Dodgers’ Yoshinobu Yamamoto Gets Unexpected Help in Minor League Rehab Start

Dodgers’ Yoshinobu Yamamoto has not pitched in a major league game since June 15 because of a rotator cuff strain. The Dodgers placed Yamamoto on the 60-day injured list on July 13.

In the meantime, Yamamoto has taken massive steps in his recovery process. The Dodgers sent Yamamoto on a rehab assignment to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Wednesday. He made his first rehab start against the Round Rock Express. Across two innings, he was charged with one earned run, struck out two, and allowed no walks and one hit.

In the bottom of the second inning, there were two outs on the board.
