Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Kenta Maeda looked like he was finding his groove in May. He threw a combined 14.2 scoreless innings in back-to-back starts against the Miami Marlins and Colorado Rockies.
In his next start, however, Maeda only lasted 1.2 frames and gave up two runs before exiting early with a hip strain. In two starts since returning from that injury, Maeda has not been as effective as he was before he landed on the disabled list.
He allowed two runs over five innings against the Texas Rangers last Wednesday, only notching one strikeout.
