Los Angeles Dodgers right-hander Yoshinobu Yamamoto (shoulder) threw a 20-pitch bullpen session Saturday. It was Yamamoto's first bullpen session since being placed on the injured list with a shoulder injury. " He threw fastballs, curveballs, and splitters in Saturday's bullpen session. The team was excited about his command and velocity," said Dodgers manager Dave Roberts. The 25-year-old has been on the injured list since June 16 with a rotator cuff strain. He was transferred to the 60-day injured list and will look to continue to progress in his rehab without any setbacks. Yamamoto could return by September, and fantasy managers should continue to stash him in all leagues after posting a 2.92 ERA, 1.07 WHIP, and an 84:17 K: BB across 74 innings in 2024.
Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto (shoulder) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session on Friday. The right-hander is working his way back from a rotator cuff issue that has sidelined him since mid-June. The assumption is that Yoshinobu is going to need a few throwing sessions before beginning a rehab assignment. If everything goes well, Yamamoto could be back in the Dodgers rotation by the end of August.
Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto was transferred to the 60-day IL on Saturday. Brent Honeywell, who was successfully claimed off of waivers from the Pittsburgh Pirates, will be put on the 40-man roster in Yamamoto's place and is expected to be active Sunday. Yamamoto is ineligible to return until August 15, but returning that soon is probably too optimistic as the Japanese righty just began a throwing program Saturday and would likely need to make a few rehab starts before rejoining the club. Honeywell pitched just three-and-a-third innings for Pittsburgh this season.
Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto (shoulder) has begun his throwing program and threw twice this week out to 60 feet, according to Dodgers manager Dave Roberts on Friday. Roberts noted last week that this was a "big step" in Yamamoto's progression as he works to rehabilitate from his rotator-cuff strain. The Japanese right-hander was previously shut down from throwing, so being able to see progress marks a very positive step for a Dodgers rotation that's currently marred with injury concerns. Should Yamamoto continue to progress positively, it should be expected he will return at some point in August. Fantasy managers should prepare their roster accordingly and keep holding onto the 25-year-old until he's back. His 2.92 ERA will greatly help a Dodgers rotation that's likely to add a starter or two via trade before the deadline at the end of the month.
Los Angeles Dodgers right-hander Yoshinobu Yamamoto (shoulder) will play catch next week. He had been sidelined since June 16 with a rotator cuff strain. The 25-year-old was previously shut down from throwing and will begin a program next week. "It's a big step," said Dodgers manager Dave Roberts. Yamamoto continues to make progress in his rehab and was described as pain-free on Wednesday. He owned a (6-2) record with a 2.92 ERA, 1.07 WHIP, and an 84:17 K: BB before landing on the injured list. Barring any setbacks, Yamamoto appears to be on track to return in August. Fantasy managers should continue to stash the Dodgers rookie in all formats.
