It appears as if Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Roki Sasaki isn’t too far away from returning to action with the big league club.
Due to a shoulder issue, Sasaki has not pitched in a game since May 9 versus the Arizona Diamondbacks. The Dodgers have been particularly cautious with the 23-year-old given it’s his first year pitching abroad away from his native Japan.
Doug Padilla of The Orange County Register caught up with manager Dave Roberts prior to Wednesday’s 4-3 victory over the Minnesota Twins.
