouble with the long ball, surrendering 29 of them. He pitched exclusively in the rotation before the Yankees moved him to the bullpen in late August. In Los Angeles, he should be able to secure a rotation spot. The 30-year old isn't a bad late-round draft pick in deeper fantasy leagues with the hope that he can fix his home run problem while keeping his strikeout numbers up.

New York Yankees starting pitcher Andrew Heaney was designated for assignment by the club Tuesday ahead of their Wild Card matchup against the Red Sox. Acquired from the Angels at the trade deadline, Heaney had a rough time in the Bronx, pitching to a 7.32 ERA in 35 2/3 innings, despite flashing solid strikeout ability with 37 punchouts as a Yankee. The southpaw's struggles earned him a demotion to the bullpen- and now he'll be headed for free agency, where a team may take a chance on him in a prove-it deal thanks to his strikeout potential.

New York Yankees starting pitcher Corey Kluber (shoulder) will be activated from the 60-day injured list on Monday and will start versus the Los Angeles Angels. Kluber has missed most of the season and has been sidelined since May 27 with a right shoulder strain. When healthy, Kluber was productive with a 4-3 record and 3.04 ERA in 10 starts. Managers may want to proceed with caution at first with the veteran, but he is worth scooping up in leagues that he was dropped in. With Kluber returning to the rotation, starting pitcher Andrew Heaney will be demoted to the bullpen in a long relief role.

New York Yankees starting pitcher Andrew Heaney hasn't had the easiest time since coming over from the Angels, but he showed off his upside Wednesday night, allowing just one run on two hits and and two walks to the Red Sox in seven innings. He struck out four batters en route to his eighth win of the year. Heaney has had plenty of trouble with home runs, and the lone run allowed in this one came via a solo shot as well. If Heaney can keep the ball in the ballpark, he has the strikeout upside, with 135 in 116 innings, to be plenty valuable in fantasy.
