He'll make his first start of the season Wednesday. | Insight: The Dodgers began the season with eight starters, but Lilly is needed after injuries to Zack Greinke, Chad Billingsley and Chris Capuano and a trade of Aaron Harang.

The team doesn't think Lilly is ready to go, and that opinion was validated Tuesday when he allowed seven hits and three earned runs in a rehab start at High-A. Fantasy owners shouldn't rush to the free agent wire. | | |

He threw 90 pitches in his latest rehab start. Meanwhile, Chris Capuano has been pitching out of the bullpen and isn't stretched out to start at this time. Lilly was 5-1 with a 3.14 ERA and 1.13 WHIP in eight starts last season and has posted an ERA south of four in each of the last four seasons. | | |

Description: Ted Lilly (neck) will come off the DL and make his first start of the season on Saturday vs. San Diego. | Insight: Lilly didn't miss much time with his sore neck. We'll see how he feels after his start but it doesn't look like it will be a major problem going forward. Lilly is 12-11 with a 4.15 ERA and 1.10 WHIP in his career at Dodger Stadium, and the Padres aren't exactly a fearsome lineup, so Lilly should be in line for a solid outing on Saturday. | | |
| 3/30/2012 10:34:00 PM |
Description: Ted Lilly will start the 2012 season on the disabled list. Lilly has been dealing with a stiff neck. | Insight: The Dodgers don't need a fifth starter until April 15th and it's still possible that Lilly could be back by then.

Description: Ted Lilly (stiff neck) will throw a bullpen session on Friday. The session will determine Lilly's status for Opening Day, according to Dylan Hernandez of the LA Times. | Insight: Even if he does have to go on the disabled list, the expectation is that Lilly won't miss too much time. He's a solid option to round out your staff, as he'll provide average ERA and strikeout numbers along with an excellent WHIP. | | |

Description: Ted Lilly will miss his scheduled exhibition start on Tuesday because of a stiff neck, putting his status for the Dodgers' season-opening series with San Diego in jeopardy, MLB.com reports. | Insight: At this point, Lilly needs to make sure he's fully healthy before giving it a go for Los Angeles. Missing one or two starts and moving forward with a healthy neck is a much better alternative than aggravating the injury and missing extended time. | | |

Description: Dodgers SP Ted Lilly tossed 7 shutout innings, giving up just 4 hits and 2 walks to the Braves, while striking out 6. | Insight: This is the Lilly that owners were waiting for and it could not come at a better time, as Lilly is a two-start pitcher this scoring period. He is a solid #4/5 pitcher in mixed leagues. | | |
