Dodgers' Yamamoto leaves start vs. KC after 2 innings due to triceps tightness. IL stint is possible

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Dodgers pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto could be heading to the injured list after he left his start Saturday night against Kansas City after two innings due to triceps tightness.

“It’s a high possibility,” manager Dave Roberts said after the Dodgers' 7-2 loss. “The next steps will be to consult with the doctors and see if he needs testing. Right now, we're going by what he is saying and feeling."

Yamamoto had his scheduled start Thursday against Texas pushed back for extra rest due to the triceps tightness.
