The Los Angeles Dodgers lost, 11-1, to the Athletics on Tuesday in their first game back home after a 10-game road trip. L.A. fell to 27-15 on the season.
Ahead of the eventual loss, the Dodgers unfortunately placed Roki Sasaki on the injured list. After reportedly experiencing arm soreness, recent drops in his fastball velocity, and a recently optioned pitcher joining the team unexpectedly, the writing was on the wall for an IL stint.
Additionally, another team has emerged in a would-be deal for Luis Robert. The fellow National League juggernaut has been linked to a deal for the All-Star as they, too, could use his assistance on defense.
