The Los Angeles Dodgers have faced a challenging season in terms of injuries within their pitching staff, with key players like Tyler Glasnow, Blake Snell, Tony Gonsolin, and Roki Sasaki sidelined. Notably, despite this adversity, the Dodgers remain at the top of the NL West. Mark Prior, the Dodgers’ pitching coach, provided updates on Sasaki's condition, noting he is pain-free but still only throwing lightly. The current rotation relies heavily on pitchers like Clayton Kershaw while the team ensures Sasaki's recovery is cautious and thorough.
Not a whole lot to report on Roki, he’s been throwing, still just light catch and not a lot of work other than light catch right now. He's pain-free, but hasn't gotten to the point where he can put enough intensity to push forward in his progression.
The rotation is being held together with virtual string, chewing gum, and frequent promotions from the minor leagues. As of right now, the grouping of Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Clayton Kershaw, Dustin May, and Ben Casparius figures to hold down the fort until others return.
