The Los Angeles Dodgers are adjusting their strategy for the current season as young pitcher Roki Sasaki is unlikely to be part of their long-term plans due to ongoing shoulder issues. Manager Dave Roberts indicated that the team is preparing for a future without Sasaki, who has struggled to maintain his throwing routine since injuring his shoulder that has sidelined him since mid-April. Although he has been working out in the weight room to build strength, his recent inability to throw raises concerns about his immediate contributions to the team.
We have to plan on life without him at least this year, that's fair to say.
Sasaki could only muster 34.1 innings across eight starts to begin his MLB career before a shoulder impingement landed him on the injured list since the middle of April.
