Koehler (shoulder) will begin a throwing program Friday at extended spring training, Pedro Moura of The Athletic Los Angeles reports.

EDGE Analysis

Koehler suffered a capsule strain in his shoulder early on during spring training, and he reportedly had been able to complete daily activities pain-free for about a month now. He'll finally take the next step in his rehab program, though he's likely still a ways away from a full return to action given how long it's been since he's thrown a ball. Koehler is eligible to return from the disabled list on May 26.

Koehler (shoulder) was transferred to the 60-day disabled list Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Koehler was shifted to the 60-day DL in order to open up a 40-man roster spot for Jesus Liranzo, who was acquired from the Orioles in a trade Monday. The 31-year-old Koehler remains without a timetable for his return as he continues to work his way back from a sprained shoulder capsule, but now he won't be eligible to return until May 26 at the earliest.

Koehler (shoulder) was placed on the 10-day disabled list Thursday, Eric Stephen of TrueBlueLA.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Koehler continues to work his way back from a sprained shoulder capsule that he suffered at the beginning of March. It's still unclear where he's at in his rehab, so his timetable remains unclear at the moment. Koehler is expected to serve as a long reliever once healthy, while he could also be an option as a spot starter.

Koehler (shoulder) is pain-free for nearly all daily activities, but it's unclear when he will be able to begin throwing, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

He is going to open the season on the disabled list while he recovers from a sprained shoulder capsule. Koehler has been freed from the restraint device that kept his right arm at his side, and the next progression will likely be some sort of soft-toss program. While Koehler will be an option as a spot starter, he is more likely to spend the bulk of the season serving as a long reliever.

Koehler (shoulder) will begin the season on the disabled list, the Los Angeles Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Koehler was disagnosed with a mild anterior capsule strain Friday. He is not planning to have surgery, but his recovery timeline is unclear. The team is optimistic that he'll pitch this year, but the fact that that's being presented as an optimistic scenario is certainly not a good sign. Josh Fields, Wilmer Font, Yimi Garcia, Zach Neal, Adam Liberatore and Edward Paredes are now competing for three spots at the back of the Dodgers' bullpen.

Koehler's MRI Friday revealed a mild anterior capsule strain, Bill Shaikin of the Los Angeles Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Koehler suffered the injury during Friday's game against the White Sox. The recovery timeline is unclear, with Koehler saying it "could be weeks, could be months". He was expected to be fighting for a role in the Dodgers' bullpen, but the given timeline casts his readiness for Opening Day in serious doubt.

Koehler is being sent for an MRI on his right shoulder after exiting Friday's spring game early, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

In terms of pitcher injuries, an MRI on the throwing shoulder is about as ominous as it gets. Koehler was on track to serve as a long reliever and spot starter for the Dodgers this season. His status will be updated when the results of the MRI are made public. Koehler notched a 3.00 ERA in 12 innings as a reliever last season and a 7.42 ERA in 60.2 innings as a starter. He spent time on the DL last season with right shoulder bursitis.

Koehler has been removed from Friday's game against the White Sox with an apparent injury, Bill Shaikin of the Los Angeles Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

The nature of the injury isn't yet clear. Koehler was signed by the Dodgers in December after a largely disappointing 2017 season spent with the Marlins and Blue Jays. After struggling to a 7.42 ERA in 13 starts last season, Koehler transitioned to the bullpen with Toronto and is expected to remain there in Los Angeles. Future reports should clarify whether Koehler's status for Opening Day is in doubt.

Koehler agreed to a one-year deal with the Dodgers on Friday, Chris Cotillo of SB Nation reports.

EDGE Analysis

Koehler appeared in 27 games between the Marlins and Blue Jays in 2017, posting a 6.69 ERA and 1.62 WHIP over 72.2 innings. Although he had been disastrous during his time as a starter with Miami this past season, Toronto mainly used him out of the bullpen, and received much better results, as he sported a 2.65 ERA and 18:6 K:BB in 17 innings with the club after being traded to the Blue Jays in August. Looking ahead, it's likely that Koehler will be used in middle relief for the Dodgers, but could wind up making a spot start, or two, if it's necessary.

Toronto has decided against tendering Koehler an offer for 2018.

EDGE Analysis

Koehler struggled as a starter for the Marlins for much of last season, but was dealt to the Blue Jays in mid-August in an attempt to squeeze something out of him. His tenure in Toronto was markedly better, but he made only one start for the club before moving to the bullpen. The team has opted to go a different direction, but his late-season effort could land him a spring training opportunity elsewhere.
