Roki Sasaki Activated From Injured List and Set for Postseason Relief Role

The Dodgers activated Roki Sasaki off the injured list on Tuesday after he missed time due to a blister on his right middle finger. Sasaki struggled earlier in the year but rebounded with a 3.25 ERA over his last eight starts, carrying a streak of six straight appearances allowing two runs or fewer before his injury. With the rotation set, manager Dave Roberts plans to utilize Sasaki out of the bullpen in a multi-inning relief role for the upcoming postseason push.
