Roki Sasaki Set to Return in Relief Role Tuesday

Los Angeles Dodgers right-hander Roki Sasaki is expected to be activated from the 15-day injured list on Tuesday to pitch out of the bullpen against the San Diego Padres. Sasaki has been out since August 26 due to a blister on his right middle finger. Manager Dave Roberts indicated Sasaki will be utilized in high-leverage relief, potentially pitching multiple innings rather than serving as a traditional bulk reliever during Tuesday's bullpen game.
