"Additionally, the recently-acquired southpaw Andrew Heaney has had back-to-back showings in Triple-A that certainly make a case for him being promoted to the majors. The veteran put up career numbers during his last stint with the Dodgers in 2022, and can be a force to be reckoned with in October if he can replicate that production."
"Finally, speaking of pitchers having successful outings in Triple-A, right-hander Roki Sasaki seems to have gotten his velocity back up after his most recent rehab start. The 23-year-old phenom had a drop in his once-electric fastball, but after raising his average heater velocity by 4.2 mph in between starts, things look to be headed in the right direction."
"In other news, manager Dave Roberts has a prediction on superstar Shohei Ohtani. He has been batting .333 with an OPS of 1.163 during the month of September, as the skipper has some massive expectations for the three-time MVP."
The Los Angeles Dodgers lost to the Philadelphia Phillies, 6-5, and fell to 84-66 on the year. Shohei Ohtani has batted .333 with a 1.163 OPS during September, and manager Dave Roberts has massive expectations for the three-time MVP. Recently-acquired lefty Andrew Heaney recorded back-to-back Triple-A outings that make a case for a major-league promotion after strong performance with the Dodgers in 2022. Right-hander Roki Sasaki regained velocity in a rehab start, raising his average fastball by 4.2 mph between starts. Emmet Sheehan threw 5.2 no-hit innings in a playoff-like outing and owns a 3.17 season ERA.
