Dodgers Place Roki Sasaki On Injured List With Shoulder Impingement
Roki Sasaki (shoulder) on the 15-day injured list with a right-shoulder impingement and recalled right-hander J.P. Feyereisen from Triple-A Oklahoma City in a corresponding move. Whether it's a phantom injury or a real one, we do know that the Japanese 23-year-old hasn't touched 99 mph with his fastball since his MLB debut in Tokyo back in late March. The Dodgers and Sasaki will now have several weeks to get to the root cause of his troubling drop in velocity, although it could definitely be due to right-shoulder fatigue in his first year in the big leagues. On top of his fastball being way too hittable because of its drop in velocity, Sasaki has walked 22 hitters in his first 34 1/3 innings for a 4.72 ERA through eight starts. He's still a work in progress. It's unclear who the Dodgers will use to fill his rotation spot moving forward.
