"Sasaki began a rehab assignment with Triple-A Oklahoma City on Aug. 14 and has made five starts for the Dodgers' top Minor League affiliate. That's come with mixed results, though Sasaki did finish with a season-high five strikeouts in his outing this Tuesday. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts was pleased with Sasaki's start, and in particular due to his fastball velocity hovering around triple-digits throughout the 4.2 innings pitched. Next was a meeting between Sasaki and Dodgers leadership to determine a course of action moving forward."
"Roki Sasaki will have at least one more start with OKC, Dave Roberts said. Sasaki had "a calf situation," Roberts said, which allowed the team to extend his rehab past the 30 days. Roberts was still hopeful he could pitch in MLB games after that. - Fabian Ardaya (@FabianArdaya) September 13, 2025 The calf injury allows the Dodgers to reset Sasaki's timeline for his rehab assignments. Pitchers are allowed to be on a rehab assignment with a Minor League affiliate for up to 30 days, which the right-hander had effectively reached the end of this week. The Comets have eight games remaining on their schedule."
The Los Angeles Dodgers' starting rotation has been healthy and dominant with only 15 games remaining. Roki Sasaki began a rehab assignment with Triple-A Oklahoma City on Aug. 14 and has made five starts with mixed results and a season-high five strikeouts in one outing. Dave Roberts praised Sasaki's triple-digit fastball velocity over 4.2 innings. Sasaki experienced a calf situation in his last start, prompting the team to extend his rehab beyond the typical 30-day limit. The Comets have eight games left. The Dodgers' rotation success reduces urgency for Sasaki's immediate MLB return.
