Dodgers' Resurgent Starter Leaves Game Under Concerning Circumstance
Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Roki Sasaki exited Wednesday's game against the Atlanta Braves in the fourth inning.
In the Los Angeles Dodgers' game against the Atlanta Braves on Wednesday, starting pitcher Roki Sasaki departed in the fourth inning following a blister on his right middle finger. This unexpected exit left the Dodgers leading by one run, as Hunter Feduccia and Tommy Edman had already driven in the team with a one-run single and a two-run homer, respectively.
Sasaki, who has been a standout performer for the Dodgers since the All-Star break, has allowed four earned runs in three and a third innings, issuing two walks and striking out three. With the Dodgers set to face their rotation next, they have several options to step in, including Skubal, Glasnow, and Yamamoto. Should Sasaki require an injury stint due to the blister, the team remains prepared to accommodate such a setback.
