After spending nearly two months on the injured list, Yoshinobu Yamamoto is set to begin his rehab assignment Wednesday with Triple-A Oklahoma City in Round Rock at Dell Diamond.
According to Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts, the rookie right-hander will throw two innings and if it goes well, he is likely to make one more rehab start before rejoining the big league club.
On Friday, Yamamoto played catch without any issues and he pitched two innings in a simulated game on Wednesday.
“The ball was coming out of his hand with a lot of life,” Roberts told reporters on Wednesday.
