Dave Roberts Provides Encouraging Update on Dodgers' Roki Sasaki originally appeared on Athlon Sports.

Roberts gave an update recently that Sasaki has been in the weight room getting stronger, but has been unable to throw any real pitches in the last several weeks. Truly a bad break for the Los Angeles Dodgers pitching staff, who have dealt with a plethora of injuries this season.

Los Angeles – Shohei Ohtani could return to a major league mound in the next two weeks but Los Angeles Dodgers rookie right-hander Roki Sasaki has paused his throwing program and is set for a lengthy layoff.

Everything indicated that Roki Sasaki's return was very close, however, the Dodgers have received some discouraging news about his health. According to information from journalist

At 40-27, the Dodgers lead the NL West, but by only 1 ½ games over the San Francisco Giants. It's a one-game lead in the loss column. The Dodgers started the season 8-0, their best start since moving to Los Angeles in 1958, but are 32-27 since. They're 16-16 in their last 32 games. That's not bad, but it is a month-long stretch of mediocre ball.
