The Los Angeles Dodgers have faced significant pitching injuries during the first half of the season, particularly with prized player Roki Sasaki now on the 60-day injured list. Despite this setback, there's optimism as Sasaki has restarted his throwing program, crucial for rehabilitation. Manager Dave Roberts emphasized that Sasaki is feeling pain-free and showed enthusiasm about his recovery progress. Although his early MLB performance has been subpar with a 4.72 ERA, his potential remains high, especially given his impressive stats in Japan.
Roberts expressed relief that Sasaki is starting to throw again, saying, "That was a bonus. That was a plus. Chatted with him briefly afterward. He was excited about it."
The positive news is that Sasaki is feeling "pain-free," with Roberts stating, "Now it's just getting the build-up." This contrasts with earlier updates.
