""The thought is to get him through five innings (in his fourth rehab start)," Roberts said. "I think for us, it's just trying to get some consistency out of him to build him up and also at this point in time, just to perform. Our starters are pitching well, so the bar's high. This is a good learning process for Roki, just to continue to pound the hitting zone, the strike zone, command the baseball and perform.""
""The velocity needs to be consistent, the strike throwing needs to be consistent," Roberts added. "Just the overall command.""
"Muncy was initially expected to return by this weekend with his oblique injury. However, an illness has pushed back his return timeline, with the Dodgers now targeting a return sometime next week. The Dodgers return home on Monday, Sept. 8, which could be a target date for Muncy and LA. Edman is beginning a rehab assignment with Triple-A OKC on Tuesday as the team's designated hitter. Roberts said he'll only DH and play center field during his rehab stint, and is likely on pace for a return next week."
Los Angeles Dodgers are returning to health in September 2025 as multiple injured players progress through rehab and targeted return dates. Roki Sasaki has made three Triple-A rehab starts for a shoulder impingement and will likely need at least one more outing to build consistency and performance before rejoining the big-league staff. Muncy’s return from an oblique injury was delayed by an illness, with the team targeting next week and the Sept. 8 home return as a possibility. Tommy Edman begins a Triple-A rehab assignment as DH and center fielder and appears on pace to return next week. Hyeseong Kim and Michael Kopech are officially back, expanding both pitching and lineup options.
