AUGUST 26, 2024 • KANSASCITY.COM

Beginning rehab assignment Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Sunday that Yamamoto (triceps) will start a rehab assignment Wednesday with Triple-A Oklahoma City, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Impact It's the final stage of the rehab progress for the Japanese right-hander, who has been sidelined since mid-June due to triceps tightness. Yamamoto has recently thrown a few simulated games and should be ready to cover at least a couple frames in his first rehab start. The Dodgers are targeting mid-September to bring him back from the injured list.

Rehab assignment coming Yamamoto (triceps) could begin a rehab assignment Wednesday, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

Impact Yamamoto has been eyeing a mid-September return and will advance to a minor-league rehab assignment next week if his next bullpen session goes well. The right-hander has been sidelined since June 15 and is expected to throw three simulated innings in the bullpen session. He'll likely require multiple rehab starts before being activated from the 60-day injured list.

Rehab assignment coming If Yamamoto (triceps) doesn't endure a setback in his next bullpen session, he will make a two-inning rehab start Wednesday, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

Impact Yamamoto has been eyeing a mid-September return and will advance to a minor-league rehab assignment if his final bullpen session goes well. The right-hander has been sidelined since June 15 and is expected to throw three simulated innings in the bullpen session. He'll likely require multiple rehab starts before being activated from the 60-day injured list.

Aiming for mid-September return Manager Dave Roberts said Wednesday that Yamamoto (triceps) is on track to rejoin the Dodgers' rotation sometime in mid-September, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Impact Roberts noted that he was impressed with Yamamoto's stuff during his two-inning sim game Wednesday, and the team will stretch the right-hander out to three innings when he throws another sim game next week. Assuming everything goes smoothly, he will then head out on a minor-league rehab assignment to continue building up to a starter's workload.

Set for second sim game Wednesday Yamamoto (triceps) will throw a two-inning simulated game Wednesday, per MLB.com.

Impact This will be Yamamoto's second sim game since landing on the injured list in mid-June. In his first, the Japanese hurler threw 17 pitches in St. Louis on Aug. 16. Yamamoto is expected to follow Wednesday's simulated game with a three-inning sim game before heading out on a minor-league rehab assignment. He could return to the Dodgers' rotation in early September.

Throws 17 pitches Friday Yamamoto (triceps) threw 17 pitches in his live bullpen session Friday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Impact Friday marked the first time Yamamoto has faced live hitters since going on the injured list in June. His session was cut short due to the heat, but he noted afterwards that he felt good. The 25-year-old will have at least two more live sessions before going on a rehab assignment.

AUGUST 16, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Facing batters Friday Yamamoto (triceps) threw about 40 pitches during a bullpen session Tuesday and is scheduled to face hitters Friday, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

Impact The right-hander continues to build toward a rehab assignment, and Friday's session could go a long way toward clearing him for game action. Yamamoto will likely require multiple outings in the minors before rejoining the Dodgers, so he shouldn't be expected to be reinstated until at least the end of August.

Facing hitters next weekend Yamamoto (triceps) will throw a bullpen Tuesday and then rejoin the Dodgers during their three-game series against the Cardinals that starts Aug. 16 to throw live batting practice,...

Impact Yamamoto has completed multiple bullpens and, assuming all goes well Tuesday, will advance to facing batters for the first time since going on the injured list June 16. The 25-year-old is still multiple weeks away from pitching in a game, and it's likely he'll require a minor-league rehab assignment. Yamamoto worked up to 30 pitches in his most recent bullpen session.

Impact Yamamoto has completed multiple bullpens and, assuming all goes well Tuesday, will advance to facing batters for the first time since going on the injured list June 16. The 25-year-old is still multiple weeks away and it's likely he'll require a minor-league rehab assignment. Yamamoto worked up to 30 pitches in his most recent bullpen session.

Tosses 30 pitches in bullpen Yamamoto (triceps) threw a 30-pitch bullpen session Tuesday, the Associated Press reports.

Impact The bullpen was Yamamoto's second since landing on the injured list June 16. In his previous session, which took place Saturday, the right-hander threw 20 pitches, and he increased that count by 10 on Tuesday. Yamamoto is slated to toss another bullpen this week before pitching to live hitters next week. If he continues to build up without any setbacks, Yamamoto could return to the Dodgers' rotation in late August or early September.

AUGUST 7, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Threw bullpen session Saturday Yamamoto (shoulder) threw a 20-pitch bullpen session Saturday, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Impact Yamamoto has been sidelined since June 16 with right triceps tightness and the bullpen session was his first since being placed on the injured list. Manager Dave Roberts said afterwards that he was "excited about his (Yamamoto) command and velocity." Yamamoto has no exact timetable for his return, but if he's able to continue to progress without any setbacks, he could be activated from the 60-day IL in the next month or so.

AUGUST 3, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Bullpen session on tap Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Sunday that Yamamoto (triceps) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session Friday, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

Impact The Japanese right-hander lacks a clear timeline for his return from the triceps injury, but his return to mound work is an encouraging development, regardless. Yamamoto won't be ready to be activated from the 60-day injured list when first eligible Aug. 15, but a return in late August or early September remains possible if he can continue to build up his throwing program with no setbacks.

Lacks clear timeline for return Yamamoto (tricep) said Sunday that he's been playing catch out to 200 feet, but he has yet to receive clearance for mound work and admitted that he's without a clear timeline to re...

Impact Yamamoto is eligible to come off the IL until Aug. 15, but the Dodgers don't seem to be counting on him returning at that time, with Alden Gonzalez of ESPN.com instead suggesting that the team is "holding out hope" for him to resume pitching in the big leagues in late August or early September. The Dodgers will get two key members of the rotation in Tyler Glasnow (back) and Clayton Kershaw (shoulder) back from the IL this week, and the club is seemingly hopeful that those additions will be enough to stabilize the pitching staff until Yamamoto eventually returns to the mix. After signing Yamamoto to a lavish deal this past winter, the Dodgers are cognizant of prioritizing his long-term health and ensuing that he's in optimal health by the time the playoffs begin in October. Yamamoto still appears on pace to return before the end of the regular season, but if absence extends into September, fantasy managers in redraft leagues with limited or no IL spots might not be able to justify holding him.

Dodgers pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto (triceps) moved to 60-day IL

Dodgers pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto, who has been dealing with a triceps issue, was moved to the 60-day injured list on Sunday.

Dodgers pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto (triceps) moved to 60-day IL

Moved to 60-day IL The Dodgers transferred Yamamoto (shoulder) to the 60-day IL, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Impact Yamamoto won't be eligible to activation until after August 15, but considering he just started playing catch this week, he likely wouldn't have been ready to return before mid August anyway. Instead, the move will open up a spot for Brent Honeywell on the 40-man roster, who was claimed off waivers from Pittsburgh on Saturday. Yamamoto has been shelved since June 16 and will likely require multiple minor-league rehab starts before being reinstated from the injured list.

JULY 14, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Starts playing catch Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Friday that Yamamoto (shoulder) played catch from 60 feet twice this week, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Impact It's an encouraging step for the Japanese right-hander, who had been shut down from throwing since he landed on the injured list with a rotator cuff strain in mid-June. Yamamoto will need to build his arm strength up a bit before he returns to throwing off a mound. He's likely not particularly close to a return as he'll also need multiple rehab starts in the minors before rejoining the Dodgers.

JULY 12, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

To play catch next week Yamamoto (shoulder) will begin playing catch next week, Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Impact Yamamoto has been shut down from throwing since being diagnosed with a right rotator cuff strain June 16 but will resume a throwing program in the coming days. The 25-year-old is no longer feeling pain in his shoulder and seems to be on track for an August return.

To play catch next week Yamamoto (shoulder) will begin playing catch next week, Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Impact Yamamoto has been shut down from throwing since being diagnosed with a right rotator cuff strain June 16, but he will resume a throwing program in the coming days. The 25-year-old is no longer feeling pain in his shoulder and seems to be on track for an August return.

JULY 6, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Nearing throwing program Yamamoto (shoulder) has been working with a plyo ball and could resume throwing soon, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Impact Yamamoto has made progress in his rehab and was described as pain free Wednesday. Assuming that remains the case, he's expected to start playing catch again before the All-Star break, likely meaning he won't return before August.

JULY 4, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Described as pain-free Yamamoto is no longer feeling pain in his right shoulder, but he hasn't yet started throwing, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Impact Yamamoto was diagnosed with a right rotator cuff strain two days after being able to complete only two innings in his most recent start June 15. While the rookie right-hander is now pain-free, he isn't yet throwing, and manager Dave Roberts indicated that there's no clear timeframe for when the hurler will pick up a ball again. The organization figures to be cautious with Yamamoto, and he almost certainly won't return to action until after the All-Star break.

JULY 3, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Dealing with rotator cuff injury Yamamoto (triceps) was diagnosed with a right rotator cuff strain Sunday, Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Impact Yamamoto was lifted from his start Saturday versus the Royals in the third inning with right tricep tightness before being placed on the 15-day injured list Sunday. It is now understood to be a rotator cuff injury, which is certainly a more significant diagnosis. Manager Dave Roberts said that the injury is not "season ending" but it's "going to be some time" before the right-hander will be able to return. In regards to his replacement in the Dodgers' starting rotation, Bobby Miller (shoulder) is expected to return to the major-league roster Wednesday. It's unclear how much of a factor Yamamoto will be for fantasy managers the rest of the season.
