""He wanted to keep going, feels that he needs to keep pitching," Roberts said. "His delivery is in a good spot. He's worked his tail off to get back in a good spot which we're very excited about.""

Roki Sasaki showed increased velocity and command in his most recent rehab outing but sustained a calf issue in the third inning of that Triple‑A appearance.
