Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Roki Sasaki has faced difficulties in his initial spring starts, yielding three runs in the first and a grand slam in the second. Despite these early results, the team plans to keep him in the rotation for the March 26th opening series. Manager Dave Roberts acknowledged Sasaki needs coaching but affirmed the team's view of him as a starter, committed to providing him opportunities for success.
