Roki Sasaki signed a minor league with the Los Angeles Dodgers Wednesday and was introduced as the newest member of the team at Dodger Stadium.

Dodgers president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman confirmed that Sasaki will begin the season as part of the Dodgers’ starting rotation when they open in Tokyo this March against the Chicago Cubs, with plans to build from there.
