Yoshinobu Yamamoto to Rejoin Dodgers' Rotation After Long Injury Layoff

The right-hander returns against the Cubs next week, providing a crucial boost to the injury-hit Dodgers pitching staff.

Yamamoto has been sidelined since June with a triceps injury and will be limited in his initial outings.
He posted a strong 2.92 ERA and 84 strikeouts in 74 innings before his injury.
The Dodgers lead the NL West by 5.5 games and aim to secure the best record in the National League.
Injuries to Clayton Kershaw and Tyler Glasnow have left the Dodgers' rotation thin.
Yamamoto's performance in the coming weeks will be vital for the Dodgers' postseason plans.
