Sasaki Injury Rocks Dodgers | MLB News

Dodgers’ ace Roki Sasaki is sidelined after a sudden blister forced him out in the fourth inning, handing the rotation to Eric Lauer. The injury hits at a critical juncture as Tyler Glasnow recently returned and Shohei Ohtani is expected back soon. Sasaki, who’d been dominating with a stellar ERA, said the blister wrecked his slider. Manager Dave Roberts confirmed an IL stint was unavoidable. The bullpen held strong for five innings, but the Dodgers couldn’t cash in on 11 runners left on base—including a loaded eighth—leading to a Braves walk-off win. The loss gives Atlanta the season series edge and tightens LA’s playoff lead, setting up a crucial rebound game.
