Dodgers could plan Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Roki Sasaki

The Los Angeles Dodgers have already lost two starters in Blake Snell and Tyler Glasnow. The injury songs seem to have been transferred from last season for the defending champions, since the pitching staff in particular was largely affected by the latest plague of symptoms.

With Glasnow and Snell, the Dodgers are not planning a six-man rotation realistically. While Tony Gonsolin returned to rotation, there are currently only four starters in Dustin May, Roki Sasaki, Yoshinobu Yamamoto and now Gonsolin.

The injuries to the starting report indicate that changes could soon be made. Manager Dave Roberts said a way that the team would explore will position Yamamoto and Sasaki more often. Nothing confirmed, but according to Roberts, the Dodgers will have a “conversation” about the idea.

At the moment, Yamamoto and Sasaki have both set space once a week and this schedule worked well for the first month of the season. However, since Glasnow goes on the IL, the Dodgers have to set a new schedule for their rotation.

The Dodgers Bullpen leads the league in Innings Pitched. This is an important concern for a team that took the last night season with a revised bullpen and three starters. To relieve the Bullpen, the Dodgers Yamamoto and Sasaki could take up more often, but at what price?

Both jugs are most comfortable with their current schedules because they did it overseas. It would be interesting to see whether the increase in your starts has a negative or positive effect on the duo, but the Dodgers seem to at least examine the idea.
