Dodgers starting pitcher Roki Sasaki has been out since a start on May 9 and it sounds like his first season stateside might well already be concluded. The 23-year-old rookie has been shut down from his throwing program while trying to work his way back from a shoulder impingement.

The Los Angeles Dodgers paused right-hander Roki Sasaki's rehab program and indicated the rookie may not return this season.

Roberts gave an update recently that Sasaki has been in the weight room getting stronger, but has been unable to throw any real pitches in the last several weeks. Truly a bad break for the Los Angeles Dodgers pitching staff, who have dealt with a plethora of injuries this season.
