Roki Sasaki Placed on 15-Day IL With Right Middle Finger Blister
The Dodgers have placed Roki Sasaki on the 15-day injured list after he exited his Wednesday start in Atlanta in the 4th inning with a blister on his right middle finger.
The Dodgers have placed Roki Sasaki on the 15-day injured list with a blister on his right middle finger, per LA beat reporter Fabian Ardaya and subsequently announced by the club via MLB.com.
Sasaki exited his Wednesday start in Atlanta in the 4th inning when the blister became an issue, removing him from the Dodgers' rotation for at least the near term. The 15-day IL designation sets a floor on his absence, though no timetable for his return has been reported.
What we don't know yet
The severity of the blister and any treatment plan have not been detailed in the available reporting. Finger blisters can be unpredictable — some resolve quickly, others linger — but no prognosis has been attached to this one, so the operational picture for the Dodgers rotation remains genuinely open.
The club's lineup for their game at Atlanta was posted separately, so the immediate roster implications are in motion. What comes next for Sasaki's spot in the rotation is unconfirmed.
