Beachy (elbow) threw 92 pitches over six innings in a rehab start with Triple-A Oklahoma City on Monday.

Beauty gave up three earned runs in Monday's game, but more importantly, he was able to extend his pitch count into the low 90s and toss six innings for the first time since beginning his rehab assignment June 16. The Dodgers have an opening in their rotation on the same day Beachy is next scheduled to pitch, so it's possible his next outing could come with the big club.

Beachy struck out three batters over two scoreless innings during Sunday's rehab start for Triple-A Oklahoma City, Pedro Moura of the Orange County Register reports.

Making the second appearance of what figures to be a lengthy rehab assignment, Beachy reportedly threw his fastball in the range of 87-88 mph. He clearly still needs to build up arm strength, but the right-hander could be an option for the Los Angeles rotation (or bullpen) at some point around the All-Star break.

Beachy (elbow) tossed 1.2 innings for High-A Rancho Cucamonga in his first rehab outing since undergoing Tommy John surgery last March.

It was Beachy's second Tommy John procedure in a 21-month span, so his long-term prospects remain cloudy. He's likely to need the maximum 30 days of rehab before the Dodgers decide what to do with him.

Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Brandon Beachy threw 1.2 scoreless innings for High-A Rancho Cucamonga on Tuesday in his first rehab outing since undergoing Tommy John surgery last March.

Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Brandon Beachy threw 1.2 scoreless innings for High-A Rancho Cucamonga on Tuesday in his first rehab outing since undergoing Tommy John surgery last March. Beachy missed the entire 2014 season after he underwent the procedure to repair a damaged elbow ligament for the second time in his career. "It’s exciting, it’s fun. It gets the blood flowing. [It's good to have] somebody in a different uniform in the box. It’s exciting," Beachy said after the game. "I don’t even care about the numbers, none of that matters." Beachy is expected to need multiple rehab appearances before he joins the big league club, but Tuesday's outing represents a significant step in his recovery. Beachy will know the date of his next appearance following a reevaluation on Wednesday and should be expected to ramp up his workload in each outing.

Beachy will take the next step in his rehab process by making the start Tuesday at High-A Rancho Cucamonga, where he is slated to throw two innings. His rehab assignment can last up to 30 days, meaning that Beachy could be on track to be activated off the 60-day DL by mid-July barring any setbacks.

Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Brandon Beachy will begin his rehab assignment Tuesday at High-A Rancho Cucamonga while recovering from Tommy John surgery, according to the Los Angeles Daily News. Beachy continues to recover from his second TJ surgery in 21 months by throwing two innings after completing a simulated game Thursday in Arizona. "It's getting there." Beachy told the Los Angeles Times late in May. "It's not, you know, the best I've ever felt in my life. But it feels good." There is no word as to whether Beachy be a reliever or a starter upon his return, but he could be back with the team some time in July, barring any setbacks. The Dodgers will enter Monday's game against the Texas Rangers with a 37-27 record, putting them three games ahead of the San Francisco Giants for first place in the National League West division.

Beachy (elbow) will throw a simulated game Thursday in Arizona, SB Nation's Eric Stephen reports.

It was thought that he could go on a rehab assignment sometime this week, but that would not happen for at least a few more days considering the timing of the sim game. Still, it appears as if Beachy is progressing in his recovery and he could be an option for the Dodgers in early July.

Beachy (elbow) does not expect to begin a rehab assignment for another week or so, the Orange County Register reports.

Beachy was previously expected to start a rehab assignment this week, and while he hasn't suffered a setback, his schedule seems to have been pushed back. The assignment figures to be a lengthy one, given that Beachy is working his way back from Tommy John surgery. He threw two innings against minor-league batters Monday.

Beachy (elbow) is on track to begin a rehab assignment next week following the Dodgers' road trip, David Vassegh of AM 570 reports.

Beachy threw batting practice Wednesday ahead of Los Angeles' game against Atlanta. He has progressed enough to where a rehab assignment is on the horizon, although it could take him several starts before coming off the DL.

Beachy (elbow) is scheduled to throw another live batting practice session Wednesday, Bill Plunkett of the Orange County Register reports.

From there, Beachy will head to extended spring training for more simulated work before heading out on a rehab assignment. Beachy, who is coming off his second career Tommy John surgery, will likely require a lengthy stint in the minors, perhaps even the full 30 days.

Beachy (elbow) felt fine after throwing two innings in a simulated game Saturday, Dylan Hernandez of the LA Times reports.

Beachy faced hitters Saturday for the first time this season, and it appears he was able to do so without issue. Beachy may throw a few more side sessions before he is ready for game action, but with him advancing to this point in his recovery, a rehab assignment may not be far off.

Beachy (elbow) will throw to hitters this weekend for the first time since he had Tommy John surgery, Bill Plunkett of the Orange County Register reports.

Beachy continues to work his way back from his second Tommy John surgery, and will take another step this weekend. He still has a ways to go, but if he can avoid setbacks, a return at some point in June seems likely.

Beachy's (elbow) bullpen session Tuesday did not go well according to the pitcher, the LA Daily News reports.

Beachy is attempting to change his mechanics in order to lessen the stress he puts on his elbow. He hasn't reported feeling any pain, but it's a slow process. Mid-June is probably a reasonable estimate as to his availability.

Beachy (elbow) has progressed to bullpen sessions in his recovery from Tommy John surgery, the LA Times reports.

He's had no setbacks and the hope is that Beachy will be ready in June.

Beachy (elbow) threw off a mound Tuesday and worked on his mechanics during a lengthy session, MLB.com's Ken Gurnick reports.

Beachy, who is returning from the second Tommy John surgery of his career, is targeting a return around the All-Star break. He appears to be progressing as expected thus far, and if healthy by midseason, will represent an excellent fallback option if the historically fragile Brandon McCarthy and Brandon McCarthy fail to hold up at the back end of the rotation.

Beachy has been moved to the 60-day DL.

The transaction was announced Monday morning when the Dodgers signed Dustin McGowan to a one-year deal. It's expected that Beachy will need at least the first two months of the regular season to move through the final stages of his rehab work, so the decision to free up his 40-man roster spot makes sense.

Beachy agreed to a one-year contract with the Dodgers on Saturday that includes an option for 2016, Mark Saxon of ESPNLosAngeles.com reports.

The Braves declined to tender Beachy a contract in December, making him a free agent, after the right-hander missed the entire 2014 season following Tommy John surgery. It was his second reconstructive elbow surgery in two years, and the Dodgers will be conservative in bringing him through his rehabilitation with an eye toward activation around the All-Star break. Beachy could be an option to start once healthy, but if the rotation remains intact, he could be ticketed for the bullpen.

Beachy (elbow) has signed a one year, major league contract with the Dodgers, Fox's Ken Rosenthal reports.

Beachy is recovering from his second Tommy John surgery in two years and likely won't be up in the majors until late in the season. He missed all of 2014 after undergoing the procedure in March.

The Braves declined to tender Beachy (elbow) a contract, David O'Brien of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Beachy would have been in line for only a very slight increase in salary (from 1.45 million) via arbitration after missing all of 2014 following Tommy John surgery, but the Braves ultimately decided those funds would be better allocated elsewhere. The right-hander's reconstructive elbow surgery was his second such procedure in less than two years, but the Braves do reportedly have some interest in bringing Beachy back at a reduced cost.

Beachy (elbow) has been activated from the 60-day DL.

Little has been reported in terms of Beachy's progress from Tommy John surgery in recent months, but considering it was his second such procedure in less than two years, it seems likely the Braves will be especially cautious in bringing through the rehabilitation process. Thus, the team figures to turn elsewhere to begin 2015, and the uncertainty regarding Beachy's return will make him tough to value come draft day.
