Sasaki on IL with blister, Lauer slides back into Dodgers rotation
Roki Sasaki's blister injury forced the Dodgers to shift Eric Lauer from the bullpen back to a starting role.
Roki Sasaki landed on the injured list last week due to a blister on his right middle finger. His absence prompted the Dodgers to move Eric Lauer, who had been shifted to the bullpen, back into the starting rotation. Lauer struggled in his return to the rotation, allowing seven runs in just three innings against the Cardinals. The Dodgers lost 13-8 in the opener of their homestand.
