Roki Sasaki has Another Scoreless Relief Appearance, Could Return Wednesday
Roki Sasaki (shoulder) had another scoreless inning with Triple-A Oklahoma City on his rehab assignment on Sunday, striking out one and walking none. Sasaki has thrown two scoreless innings out of the bullpen and will rejoin the big-league club in Arizona during their upcoming road series in the final week of the regular season. The 23-year-old Japanese hurler is unlikely to come off the injured list until Wednesday, though, and he's expected to work out of the bullpen to close out the regular season. It makes sense to try Sasaki in the 'pen, given how much the Dodgers' relief corps has struggled in 2025. Sasaki won't be guaranteed to be on the playoff roster, though, and it's not exactly like he has pitched well in his first big-league season before he injured his shoulder. In his eight starts for the Dodgers, Sasaki had a 4.72 ERA and 1.48 WHIP with 24 strikeouts and 22 walks in 34 1/3 innings.
