Roki Sasaki Lands on IL With Right Middle Finger Blister

Roki Sasaki has been placed on the injured list after a blister on his right middle finger forced an early exit during his Wednesday start against the Braves. The injury occurred in the fourth inning, cutting short his recent resurgence on the mound. Manager Dave Roberts confirmed the roster move as the Dodgers navigate a critical stretch in the National League. Eric Lauer is expected to rejoin the starting rotation to fill the vacancy while Sasaki recovers.
