Star Rookie Roki Sasaki’s Sudden Injury Sends Shockwaves Through Dodgers’ Season Outlook
It’s a rocky road ahead, but with a mix of talent, grit, and some smart management, this team will be fighting through it all.
LOS ANGELES — Touted Los Angeles Dodgers rookie Roki Sasaki landed on the injured list Tuesday with right shoulder impingement.
He told the team his arm was sore after his last start in which he pitched on five days rest for the first time in the majors. Sasaki threw four innings and gave up five runs on 61 pitches Friday at Arizona.
“Physically he was a little bit sore afterwards and that’s something that we’re still trying to figure out, what’s normal and what’s not normal,” manager Dave Roberts said before the team announced Sasaki was sidelined. “We want to make sure that he’s in a good spot physically.”
