The Dodgers received positive news about Roki Sasaki, who will begin a throwing progression following a shoulder impingement injury that sidelined him since May 13. Although his performance prior to the injury was subpar, he expressed intentions to focus on improvements while on the injured list. The team expects Sasaki, who was signed as a developing talent, to utilize this recovery time effectively to enhance his game upon return to the mound, aiding the struggling Dodgers rotation.
I do feel like this is a good time to do that, so I want to make sure that I'm fully healthy and to be able to address anything that I had so that it leads to better performance.
While the rookie has yet to find his rhythm in Major League Baseball, he revealed he planned on making necessary improvements during his stint on the IL.
When the Dodgers signed Sasaki, it was with the understanding that he was not a finished product.
However, the right-hander was already dealing with shoulder issues and decided to push through anyways so he could help a depleted Dodgers rotation.
