Price (5-2) got the win Wednesday over the Padres after firing a clean inning in relief.

EDGE Analysis

Price needed just 13 pitches to navigate his way through the top of the eighth and ended up grabbing an unexpected victory after the Dodgers piled on five runs in the bottom half of the frame to take an 11-9 lead. The 35-year-old has seen his role fluctuate from the bullpen to being a starter and now back to the bullpen for the final stretch of the season. Price has a 3.84 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 58:25 K:BB over 72.2 innings in 2021.

Manager Dave Roberts said Saturday that Price will return to a bullpen role, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 36-year-old returned to the mound as a reliever Sunday, and he'll remain in the bullpen since Tony Gonsolin and Clayton Kershaw (forearm) are back in the rotation. However, Price will likely be one of the Dodgers' top options to fill in as a spot starter if needed.

Price (elbow) tossed 1.2 scoreless relief innings against San Francisco on Sunday, allowing two hits and three walks while striking out one.

EDGE Analysis

The left-hander was scratched from his scheduled start Friday due to elbow soreness, and manager Dave Roberts subsequently suggested that Price may need an IL stint. Instead, the veteran took the mound just two days later. He struggled with his control, throwing only 15 of 28 pitches for strikes and issuing three free passes (one intentionally), but Price was able to escape without allowing a run. The Dodgers are in the midst of a 13-game stretch without an off day and can certainly use the rotation help, so Price could make a start this week if his elbow responds well to Sunday's outing.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said that Price (elbow) "feels a little bit better" and remains on the active roster, Michael J. Duarte of NBC LA reports.

EDGE Analysis

When Price initially felt elbow discomfort late in the week, Roberts speculated that the left-hander could end up on the injured list. Instead, Price played catch Saturday and appears to be improving. Roberts was vague when discussing whether the veteran starter is still destined for the IL, saying that Price is "active until he's not."

Price has been dealing with elbow soreness, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

Manager Dave Roberts still hasn't officially ruled Price out for Friday's game against the Giants, but he said that the left-hander could require time on the injured list. Although the 36-year-old was initially scheduled to start Friday, Corey Knebel will begin the game on the mound instead.

Price has been dealing with an arm injury recently, and his availability for Friday's game against the Giants isn't yet clear, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

The southpaw was initially slated to start Friday's game before Corey Knebel was named the opener. However, manager Dave Roberts said before the game that Price might not pitch since he's been dealing with some "arm stuff." Roberts acknowledged that the issue could lead to a stint on the injured list but didn't officially rule him out for Friday's game against the Padres.

Price will pitch behind opener Corey Knebel in Friday's game against the Giants, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Price pitched 3.2 innings in a bulk role Saturday, and he'll serve as a primary pitcher once again Friday, even though he was initially listed as a starter. The southpaw has posted a 5.47 ERA and 1.06 WHIP in 21.2 innings across his last five appearances.

Price went 3.2 innings in Saturday's 5-2 victory over Colorado, allowing two runs on two hits and two walks with one strikeout in a no-decision.

EDGE Analysis

Price was so-so in the bulk role following opener Corey Knebel, permitting a run on a hit and walk in both the third and fourth innings. The former Cy Young winner has now tossed more than 50 pitches in each of his last five outings, though he's surrendered two or three runs in each and sports a 4.37 ERA in 22.2 innings across six games this month.

Price won't start Saturday against the Rockies as previously expected but will follow opener Corey Knebel, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

A reason for the change hasn't been announced, but it looks as though Price will still be pitching in the game. Following an opener means Price won't have to throw five innings to earn a win, a threshold he's reached just twice this season despite making 11 starts.

Price (4-2) took the loss in Sunday's 7-2 defeat at the hands of the Mets, allowing three runs on three hits and two walks with four strikeouts in four innings.

EDGE Analysis

Price settled down after permitting four baserunners and all three runs in the first to retire nine of the next 10 batters, but Los Angeles was unable to overcome the early deficit. The former Cy-Young winner tossed a season-high 75 pitches and has now thrown more than 50 in each of his last four starts as the Dodgers' rotation has been hamstrung. He'll look to rebound against Colorado over the weekend.
