A few days after Dave Roberts' major announcement on Roki Sasaki, the dodgers extend the triple-a section after a calf injury

The return of Roki Sasaki to Dodgers of Los Angeles“Titching rotation will have to wait. The Japanese launcher should take another rehabilitation departure to Oklahoma City before the team made a decision concerning its role.

On Saturday marks 30 days since Roki Sasaki was assigned to Triple-A Oklahoma. Launchers sent to minors for rehabilitation are generally brought back to the MLB in a month. The case of Sasaki seems to be unique in this regard, as reported by the journalist of Los Angeles Jack Harris on X.

“Dave Roberts said that the next Roki Sasaki outing will be in OKC again. Sasaki had a” calf situation “during the third round of his last outing that they wanted to make sure. If it goes well, Roberts said Sasaki could be ready to return to the alignment of the MLB after,” Harris wrote.

This follows the coach Dave Roberts, uncertain, where Sasaki would integrate into the rotation of the dodgers when he is ready. He Tell to journalists Wednesday:

“As I said last week, the guys are going well with regard to beginners. So we just could see where he integrates, and we will have this conversation as an organization.”

Sasaki made five appearances with the OKC comedians, where he has a 0-2 and a 6.75 MPM file, after being placed on the injured list in May due to a right shoulder injury. The last start of the Oklahoma recruit showed some signs of improvement, because it became aimless in the first four rounds before being pursued from the match in the fifth after 90 throws.

Before injuring himself, the 23-year-old had made eight departures as part of the starting rotation, where he had a 1-1 file with an MPM of 4.72.

Dave Roberts alludes to the role of Roki Sasaki in the rotation of the dodgers

When Roki Sasaki moved to Los Angeles, they expected that he was a long -term solution to a rotation that was injured in stars like Shohei OhtaniBlake Snell and Tyler Glasnow. All three have since returned to rotation, the team currently responding to six starters with Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Clayton Kershaw and Emmet Sheehan.

In this spirit, the manager of the Dodgers Dave Roberts Tell to journalists Friday:

“I think Roki is … of my understanding, in the right place to do everything to help the team. [Pitching in relief] It would be something that would be completely strange for him, so it would also be a bit of faith on his part.

“But I think he understands how the starting launchers Trent. He just wants to be part of it. He worked very hard to put himself in a position to contribute.”

The team will watch the start of Sasaki on Tuesday and will probably make a decision from there.
