Since the start of the season, Roki Sasaki was not exactly up to it.
And you know like me that there is a nuance between a launcher who is stressed and a launcher losing velocity. And velocity was one of Sasaki's problems.
By the strength of things, we could therefore wonder if there was not an injury behind all this.
And now yes. Shoulder pain have forced the dodgers to place the launcher leaving on the injured list for the rest of things. It is not known for how long it will be absent, but it will be at least for a fortnight.
This means that the Dodgers have eight starters who cannot launch, at the moment: Shohei Ohtani, River Ryan, Gavin Stone, Emmet Sheehan, Tyler Glasnow, Blake Snell, Roki Sasaki and Clayton Kershaw.
The latter will come back on Saturday, at least, which will ensure that the Dodgers will theoretically need to use lift committees to pass through certain matches.
Among the readers, Evan Phillips, Michael Kopech, Blake Treinen and Brusdar Graterol are on the injured list. This means that at the moment, 11 launchers are on the list of the injured, including seven on the long term.
Ohtani is not on the injured list, him … but …
Despite the fact that the Dodgers have a whole launcher staff on the IL, the club continues to perform well. There is no excuse there and the 27-15 sheet is remarkable.
But you know like me that the plan is that the launchers are in good shape for the series.
- Jeff Hoffman has Again Implosed and the Blue Jays lost.
- Five strokes victorious yesterday in baseball.
- The brave played for .500 and Ronald Acuna Jr. comes back to life in minors. He will continue to continue his rehabilitation in the AAA.
- Corey Seager is still injured.
- Aaron Judge who goes to the hospital to see a teammate: that is a captain.
