Latos is expected to start Monday against the Rockies, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Latos is in danger of being completely removed from the starting rotation and Monday's outing will likely dictate his value for the remainder of the season. If he performs poorly then Michael Bolsinger will have a chance to be an annual starter as the season draws to a close.

Latos' place in the Dodgers rotation isn't secure, Dylan Hernandez of the LA Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

When asked specifically about Latos after Thursday's latest poor effort, manager Don Mattingly had this to say: "I'm sure it's something we'll talk about". Look for Latos to be replaced by Mike Bolsinger should Bolsinger fare well in his spot start Friday.

Latos struggled on Thursday, allowing four runs on eight hits while striking out three across four innings in a no-decision against the Padres.

EDGE Analysis

Latos is by far the weak link in the Dodgers rotation right now and if he continues to pitch like this, his spot could be in jeopardy. The biggest concern is the length he's giving the Dodgers, as he has failed to pitch into the sixth inning in three of his four starts. Clearly Latos is losing the trust of fantasy owners and he's becoming hard to start even for streaming purposes. He'll look to bounce back against the Angels on Wednesday in his next start, if he is still in the rotation.

Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Mat Latos will work out of the bullpen for the next 10-11 days due to the team's pending off days over the next two weeks, according to the Los Angeles Times. With three days off over the next two weeks, the Dodgers will use a four-man rotation, and Latos is the odd man out after allowing 11 runs in 14.2 innings since joining the team via trade from the Miami Marlins.

The Miami Marlins have traded pitcher Mat Latos to the Los Angeles Dodgers, according to Yahoo Sports. Latos, who is 4-7 with a 4.48 ERA this season, will assume a role in the Dodgers' starting rotation.

The Miami Marlins traded starting pitcher Mat Latos to the Los Angeles Dodgers on Wednesday, according to the Chicago Sun-Times. Latos, outfielder Michael Morse and a top-40 draft pick will head to the Dodgers in exchange for three pitching prospects. The 27-year-old, who was traded from the Cincinnati Reds to the Marlins this past offseason, was off to a rough start but has righted the ship of late with a 2.96 ERA and a 43:9 K:BB ratio in his last seven starts. Latos will upgrade the Dodgers' rotation, which is relatively thin behind aces Clayton Kershaw and Zack Greinke. The seven-year veteran is making an affordable $3.5 million in what is the final year of his contract, and will become an unrestricted free agent following the season. Latos was next scheduled to start Saturday but it is unclear when he will make his team debut.

Miami Marlins starting pitcher Mat Latos said he is ready to return to the rotation after recovering from a foot injury, according to the Miami Herald. Latos skipped his last start before the All-Star break after he was hit on the foot by a foul ball on July 5, but has since returned to full strength. “We took a professional measure, which gave me some extra time,” Latos said. “My body feels great. I pitched with one leg early in the year and it wasn’t great." After an extremely tough start to his first season as a Marlin, Latos has lowered his ERA every month since April. The 27-year-old has attributed his success to his return to full fitness, so he appears ready to carry his positive momentum forward once he does return. Latos currently holds a 3-6 record, 4.90 ERA and 67 strikeouts in 75.1 innings.

Latos has been scratched from his Saturday start due to a foot injury, Joe Frisaro of MLB.com reports. Latos could miss just one start with the issue, especially with extra rest in the All-Star break around the corner. Adam Conley will be recalled to start in his place Saturday, but it will likely be a spot start unless Latos' injury turns out to be something serious.

Latos was a tough-luck loser against the Cubs on Sunday, allowing just one run on a hit and two walks across seven innings. He struck out seven in falling to 3-6. The righty shut down the Chicago offense on the day and actually allowed his only run on a wild pitch, but received no run support and took the loss as a result. Latos has now thrown back-to-back quality starts and will carry a 4.90 ERA into a Saturday home matchup with his former team, the Cincinnati Reds.

Latos improved to 3-5 with a quality start win Tuesday against the Giants, as he gave up three runs (two earned) on six hits and struck out four over six innings. Latos has been up-and-down since coming off the DL. Tuesday's performance was his second quality start in four appearances since returning June 13, and his ERA is 3.86 over that span. It's unimpressive for Latos in mammoth Marlins Park, but he had a 6.12 ERA before going on the disabled list. He has 24 strikeouts against just six walks since returning as well, a great sign as he is beginning to look a little more like his old self again.
