Dave Roberts Backs Roki Sasaki Despite Rough Spring Training Start, Eyes Rotation Role
Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts remains supportive of pitcher Roki Sasaki, despite a difficult spring training outing where Sasaki struggled as a starter. Roberts confirmed that Sasaki will continue to be given opportunities in the starting rotation, with no immediate plans to move him to the bullpen.
While the team is committed to developing Sasaki as a starter, they acknowledge that he has a lot to prove in the upcoming season and a potential bullpen role could be considered if struggles persist.
