Roki Sasaki Closing In on Dodgers Return vs. Padres After Finger Injury
The Los Angele Dodgers are getting Roki Sasaki back for the team's last marquee regular-season series against the San Diego Padres.
The Los Angeles Dodgers are preparing to bring Roki Sasaki back for their final regular-season series against the San Diego Padres following a finger injury. Sasaki was sidelined due to a blister that formed on his right middle finger during his last start on August 26th against the Atlanta Braves. He was pulled after pitching 3.1 innings and 66 pitches, resting and allowing the blister to heal.
Sasaki has since completed multiple bullpen sessions and a live batting practice outing, according to Dodgers Nation's Noel Sanchez. Manager Dave Roberts revealed that the team intends to start Sasaki early next week during the San Diego series, though the exact role remains to be determined.
