Sasaki has been on the injured list since mid-May with a right-shoulder impingement. It was unclear if he would pitch again this season, but he’s now trending toward a return late in the season.
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said after the sim game that the team was still figuring out if Sasaki’s next step is a rehab assignment or another sim game. He praised Sasaki’s delivery as looking cleaner, while also noting that he was still figuring some things out:
He’s more physical, I know he’s gained some weight. The throw wasn’t as shoulder-y, I think it’s a little bit more clean. He was still kind of searching, as far as asking the pitching coaches and things, and that’s what people do. We’re waiting for him to get to a point where he feels really comfortable and confident in his delivery and where he’s at, so he can attack the hitters. We’re not there yet, but I thought for a three-inning situation, solid.”
