Latest on Wacha from Rotoworld: Wacha, who had his last start skipped, tossed six scoreless innings Friday against the Giants. Wacha was pitching on 11 days’ rest, but he was still sharp in allowing four hits and striking out five. He’s posted a 2.74 ERA while being handled carefully by the Cardinals; he’s topped 90 pitches just twice in seven starts, with a high of 101.
Maeda is expected to return to the Dodgers’ rotation on Thursday against the Cardinals. That’s provided that everything goes smoothly with his minor league rehab start with High-A Ranco Cucamonga on Friday. Maeda has been dealing with a minor hamstring issue
