Overview

• Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Sasaki will be activated from the 60-day injured list before Wednesday night’s game at Chase Field.
• Sasaki will work out of the bullpen in short bursts with a chance to earn a place on the postseason roster based on how his stuff plays.
• In his latest Triple-A appearances, he logged two scoreless innings with three strikeouts and one walk while averaging 98.9 mph Friday and 97.5 mph Sunday.
• He has been sidelined since May with a right-shoulder impingement, and an uneven rehab as a starter plus a minor calf issue prolonged his assignment with no rotation opening available.
• Sasaki has minimal professional relief experience, and his audition comes as L.A. seeks stability in a right-handed group that includes struggling veterans and with Brock Stewart deemed day to day.
