7/30/25	Dodgers' Roki Sasaki injury return gets big update from Dave Roberts. While the 2025 MLB trade deadline is rapidly approaching, it looks like the Los Angeles Dodgers are about to receive some major upgrades without so much as surrendering a single asset. “Roki Sasaki is expected to face hitters for the first time since getting hurt sometime this weekend,” Roberts said via the LA Times' Jack Harris.

7/25/25	Notes: Sasaki, trade deadline, González. The Dodgers’ starting rotation will begin to be at full capacity in the near future, and that includes the potential return of Roki Sasaki. Sasaki has not pitched since May 9, where he managed just four innings in an eventual slugfest against the Arizona Diamondbacks, as he has dealt with a shoulder impingement that has sidelined him for over two months. The road to recovery has been paved for Sasaki, with his first step being a 39-pitch bullpen session on Wednesday. Source: https://sports.yahoo.com/article/notes-sasaki-trad...
7/23/25	Dodgers' Roki Sasaki 'building up' after shoulder injury. Right-hander Roki Sasaki will not be on the upcoming long-haul road trip to Boston, Cincinnati and Tampa, yet will be on his own busy travel and work schedule. Sasaki threw a 39-pitch bullpen session Wednesday morning and will have another Saturday at Dodger Stadium when the team is on the East Coast. Sasaki's first pitching session against hitters since his recovery began will come at some point next week at the team's facility in the desert. Sasaki has made just eight starts in his rookie season and none after May 9 because of a shoulder impingement. Source: https://www.dailybulletin.com/2025/07/23/dodgers-r...
7/18/25	Cubs could create army of lefty aces with shocking deadline blockbuster. In need of starting pitching help at the trade deadline, could the Cubs go after one of the best pitchers in baseball? That triumvirate may not have the name brand recognition of some of the other collections of aces out there — it's pretty freaking hard to compete with Roki Sasaki, Yoshinobu Yamamoto, and Shohei Ohtani, after all — but it's a group that belongs among MLB's best, especially following Boyd's All-Star emergence this season.
