Dodgers pitcher Roki Sasaki says latest shoulder injury isn't as bad as it was last year in Japan
Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Roki Sasaki says his right shoulder injury isn't as bad as it was last year in JapanMAY 15 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Pauses all throwing Manager Dave Roberts said Wednesday that Sasaki will be shut down from throwing for a while, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
Impact The Dodgers skipper didn't offer any more details as to what "a while" could mean, but it seems the team is going to see how Sasaki responds to a period of rest before it considers administering any sort of medical treatment. The 23-year-old landed on the injured list Tuesday with a right shoulder impingement, and depending on how long his no-throw period lasts, he could be at risk of missing more than the minimum 15 days.

Lands on IL The Dodgers placed Sasaki on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with a right shoulder impingement.
Impact Sasaki came away from his last start Friday with a bit of soreness in his shoulder, and further evaluation determined it would be best for the 23-year-old righty to sit down until closer to the end of May. J.P. Feyereisen was recalled from Triple-A to fill the open spot on the pitching staff, though it's still unknown who will take Sasaki's place to start against the A's on Thursday.

Lands on IL The Dodgers placed Sasaki on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with a right shoulder impingement.
Impact Sasaki came away from his last start Friday with a bit of soreness in his shoulder, and further evaluation determined it would be best for the 23-year-old righty to sit down for at least a couple of weeks. J.P. Feyereisen was recalled from Triple-A to fill the open spot on the pitching staff, though it's still unknown who will take Sasaki's place in the starting rotation.

Dealing with sore arm Sasaki reported soreness in his right arm after his most recent start Friday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
Impact Manager Dave Roberts said the Dodgers are still trying to determine whether Sasaki's arm will force him to spend time on the injured list. The 23-year-old righty is currently due to start Thursday's game against the Athletics, though the team may have to turn to its minor-league depth or bullpen to get them through the series finale if Sasaki is unable to pitch.

Searching for more velocity The Dodgers are working with Sasaki to address his declined fastball velocity, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Impact Sasaki hit triple digits with his fastball in his March 19 start in Tokyo, but he hasn't hit 99 mph in the United States and his velocity has dropped as low as 92-93 mph in recent starts. "It's not an ideal situation," pitching coach Mark Prior said. "Clearly, the fastball is not gonna carry through the zone at 93 very effectively." Prior said there are things in Sasaki's delivery that need to be fixed, and that's also a potential cause of his 14.3 percent walk rate. Sasaki is confirmed to start Thursday at home against the Athletics.

Yields two homers Friday Sasaki allowed five runs on five hits and two walks while failing to record a strikeout over four innings versus the Diamondbacks. He did not factor in the decision.
Impact This was Sasaki's first start on five days' rest, which may have contributed to his struggles. Arizona tagged him for three runs, including two home runs, in the first inning, though the Dodgers built up a lead before he exited the contest. He's now allowed six homers, all of which have come over his last five outings after he kept the ball down in three short starts to begin his major-league career. Sasaki is at a 4.72 ERA, 1.49 WHIP and 24:22 K:BB over 34.1 innings across eight starts this season. The Dodgers are likely to play it cautious with the 23-year-old right-hander moving forward, especially when the schedule allows for more rest between his starts.
