Dodgers Rookie Roki Sasaki Strives for MLB Return, Playoff Role After Extended Absence

Los Angeles Dodgers rookie Roki Sasaki is actively working to get back on track and earn a playoff role as of September 18, 2025. Sasaki has not pitched in the majors since May, marking a challenging and disappointing start to his first MLB season. Efforts to return include a 'tweaked repertoire,' suggesting strategic adjustments are being made. His current focus is on ending his rookie campaign on a positive note by rejoining the team and contributing to their playoff push, despite the extended absence from major league play.
