Roki Sasaki to Make Another Relief Appearance in Minors on Sunday
Roki Sasaki (calf, shoulder) made a relief appearance with Triple-A Oklahoma City on Thursday night and retired three of the four batters he faced with two strikeouts and a walk, according to Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times. His fastball was sitting at 99 mph, and he touched 100.1 mph while getting a whiff or a foul tip on seven of nine swings. Manager Dave Roberts said that Sasaki will make another relief appearance with OKC on Sunday, and if that goes well, he could be back with the big-league club next week for the final stretch of the regular season. Sasaki, who has only made eight starts for L.A. in his first MLB season due to shoulder and calf injuries, is still in contention for a postseason roster spot as a reliever. The 23-year-old Japanese hurler is going to need to show better command to earn a playoff roster spot, though. In his 34 1/3 innings earlier in 2025, he had a 4.72 ERA, 1.48 WHIP, and 24:22 K:BB.
