Roki Sasaki Remains a High-Upside Breakout Candidate to Target on the Waiver Wire
Across 68 innings (13 starts) so far in 2026, Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Roki Sasaki has recorded a 3-4 record with a 4.76 ERA, 1.29 WHIP, and 70 strikeouts. The talented 24-year-old has been frustratingly inconsistent so far this season. After logging a 6.35 ERA through the end of April, Sasaki pitched to a 3.18 ERA with a 19.3% K-BB rate in May. However, his ERA has rocketed back up to 5.29 so far in June. Still, a deeper look at Sasaki's performance this month shows some reasons for optimism. The young right-hander's ERA is inflated by one blowup outing against the White Sox, in which he allowed seven earned runs over 4 1/3 innings. Sasaki's strikeout rate in June is 29%, and his WHIP is 1.12. Sasaki's profile carries risk, but he remains a worthy upside play on the waiver wire.
