Manager Dave Roberts announced that he is optimistic that Maeda (leg) will be able to make his next scheduled start, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.

Maeda has reportedly improved dramatically overnight and is walking without a limp in the Dodgers' clubhouse Wednesday, less than one day removed from taking a line drive off his right leg during his start against Arizona. His next scheduled start will be Sunday against Milwaukee, so he figures to continue receiving treatment over the next few days before the Dodgers make an official decision on his status over the weekend.
