Dodgers fans have had to take anything Dave Roberts says about Roki Sasaki with a grain of salt. The same can be said for most of Roberts' injury updates, really, but Sasaki and Blake Snell are the two biggest question marks for LA. Snell is currently in Single-A on a rehab assignment, so he's on his way, but it's been unclear if Sasaki's entire rookie season will turn out to be a wash or not.
Roberts said at one point that the Dodgers were going to plan on life without him for the rest of the season, only to turn around with a promising update hours later and give fans hope that he actually would be back sometime this year.
