Added to MLB roster ahead of debut Sasaki was added to the Dodgers' 40-man roster ahead of the season opener in Japan. He's set to make his MLB debut March 19 against the Cubs in the second game of the Tokyo Series.

Impact Sasaki technically signed a minor-league contract when joining the Dodgers, so his promotion to the majors is just a technicality. The 23-year-old made his second appearance of the spring Tuesday in Los Angeles' final Cactus League game, allowing just one hit over four shutout innings while striking out two batters and walking two.

Impact The expectation all spring had been that Sasaki would get to pitch while the Dodgers were in Japan, but it has now been made official. The 23-year-old made his second appearance of the spring Tuesday in Los Angeles' final Cactus League game, allowing just one hit over four shutout innings while striking out two batters and walking two. His first regular-season test will come against a Cubs squad that posted an .868 OPS during spring training -- the highest of any team.

Strikes out five in spring debut Sasaki allowed two hits and a walk while striking out five batters over three scoreless innings during his Cactus League debut Tuesday against the Reds.

Impact Sasaki averaged 98 mph on his fastball Tuesday and topped out at 99.3 mph, which manager Dave Roberts said he hadn't seen from him all spring, per Sonja Chen of MLB.com. While Sasaki's velocity was up, he had a bit of a tough time locating the zone, throwing 26 of his 46 pitches for strikes. Eight of those strikes came on swing-and-misses, and seven of those were generated using his splitter. The Dodgers haven't yet confirmed when the 23-year-old's next appearance will be, but the team will likely look to get him at least one more outing before their spring schedule ends March 11.
