LOS ANGELES — Dodgers pitcher Kenta Maeda will pitch in a minor league rehab game on Friday night with Class-A Rancho Cucamonga, keeping his arm loose as he prepares to return from his stint on the disabled list.
Maeda is expected to pitch four innings and throw roughly 60 pitches on Friday, manager Dave Roberts said Tuesday. The right-hander last pitched on May 10.
“It’s been kind of a long layoff for Kenta. We talked to him, and he was open to it,” Roberts said. “Some time next week he will be back in the rotation.
