Roki Sasaki, the promising rookie pitcher for the Los Angeles Dodgers, has been placed on the injured list due to a right shoulder impingement. After experiencing soreness following his recent start against the Arizona Diamondbacks, team management emphasized a cautious approach to ensure Sasakiâs health and performance standards. Despite showing potential, with 24 strikeouts and a .225 batting average against him, his velocity has decreased since his debut. Sasaki's scheduled start against the Athletics has been canceled while team officials assess his physical condition.
Roki told the team his arm was sore after his last start, and we want to make sure that he's in a good spot physically.
We're still trying to have conversations to see where he's at, aiming for him to perform up to his capabilities and our expectations.
There's a lot of things we're trying to suss out right now with Roki, focusing on understanding the root of his shoulder issues.
