Yoshinobu Yamamoto Likely To Be Placed On IL
6 months agoAccording to Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts, there is a "high probability" that starting pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto will be placed on the 15-Day IL, although an official decision will not be made until after he's been examined by team doctors on Sunday. Yamamoto exited Saturday's start early, lasting just two innings before being removed due to what has been characterized as forearm tightness. Losing Yamamoto for an extended time would be a big blow to the Dodgers' rotation, as he's been excellent this season, pitching to a 6-2 record, 2.92 ERA, 1.07 WHIP, and 22.3% K-BB%.
