Roki Sasaki, a rookie pitcher for the Los Angeles Dodgers, has been placed on the 15-day injured list due to a right shoulder impingement after struggling with discomfort. In eight starts, he held a 1-1 record with a 4.72 ERA. He hopes to return in late June, aiming to make mechanical adjustments while on the IL. Manager Dave Roberts believes this break could help Sasaki regain strength and improve his performance, given his previous pitching challenges this season.
Roki Sasaki is targeting a return in late June from what the team described as a shoulder impingement, but the rookie never looked entirely comfortable before he went down, so who knows what he will offer them when he comes back.
I do feel like this is a good time to be able to do that, so I want to make sure that I'm fully healthy and be able to address anything that I had so that it leads to better performance.
Obviously, we didn't know what to expect this year, but to think he was going to go wire to wire, given his track record and history of innings, was probably unrealistic. So this could be that little bit of reprieve in the middle of the season.
So this could be that little bit of reprieve in the middle of the season. Then we can get him back to feeling healthy, strong, 100%, and help us get through the World Series.
