Opener assignment Tuesday Ferguson will serve as the opening pitcher in the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader at Colorado, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.

Impact Ryan Pepiot looks poised to operate in bulk relief for the visiting Dodgers. Ferguson boasts a 2.47 ERA and 67:22 K:BB in 58.1 innings this season, but he'll probably only cover the bottom of the first Tuesday versus the Rockies.

Impact Manager Dave Roberts also noted that Ryan Yarbrough will be part of the pitching plan, likely as a bulk reliever. It's the sixth opener assignment this season for Ferguson, who boasts a 2.56 ERA and 66:21 K:BB over 56.1 frames in 2023.

Opener assignment Tuesday Ferguson will serve as the opening pitcher Tuesday against the Tigers, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Impact Ryan Pepiot is lined up to operate in bulk relief. Ferguson, 27, carries a steady 2.44 ERA and 63:21 K:BB in 55.1 innings this season with the Dodgers, but he hasn't thrown more than 25 pitches in a single appearance since June.

SEPTEMBER 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Collects third save Ferguson struck out one in a perfect inning to earn the save in Monday's 7-4 win over the Diamondbacks.

Impact Ferguson got the call for the save with Evan Phillips presumably unavailable after pitching three of the previous four days. Ferguson got the job done on a tidy nine pitches (eight strikes) for his seventh scoreless outing in his last eight appearances. The southpaw is at a 2.70 ERA despite a 1.42 WHIP and 55:21 K:BB through 50 innings this season while collected three saves, 15 holds, four blown saves and a 7-3 record. Ferguson should continue to serve more frequently as a setup option.

AUGUST 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Will be opener Sunday Ferguson will serve as an opener for the Dodgers on Sunday in Boston, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Impact Gavin Stone will be the primary pitcher for the Dodgers, but he'll be preceded by Ferguson. It will be the fourth opener assignment this season for Ferguson, who has allowed one run in three innings over his first three outings.

AUGUST 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Pitches scoreless inning Ferguson did not factor into the decision Thursday, allowing one hit and zero walks over a scoreless inning against the Guardians.

Impact Ferguson opened the game for the Dodgers and retired the first two batters he faced before hitting Kole Calhoun with a pitch. He also allowed a single in the inning but was able to work his way out of the jam before being relieved by Ryan Yarbrough to open the second. The reliever has not allowed a run in six of his last appearances, though he's also recorded just two strikeouts over that stretch.

AUGUST 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Confirmed as opener Thursday Ferguson will serve as the Dodgers' opening pitcher in Thursday's later game at Cleveland, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Impact Ferguson was not needed in the resumption of Wednesday's suspended game, so he'll get the call to kick off the Dodgers' regularly-scheduled tilt versus the Guardians, likely covering only the first inning before giving way to bulk pitcher Ryan Pepiot. Ferguson, 27, carries a 2.87 ERA and 54:20 K:BB across 47 innings this season with Los Angeles.

AUGUST 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Could be opener in second game Ferguson is expected to serve as the Dodgers' opener in Thursday's later game against the Guardians, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.

Impact That could change depending on how the bullpen usage shakes out in the resumption of Wednesday's suspended game. Whatever the case, Ryan Pepiot is lined up to handle the bulk of the innings for Los Angeles in Thursday's regularly-scheduled tilt at Cleveland.

Serving as opener Saturday Ferguson will serve as the Dodgers' opening pitcher for the first game of Saturday's doubleheader with the Marlins, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

Impact Los Angeles is treating the opening game as a bullpen day, so Ferguson will likely work no more than an inning or two before giving way to Ryan Pepiot, who will be recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City and is expected to cover the bulk of the innings for the contest. Ferguson has excelled in a setup role for Los Angeles this season, logging a 2.38 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 53:20 K:BB across 45.1 innings.

AUGUST 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Nabs win Wednesday Ferguson (6-3) earned the win over the Diamondbacks on Wednesday with a perfect inning in relief.

Impact The game was scoreless through six frames, but Dodgers starter Bobby Miller opened the seventh by allowing the first two batters he faced to reach base. Ferguson took over and quickly stamped out the threat, making a nifty diving catch on an attempted sacrifice bunt and doubling the runner off second. He then retired Corbin Carroll to end the inning, and Ferguson took the win as a result of Los Angeles scoring two runs in the bottom of the frame. The southpaw has been a key piece of the team's bullpen this season, collecting six wins, 14 holds and two saves while posting a 2.91 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 52:20 K:BB over 43.1 innings.

AUGUST 10, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Tagged with third loss Ferguson (3-3) took the loss Sunday, allowing a run on three hits over one inning against Philadelphia. He struck out two.

Impact Serving as the opener Sunday, Ferguson allowed three consecutive one-out singles, putting the Dodgers in an early 1-0 hole. Following a stretch of 17 scoreless appearances, the 26-year-old southpaw has now allowed at least one run in five of his last six outings, sporting a 15.43 ERA over 4.2 innings in that span. Ferguson's ERA is up to 3.91 through 23 innings this season with a 1.48 WHIP and 27:10 K:BB.

JUNE 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Opening Sunday's contest Ferguson will serve as the Dodgers' opening pitcher for Sunday's game against the Phillies, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Impact Manager Dave Roberts said after Saturday's 9-0 win that the Dodgers would use a left-handed opening pitcher Sunday for the second time in the series, and rather than going back to Victor Gonzalez -- who started Friday -- the skipper will instead turn to Ferguson to open the finale in Philadelphia. Ferguson hasn't recorded more than three outs in any of his 26 appearances this season and may only work an inning or two before turning the game over to the bullpen.

Collapses in ninth Ferguson (3-1) took a blown save and a loss Tuesday against the Reds, allowing three runs on one hit and three walks while getting through just a third of an inning.

Impact Ferguson was called upon to protect a two-run lead in the ninth after Brusdar Graterol and Evan Phillps worked the seventh and eighth innings, respectively. He quickly got himself into some major trouble, allowing a single, walking three and hitting a batter before being replaced by Shelby Miller with the game tied up. Miller tossed two pitches and the Reds walked it off with a hit from Matt McLain. Ferguson has now given up six runs over his last three innings pitched. Prior to May 27, he had given up just two runs all year over 18.1 innings. He is still the team's top left-handed pitching option but may have lost his chance at a ninth-inning role for the near future.

JUNE 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Secures second save Ferguson earned a save against the Rays on Saturday, allowing a run on two hits and a walk while striking out one batter over two-thirds of an inning.

Impact Coming into the contest, Evan Phillips and Brusdar Graterol had combined to notch 10 of the Dodgers' 13 saves on the season, but manager Dave Roberts eschewed that approach and deployed Graterol in the seventh inning and Phillips in the eighth Saturday. Phillips was left in the game to retire the first batter in the ninth before Roberts turned to Ferguson to close things out. The move nearly backfired, as the southpaw allowed three of the first four batters he faced to reach base, resulting in a run. However, Ferguson was able to get Harold Ramirez to ground out to end the threat. Ferguson picked up his second save to go along with seven holds, and he's pitched very well overall, posting a 1.42 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 23:6 K:BB over 19 innings. However, Phillips and Graterol still figure to get most of the save chances for Los Angeles moving forward.

MAY 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Gets first save Ferguson struck out the only batter he faced to earn the save in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Padres.

Impact Brusdar Graterol allowed a pair of two-out singles in the ninth inning, but Ferguson was able to strike out Jake Cronenworth on five pitches to end the threat. Ferguson has two wins and a save over his last three appearances, and he stretched his scoreless streak to 11.1 innings. The southpaw has a 1.17 ERA, 0.91 WHIP and 17:3 K:BB across 15.1 innings while adding five holds and a 3-0 record this season. As long as he's pitching well, he should continue to serve in a setup role.

MAY 14, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Activated from paternity leave Ferguson was activated Friday from the paternity list.

Impact Ferguson is back in the Dodgers' bullpen ahead of Friday night's series opener against the Padres after spending a few days away from the club to be with his growing family.
