Los Angeles Dodgers right-hander Emmet Sheehan may be in line for a big-league start on Sunday, according to Bill Plunkett of the Orange County Register. Plunkett previously reported on June 28 that Sheehan's next start would be for Triple-A Oklahoma City, so this would be a change of plans for the team. Sheehan has made one appearance for the Dodgers this year, throwing four innings against the San Diego Padres on June 18 and allowing one run while recording six strikeouts. The 25-year-old has spent most of 2025 in the minors as he works his way back from the Tommy John surgery he underwent in May of 2024. His 4.58 ERA in 17 2/3 (five starts) at Triple-A is middling, but the underlying numbers are far more promising. Sheehan has struck out 42.5% of the batters he's faced and holds a ridiculous 39.7% K-BB%. He could be a very interesting pickup in fantasy should he secure a rotation spot with the Dodgers.

Los Angeles Dodgers right-hander Emmet Sheehan's next start won't be with the Dodgers, rather, he will get another turn at Triple-A Oklahoma City, according to manager Dave Roberts. Sheehan dazzled in his last start for Oklahoma City, tossing six perfect innings without allowing a hit or a walk while striking out 13 of the 18 batters he faced. The 25-year-old also made one start for Los Angeles earlier this month, in which he also looked good, striking out six batters compared to just one walk in four innings of work. The 6-foot-5 hurler could rejoin the big leagueclub after his next start, although with Tyler Glasnow potentially returning in two weeks, it could leave Sheehan in a relief role unless the team were to go to a six-man rotation. Fantasy managers in need of pitching that also have an available bench or NA spot may want to consider stashing him and see how it shakes out.

Los Angeles Dodgers pitching prospect Emmet Sheehan didn't allow a baserunner in six perfect innings while striking out 13 in Wednesday's 16-0 win against Triple-A Sacramento. Sheehan picked up the win in dominant fashion, with a ridiculous 21 swinging strikes on 42 swings. The four-seamer sat at a season high 97.3 MPH in the outing and overpowered opposing hitters, accounting for 15 of the 21 whiffs. The 25-year-old right-hander did well in his return to the majors on June 18 with four scoreless innings and six strikeouts. He continues to build up his pitch count as he reached 73 in this outing. The Dodgers rotation has more healthy arms than rotation spots at the moment, but that can always change and with Sheehan's strikeout upside, he'd be worth an add in most formats.

The Los Angeles Dodgers announced on Thursday that they optioned right-hander Emmet Sheehan to Triple-A Oklahoma City and selected the contract of right-hander Jack Little from the minors in a corresponding move. The team also transferred right-hander Tony Gonsolin (elbow) to the 60-day injured list. Sheehan made his 2025 season debut in Wednesday night's walk-off win over the division-rival San Diego Padres and looked sharp, allowing just one earned run on three hits while walking none and striking out six in four innings in a no-decision. The 25-year-old former sixth-rounder will serve as rotation depth for now in the minors, but another spot start could be coming sooner than later with Tyler Glasnow, Blake Snell, Roki Sasaki and Gonsolin all on the IL. Sheehan had an ERA just south of 5.00 but struck out 64 in 60 1/3 innings in his rookie season in L.A. in 2023.

Los Angeles Dodgers right-hander Emmet Sheehan (elbow) will be activated from the 60-day injured list to make his 2025 season debut on Wednesday against the division-rival San Diego Padres, according to David Vassegh. Even though the Padres have had their fair share of offensive struggles of late, Sheehan won't be a recommended fantasy streamer in his first start in the big leagues since having Tommy John surgery in May of last year that caused him to miss all of the 2024 season. The 25-year-old made his big-league debut with L.A. in 2023 and posted a 4.92 ERA and 1.19 WHIP with 64 K's and 26 walks in 60 1/3 innings over 13 outings (11 starts). Sheehan threw only 63 pitches in his final rehab start with Triple-A Oklahoma City last Thursday, so he's unlikely to go deep in Wednesday's outing. As soon as one of the Dodgers' injured starters returns from the IL, Sheehan will most likely move to a relief role.

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Emmet Sheehan (elbow) will return to the rotation at some point next week, according to Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic. Sheehan has been working his way back from Tommy John surgery, and after building up to 63 pitches in his most recent rehab outing, appears ready to return to the majors. It seems likely that Sheehan will begin on a pitch count and, therefore, is unlikely to go deep into games during his first few starts. The 25-year-old showed promise in 2023 before his injury and has some appeal in deeper fantasy formats. Other than that, he is more of a wait-and-see at this point.

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Emmet Sheehan (elbow) is looking to stretch out to four innings in his next rehab start, and after that Dodgers' manager Dave Roberts said there could be a conversation about Sheehan being a rotation option in the majors. The 25-year-old righty went 4-1 in 13 games (11 starts) in 2023 with a 4.92 ERA, 4.85 FIP, and 9.55 K/9. He underwent Tommy John surgery in May of 2024 and has looked sharp in his three rehab starts, giving up four hits and one run with 14 strikeouts in just eight innings. He is still just stretching out and will likely be limited when he returns, but he brings a very high ceiling if he can lock down a rotation spot for the Dodgers and return to his pre-injury form. His strikeout ceiling and potential spot in the Dodgers' rotation make him worth watching closely for all formats.

Los Angeles Dodgers right-handed pitcher Emmet Sheehan (elbow) made his second rehab start on Saturday for Triple-A Oklahoma City. The 25-year-old made it through three innings (58 pitches), allowing one earned run on two hits and a walk while striking out four. The former sixth-round draft pick is working his way back from a hybrid Tommy John surgery and internal-brace procedure on May 15 of last year. In 13 big-league appearances (11 starts) in 2023, he owned a 4.92 ERA, 1.19 WHIP, and 64:26 K:BB in 60 1/3 innings. There's no guarantee Sheehan will slot back into the Dodger rotation when he's ready, however, the team currently has multiple starters on the IL, including Roki Sasaki, Tyler Glasnow, Blake Snell, and Tony Gonsolin, so there should be an opportunity if he performs well. The Boston College product will likely need at least a few more starts before he'll be ready, so look for a potential July return.

Los Angeles Dodgers right-hander Emmet Sheehan (elbow) faced live hitters in a simulated game on Thursday, according to manager Dave Roberts. The skipper doesn't know when Sheehan will be cleared for a minor-league rehab assignment, but also said "he's getting close." Sheehan threw roughly 40 pitches on Thursday and will be built up as a starter given all the team's injuries to their starters in the early portion of the season. The 25-year-old is working his way back after having a hybrid Tommy John surgery and internal-brace procedure on May 15 of last year. He has been throwing off a mound since late March, but there's still no timetable for his return. In a best-case scenario, Sheehan will be available to the Dodgers in the second half of this year, but he won't be guaranteed a rotation spot. In his first 13 big-league outings (11 starts) in 2023, he had a 4.92 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 64:26 K:BB in 60 1/3 innings.

According to Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic, Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Emmet Sheehan (elbow) is hoping to start rehab games in May or June. The 25-year-old has been throwing off a mound but still has to progress through many stages of his recovery process before embarking on an assignment. Sheehan was unable to pitch all last season due to a forearm injury. In May, he underwent an internal brace procedure. In 2023, the Boston College product logged 60 1/3 innings of work with a 4.92 ERA and a 1.19 WHIP. He struck out 64 batters but struggled with his command as he held a hefty 10.5 percent walk rate. Under the hood, he generated a 3.50 xERA and a .186 xBA, which suggests that he should see some positive regression once he returns to the mound. However, given the crowded Los Angeles rotation that will also welcome back Shohei Ohtani, he may have to shift to a long relief role.

Los Angeles Dodgers right-hander Emmet Sheehan (elbow) said that his Tommy John surgery last week also included an internal brace. Sheehan also said he suffered an oblique injury during spring training, in addition to the forearm irritation he dealt with. He mentioned an expected 13 months before his potential return, which essentially means he won't be an option for the Dodgers' starting rotation until around the All-Star break in 2025. The former sixth-round selection in 2021 out of Boston College won't return anytime soon after not being able to pitch at all in 2024. In his major-league debut last year, Sheehan went 4-1 with a 4.92 ERA (4.85 FIP) and 1.19 WHIP with 26 walks and 64 strikeouts in 60 1/3 innings over 13 outings (11 starts). There's obvious strikeout upside with Sheehan for fantasy managers in keeper/dynasty leagues, but home runs and walks were an issue last year.

Los Angeles Dodgers right-hander Emmet Sheehan (elbow) underwent season-ending Tommy John surgery on his UCL on Wednesday. The procedure was performed successfully by Dr. Neal ElAttrache in Los Angeles. Sheehan was cleared to face hitters in late March but then was shut down in the middle of April when he had a setback with his right elbow. The 24-year-old will now miss all of the 2024 season and probably will not be able to return for the Dodgers until around midseason in 2025. It's a big blow for one of the Dodgers' promising young arms after he made his big-league debut in 2023, going 4-1 with a 4.92 ERA (4.85 FIP) and 1.19 WHIP while walking 26 and striking out 64 in 60 1/3 innings over his 13 outings (11 starts). Sheehan can now be safely dropped by any fantasy managers in deeper redraft leagues that were hanging onto him in an IL spot.

Los Angeles Dodgers right-hander Emmet Sheehan (forearm) hasn't thrown off a mound yet, but he's progressing well and has been ramping up the intensity of his long-toss program. Sheehan has been throwing after being shut down in the middle of April due to a right-forearm injury that he suffered in mid-March in spring training. The 24-year-old will be eligible to return from the 60-day injured list on May 18, but that's probably not going to happen given the fact that he has yet to pitch all season to this point. But if Sheehan can avoid any setbacks from here on out, he should be able to rejoin the Dodgers' big-league roster before the All-Star break. He debuted in the majors in 2023 and went 4-1 with a 4.92 ERA and 1.19 WHIP with 26 walks and 64 strikeouts in 60 1/3 innings over 13 appearances (11 starts).

Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Emmet Sheehan (forearm) has been shut down from throwing again, according to manager Dave Roberts. The 24-year-old's injury isn't responding the way the team hoped it would as Roberts said it's "a longer term situation". Of course, that is grim news for the right-hander as long-term forearm issues never pan out properly for the player. Sheehan has yet to appear in a game this season after he worked to a 4.92 ERA across 13 appearances (11 starts) and 60 1/3 innings with the Dodgers last season. He struck out a solid 25.8% of the batters he faced in that time but the massive strikeout rates he put forth in the minors firmly put him on the fantasy radar in 2024. It doesn't appear he will be available to fantasy managers any time soon.

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Emmet Sheehan (forearm) has been placed on the 15-day injured list with right forearm inflammation. Sheehan was an option for the starting rotation entering the spring, but was beat out by Gavin Stone. Forearm injuries are always concerning, but there hasn't been a clear timeline on when the Dodgers expect the 24-year-old to return. For now, Sheehan remains best served in dynasty leagues, however, managers should monitor his situation when more updates become available.

Los Angeles Dodgers right-hander Emmet Sheehan is going to begin the season on the injured list, according to manager Dave Roberts. Sheehan has been dealing with general soreness this spring and seemingly will not begin the season in the Dodgers' rotation. The 24-year-old got into 13 games with the Dodgers in the 2023 season, working to a 4.92 ERA across 60 1/3 innings of work. However, he also dominated to the tune of a 1.86 ERA across 12 appearances (10 starts) at the Double-A level, punching out a hefty 41.7% of the hitters he faced during that time. With Walker Buehler still sidelined following Tommy John surgery and Clayton Kershaw out until mid-season due to shoulder surgery, it looks like Gavin Stone is the top pivot for fantasy managers when it comes to the Dodgers' rotation.

Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said that right-hander Emmet Sheehan should be starting to throw around plyo balls soon at camp. There's a chance that he's not ready to go for the two-game series against the San Diego Padres in Korea on March 20-21, but Sheehan shouldn't be behind schedule for domestic Opening Day on March 28 in Los Angeles. The 24-year-old is dealing with general soreness at spring training and is a bit behind, but he should be part of the team's Opening Day starting rotation with Walker Buehler (elbow) still recovering from Tommy John surgery. Sheehan went 4-1 with a 4.92 ERA and 1.19 WHIP with 26 walks and 64 K's in his first 13 MLB games (11 starts) last year. He has an electric fastball but struggled to keep the ball in the yard. There's clear upside here, especially in LA, but Sheehan may need a bit more development.
