With several members of the Los Angeles Dodgers due back soon from injury, the status of a highly-touted pitcher from Japan remains a relative mystery.
Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts spoke with the media Wednesday about several topics. One of those subjects was the status of rookie pitcher Roki Sasaki and his lack of success recently in Triple-A.
“I am surprised. Because the talent level is certainly there,” Roberts said. “The performance, the stuff hasn’t been there. I think there needs to be a tick up in stuff. And also against Triple-A hitters, you would expect more.
