Yoshinobu Yamamoto Set To Throw Another Bullpen, Then Face Live Hitters
4 months agoLos Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto (triceps) is set to throw another bullpen session on Tuesday and then is expected to travel to St. Louis to rejoin the Dodgers to face live hitters. The right-hander has thrown several successful bullpen sessions so far. Yamamoto was transferred to the 60-day injured list on July 13 due to right triceps tightness after originally hitting the 15-day IL in mid-June. In his final three starts before hitting the IL, he held a stellar 0.60 ERA and 0.93 WHIP with an overall 2.92 ERA and 1.07 WHIP through 74 frames. Yamamoto is worth keeping on your IL spot, given the elite upside he could provide during the stretch run.
