Lilly would have to throw a bullpen session Thursday if he wants to make Saturday's scheduled start. It's not clear if Lilly will feel good enough to throw his bullpen. Manager Don Mattingly seemed to leave things open-ended, and wasn't willing name a starter for Saturday's game. If Lilly can't go, Matt McGill would likely get the start.
Matt Magill likely to replace Ted Lilly again
by Ed Gauna | CBSSports.com (5/1/2013) Dodgers manager Don Mattingly told MLB.com on Wednesday that Ted Lilly's status for Saturday's start against the Giants was "still kind of up in the air."
Lilly, who received a cortisone injection in his right ribcage Tuesday, would have to throw a bullpen session before Saturday to be a candidate to start. If he's unable to go, Matt Magill will likely replace the left-hander.
"If it's not him it would be Magill," Mattingly said.
Magill allowed two runs over 6 2/3 innings in his major-league debut against the Brewers last week.
"He's a guy that just seems to be under control," Mattingly said. "He's a guy that you can just see his precision really in his work. He's been a guy that has to locate. He's kind of constantly getting better. A couple years ago, we didn't hear very much about Matt Magill. He just started to get on the radar. He just keeps working and getting better."

"I think I have a few things to be concerned about," Lilly said. "That (back) being one of them, and just ineffectiveness. There are a lot of guys in the clubhouse who aren’t feeling as good as they’d like to, you still expect to get the results you’re looking for."
Ted Lilly shelled in first loss
by Adam Moore | CBSSports.com (4/30/2013) Dodgers starting pitcher Ted Lilly was roughed up during Monday's series opener against the Rockies. Lilly, who made his second start, allowed five runs (four earned) on eight hits over just three innings.
The left-hander surrendered two long balls during his brief outing -- both in the first inning, including a solo shot off the bat of Dexter Fowler. Wilin Rosario added a three-run blast later in the frame, giving the Rockies an early 4-0 lead.
Lilly was pulled after throwing 71 pitches -- 48 strikes -- and finished with two walks and two strikeouts, while falling to 1-1 with a 5.63 ERA. The veteran will look to get back on track when he faces the Giants Sunday night at San Francisco.
Lilly is 0-2 with a 9.67 ERA in his last two starts at AT&T Park.
Ted Lilly looks like a starter
by Chris Towers | CBSSports.com (4/27/2013) Dodgers starting pitcher Ted Lilly looked excellent in his first start of the season, striking out seven in five innings of one-run ball against the Mets Wednesday. He shut down the league's highest-scoring team, and should have an even easier time of things in Week 5 (April 29-May 5), thanks to some solid matchups. Our Al Melchior has Lilly ranked at the bottom of the top-70 in his Week 5 pitching planner, with a pair of starts on the way.
Lilly is set to take on the Rockies at home before facing the Giants in San Francisco. He has a career 3.71 ERA at Dodgers Stadium, though he has struggled with a 6.38 mark in four career starts at AT&T Park. Still, Melchoir likes his matchups in these pitcher-friendly venues enough to call Lilly a worthy low-end starting option in mixed-league Fantasy formats.
Ted Lilly Ks seven off DL
by Ed Gauna | CBSSports.com (4/24/2013) Dodgers pitcher Ted Lilly made his season debut on Wednesday night against the Mets and showed no signs of the shoulder issues that sidelined him. He allowed one run on six hits over six innings of work. The left-hander also struck out seven while walking two.
Lilly made it through his first four frames unscathed before giving up an RBI single to Ruben Tejada in the fifth. He threw 56 of his 86 pitches for strikes.
The 37-year-old left in line for the win but the bullpen was unable to hold the lead and the game went into extra innings.
Lilly is scheduled to pitch next on Monday against the Rockies. In two starts against Colorado last season, he went 2-0 with a 4.38 ERA.
Ted Lilly activated for Wednesday's start
by Jack Moore | CBSSports.com (4/24/2013) Dodgers starter Ted Lilly has officially been activated and will start Wednesday's game, the club announced.
Lilly struggled in his minor league rehab, as he went 0-3 with a 6.88 ERA in three starts. However, with the Dodgers' starting pitching ravaged by injuries, Lilly will get his shot in the majors against Matt Harvey and the Mets.
Lilly started eight games for the Dodgers in 2012 and allowed a 3.14 ERA with a 1.6 K/BB.
Ted Lilly set to return against Mets
by Ed Gauna | CBSSports.com (4/17/2013) Dodgers pitcher Ted Lilly will be activated off the disabled list to start next Wednesday against the Mets, MLB.com reports. The left-hander had been building up shoulder strength in the minors, where he went 0-3 with a 6.88 ERA in three starts.

Ted Lilly ready to return to the majors
by Jack Moore | CBSSports.com (4/17/2013) Dodgers starter Ted Lilly is ready to return to the majors, assistant pitching coach Ken Howell told MLB.com Tuesday night.
As such, if Chris Capuano -- slated for an MRI on his injured calf in the next couple of days -- is unable to make his next start, the Dodgers are expected to activate Lilly from the disabled list in his spot.
Lilly has been rehabilitating from offseason shoulder surgery. He made his third rehab start at High-A Rancho Cucamonga Tuesday, in which he allowed four runs (three earned) on seven hits and a walk with five strikeouts.
Ted Lilly to get his shot after all?
by Chris Towers | CBSSports.com (4/17/2013) Dodgers starting pitcher Ted Lilly agreed to accept another rehab start Tuesday in Triple-A Albuquerque, after appearing at odds with the organization regarding his role. Lilly has said he wants to come off the disabled list and pitch, and he may have gotten his chance Tuesday due to an injury.
Chris Capuano started for the Dodgers Tuesday in place of Zack Greinke instead of Lilly, but he was forced to leave the game early after appearing to tweak something on a fielding play. That injury could open the door for Lilly to come back from the minors in time for Capuano's next turn in the rotation next Tuesday.
The team has yet to make any official announcements on Capuano's injury, but Lilly might be worth a speculative add in deeper Fantasy formats if Capuano is forced to miss time.
Ted Lilly to pitch at Triple-A again
by Ed Gauna | CBSSports.com (4/15/2013) MLB.com reports Dodgers pitcher Ted Lilly has accepted another rehab start and will pitch for Triple-A Albuquerque on Tuesday.

Ted Lilly standoff continues
by Igor Mello | CBSSports.com (4/14/2013) Dodgers starting pitcher Ted Lilly remains in a limbo after declining a minor-league rehab start Saturday. Lilly, who thinks he has made enough progress in his recovery from shoulder surgery to come off the disabled list, could be designated for assignment, released or traded, MLB.com reports.
"We laid out a plan and Teddy doesn't want to be part of the plan. It's out of my hands," manager Don Mattingly said. "We didn't feel he was ready to pitch at the major-league level. For me, it's a baseball decision. It's nothing personal in any way, shape or form. We're giving him our baseball thoughts, what we think is best for him and the team."
by Chris Towers | CBSSports.com (4/13/2013) Dodgers starting pitcher Ted Lilly thinks he has made enough progress in his recovery from shoulder surgery to come off the disabled list. The Dodgers, by tabbing Chris Capuano as Zack Greinke's replacement in the rotation, do not agree. An impasse exists in Los Angeles, and neither side seems to know what that means for Lilly's future with the team.
"We'd like him to go back out," manager Don Mattingly told MLB.com Saturday, when asked if Lilly is finished with his minor-league rehabilitation starts. "I'll go as far as that."
For his part, Lilly believes he is ready to join the major-league roster after making two rehab starts and throwing 90 pitches in his most recent. He has said he is willing to pitch out of the bullpen, a role with which the Dodgers do not seem comfortable.
"I feel good about getting hitters out, left-handed hitters, right-handed hitters, starting, relieving, whatever it is," he said. "What happens from here, I'm not exactly sure."
Lilly has refused to accept any further rehab assignments, leaving the Dodgers in the curious position of having a pitcher who claims to be healthy sitting on the disabled list. The Dodgers may end up having to trade or release Lilly, who is making $13.5 million this season.
Ted Lilly won't replace Zack Greinke
by Chris Towers | CBSSports.com (4/13/2013) The Dodgers announced Saturday that Chris Capuano will join the rotation in place of Zack Greinke on Tuesday, meaning Ted Lilly's recovery from shoulder surgery will not continue at the major-league level just yet.
Lilly has been working his way back at the minor-league level, pitching as recently as Thursday at Triple-A Albuquerque. Lilly has thrown 12 innings in his rehab assignment so far, allowing 10 earned runs on 17 hits, with four home runs. He will likely be next in line to join the rotation, if Capuano falters or another spot opens up otherwise.
To add Chris Capuano or Ted Lilly?
by Scott White | Senior Fantasy Writer (4/12/2013) With Aaron Harang out of the picture, Chris Capuano, currently working as a long reliever, is the most obvious choice to replace the injured Zack Greinke in the Dodgers rotation, right?
Wrong.
Remember Ted Lilly, that old guy who missed most of last year with a shoulder injury? Well, before that, he was one of the more reliable middle-of-the-rotation options in the National League, compiling a 3.54 ERA and 1.10 WHIP over the last four seasons. And he just threw 90 pitches in a minor-league rehab start Wednesday, leaving the Dodgers wondering what to do with him next.
Hmm. Capuano is already prepped for the bullpen and has been hit or miss throughout his career. Lilly hasn't pitched out of the bullpen in 10 years and has been mostly a hit during his career.
Granted, Jeremy Guthrie and Travis Wood might both be better options off the waiver wire at this stage of the season, but if I'm picking up a Dodger, I'm picking up Lilly.
Ted Lilly could serve as rotation replacement
by Bill Passonno | CBSSports.com (4/12/2013) Dodgers pitcher Ted Lilly (shoulder) could be considered the leading candidate to replace Zack Greinke in the rotation after returning from his minor-league rehab assignment, ESPN.com reports.
Greinke is expected to miss at least a month after suffering a broken collarbone during a bench-clearing brawl against the Padres Thursday.
Los Angeles would need to fill the spot for Tuesday's game, coincidentally against San Diego.
Dodgers nearing decision on Ted Lilly
by R.J. White | CBSSports.com (4/11/2013) The Dodgers will soon have to decide what to do with starting pitcher Ted Lilly after he threw 90 pitches in a rehab start Wednesday and reported no setbacks.
"It sounds like he felt good," manager Don Mattingly told MLB.com. "The ball was coming out better [than his start at Class A Rancho Cucamonga five days earlier]. He's gotten sharper. Rick [Honeycutt, pitching coach] looked at the tape and there's a lot more quality pitches. Obviously, he's going in the right direction.
"The plan right now is for him to throw a bullpen [session Thursday] and see where we go after that. We haven't made any decision."
Lilly may not be suited for a bullpen role due to his recovering shoulder, and a $12 million salary could make him difficult to trade, per MLB.com.

by Jeff Lippman | CBSSports.com (4/2/2013) Dodgers disabled pitcher Ted Lilly, who is working back from offseason shoulder surgery, threw a lengthy bullpen session Tuesday, MLB.com reports. Lilly is hoping to pitch in a minor league game Friday at Rancho Cucamonga.
Manager Don Mattingly and pitching coach Rick Honeycutt are hoping to get Lilly's arm strength built back up so that he can resume starting. That said, there is no guarantee he'll be starting for the Dodgers as the team's rotation is pretty stacked.
"It'll work itself out," Mattingly said.
Lilly, who is in the final year of his contract, was having the best season of his career before getting injured. He was 5-1 with a 3.14 ERA before going down.
