The Los Angeles Dodgers introduced starting pitcher Roki Sasaki Wednesday and then reliever Tanner Scott Thursday. Both press conferences were at Dodger Stadium.
However, there is one more contract that needs to be finalized.
The Dodgers reportedly agreed to a deal with Kirby Yates and the need for the right-hander came up when it was revealed that Michael Kopech would miss some time to open the season due to right forearm inflammation.
General manager Brandon Gomes provided a brief update on Kopech’s status Wednesday, seeming to downplay the report of the injury.
“He’s throwing and playing catch,” Gomes said.
