""It was great for the Dodgers, great for Roki's confidence, great for the organization," manager Dave Roberts said of Sasaki's most recent start. "But mostly it was great for Roki. Just to really let it eat, let it fly, have some success and know he can be the guy he's known to be.""
""From what I understand, he's going to be flying in today and I think he's going to sit down with all of us that make decisions and figure out what's the next step," Roberts said."
""I think just to be honest with Roki, and where we're at, where he's at, what's best for him and what's best for us," Roberts said. "I do think that question is going to be asked, because I think you can argue both. "Whether it's kind of getting ready for something to happen here in a starting role, or changing a role, I think it all should be on the table. We're going to have that conversation.""
Roki Sasaki struck out eight batters in 4.2 innings during a Triple-A rehab start for Oklahoma City, allowing his first run in the fifth inning while showing increased fastball velocity. The outing provided a confidence boost and drew praise from manager Dave Roberts. Sasaki is traveling to Los Angeles to meet with Dodgers coaches and decision-makers to evaluate his role for the remainder of the 2025 season. With the major-league rotation healthy, potential options include a bullpen role on the MLB roster or remaining in the Minors to continue making regular starts. Sasaki had been on the injured list since May 13 with a right shoulder impingement and had gone 1-1 with a 4.72 ERA and 1.49 WHIP in eight starts before the injury.
