The Los Angeles Dodgers have placed right-handed pitcher Roki Sasaki on the 60-day injured list due to a right shoulder injury, with manager Dave Roberts indicating Sasaki is not part of the team's plans for the current season. Sasaki has since resumed his throwing program, with Roberts expressing hope for his return by late August, estimating a minimum recovery period of six to seven weeks. Meanwhile, Dodgers reliever Michael Kopech was also moved to the 60-day injured list after undergoing surgery for a torn meniscus in his right knee. Roberts confirmed Kopech is expected to return this season despite the extended absence. Both players' injuries represent notable setbacks for the Dodgers' pitching staff as they navigate the ongoing MLB season.
