Maeda (hand) will not start Thursday as scheduled, but will start Friday against the Braves instead, the Los Angeles Times' Andy McCullough reports.

This is actually excellent news, as he would have faced the Cubs in Wrigley Field on Thursday, and instead gets to face perhaps the worst offense in baseball Friday. X-rays were negative on his hand, and he is obviously in good enough shape not to get skipped, so owners should deploy him with confidence Friday. Julio Urias will take the ball Thursday.
