"Roki Sasaki has started throwing bullpen sessions again and is feeling pain-free. Manager Dave Roberts has mentioned a possible return timeline in late August."
"Sasaki has a 4.72 ERA across 34.1 innings this season, with 24 strikeouts and 22 walks, indicating struggles since transitioning from NPB."
"In four NPB seasons, Sasaki had a 2.10 ERA, 505 strikeouts, and just 88 walks, showcasing his talent compared to his current challenges in the MLB."
"The Dodgers recognize that a pitcher's career longevity extends beyond just 34.1 innings, emphasizing patience in Sasaki's development and recovery from injury."
Roki Sasaki, a 23-year-old pitcher for the Dodgers, has been sidelined since May due to a shoulder impingement after struggling with command and posting a 4.72 ERA this season. Manager Dave Roberts reported that Sasaki has resumed throwing bullpen sessions without pain and indicated a potential return by late August. Sasaki's transition from Japan's Nippon Professional Baseball has presented challenges, as he had a stellar 2.10 ERA in four seasons there, contrasting sharply with his current performance in the MLB.
