Cingrani (shoulder) threw a bullpen session Friday and is on track to begin a rehab assignment next week, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Cingrani noted that Friday is the best he's felt since going on the injured list, which is positive news for the Dodgers. He'll likely need at least a few rehab outings before rejoining the big-league club.

Cingrani (shoulder) has been pain-free while throwing off flat ground from 120 feet at extended spring training in recent days, Jorge Castillo of the Los Angeles Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Dodgers shut down Cingrani for two weeks late in the spring after he was diagnosed with a left shoulder impingement, and the respite has apparently proved effective. Cingrani should be ready to throw a bullpen session at some point this week and remains on track to return from the 10-day injured list at some point in the back half of April.

The Dodgers placed Cingrani (shoulder) on the 10-day injured list Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Cingrani has yet to resume throwing since being shut down since mid-March with left shoulder soreness and appears set to miss more than the minimum 10 days. His absence leaves Scott Alexander as the top left-handed option out of the bullpen for Los Angeles.

Cingrani has been shut down with left shoulder soreness, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

It is a recurrence of an issue he experienced last season and it will sideline him past Opening Day. He received medication and will not throw for two weeks while undergoing more treatment. Scott Alexander will now carry a heavy load as the Dodgers' clear top left-handed reliever to start the season.

Manager Dave Roberts said Cingrani will take things slowly this spring, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Cingrani dealt with a shoulder injury at the end of 2018, and although he returned before the end of the season, he wasn't as effective as before the injury. The southpaw is fully healthy heading into spring training, but it seems the Dodgers simply want to take things slowly to ensure Cingrani remains at full health for the duration of camp. As long as his clean bill of health holds up, the 29-year-old figures to be one of the top lefties in Los Angeles' bullpen this season.

Cingrani signed a one-year, $2.65 million contract with the Dodgers on Friday, avoiding arbitration, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

As Rosenthal notes, the fully guaranteed contract is a bit of an abnormality for pre-arbitration deals but the monetary figure lines up to what Cingrani's projected estimate was expected to be around. In 2018, Cingrani logged a 4.76 ERA and 1.10 WHIP with a 36:6 K:BB across 30 appearances. He will become a free agent following next season.

Cingrani hit a batter and allowed two hits without recording an out in Saturday's win over San Diego.

EDGE Analysis

Cingrani entered the ninth inning with a six-run lead, but promptly loaded the bases before giving way to Kenley Jansen to clean up his mess. The southpaw has recorded just one out in two appearances since being activated from the disabled list Sept. 17, and he will have to show improved results before being trusted in high-leverage situations again.

Cingrani (shoulder) said he expects to be activated ahead of Monday's series opener against the Rockies, J.P. Hoornstra of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Cingrani is set to rejoin the Dodgers after spending the past three months on the shelf with a shoulder injury. The southpaw posted a 4.84 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 36:6 K:BB across 22.1 innings of relief prior to suffering the injury. Given the length of his absence, the Dodgers may opt to ease Cingrani back into high-leverage work, though he should eventually work his way back to the later innings as one of the team's top southpaw relievers.

Cingrani (shoulder) will embark upon a rehab assignment with High-A Rancho Cucamonga on Friday, J.P. Hoornstra of the Southern California News Group reports.

EDGE Analysis

Cingrani will be getting his first taste of game action since June 6, when he went down with a left shoulder strain. After suffering a pair of setbacks in the following weeks, he eventually received a cortisone shot and was transferred to the 60-day DL in August. Under normal circumstances, Cingrani would likely require a few minor-league outings, but with the lower-levels winding down, he may have to settle for one or two appearances and continue his rehab with the Dodgers if he's not ready to return from the shelf in the near future.

Cingrani (shoulder) was shifted to the 60-day disabled list Wednesday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic Los Angeles reports.

EDGE Analysis

This is simply procedural, as Cingrani has already missed more than 60 days while recovering from a shoulder injury. The southpaw received a cortisone shot in his shoulder earlier in the month but remains without a timetable for his return. Hyun-Jin Ryu was reinstated from the 60-day disabled list in a corresponding roster move.
